Find the value of x at which the function has a possible relative maximum or minimum point.​ (Recall that e Superscript x is pos

itive for all​ x.) Use the second derivative to determine the nature of the function at these points.
f(x)=(3+x)e-4x

What is the value of x at which the function has a possible relative maximum or minimum point?

Answer:

x= -11/4 is a maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a function has its critical points where the derivative equal zero. Therefore we need to compute the derivative of this function and find the points where the derivative is zero. Using the chain rule and the product rule we get that

f'(x)=  -e^{-4x}(11+4x)

And then we get that   if   11+4x = 0   then   x = -11/4 . So it has a critical point at   x = -11/4.

Now, if the second derivative evaluated at that point is less than 0 then the point is a maximum and if is greater than zero the point is a minimum.

Since

f''(x) = 8e^{-4x} (5+2x)\\f''(-11/4) = -239496.56

x= -11/4 is a maximum.

Which equation in slope intercept represents the line that goes through the points (-1, 6) and (1, -2)
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

D) y=-4x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-2-6)/(1-(-1))

m=-8/(1+1)

m=-8/2

m=-4

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-6=-4(x-(-1))

y-6=-4(x+1)

y=-4x-4+6

y=-4x+2

We can solve this problem using the binomial distribution. A binomial distribution<span> can be thought of as a success or failure outcome in an experiment or survey that is repeated multiple times. 
</span>Probability function of binomial distribution has the following form:
P= \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!} p^k(1-p)^{n-k}
p represents the probability of each choice we want. k is the number of choices we want and n is the total number of choices.
In our case p=0.85, k=5 and n=6. 
We can now calculate the answer:
P= \frac{6!}{5!(6-5)!} 0.85^5(1-0.85)^{6-5}=0.39
The probability is 39%.
