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?

1a. Is the point a relative maximum or mininum?

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.

Fantom [35]
You didn't give any choices, but the equation looks like this: 17 = 2x + 5.  Solving that for x tells you that he went on a big water slide 6 times. 2 times 6 plus 5 is the $17 he spent at the park.  See how well that works out?

A laboratory scale is known to have a standard deviation (sigma) or 0.001 g in repeated weighings. Scale readings in repeated we
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

99% confidence interval for the given specimen is [3.4125 , 3.4155].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a laboratory scale is known to have a standard deviation (sigma) or 0.001 g in repeated weighing. Scale readings in repeated weighing are Normally distributed with mean equal to the true weight of the specimen.

Three weighing of a specimen on this scale give 3.412, 3.416, and 3.414 g.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 99% confidence interval for the true mean specimen is given by;

        P.Q. = \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

where, \bar X = sample mean weighing of specimen = \frac{3.412+3.416+3.414}{3} = 3.414 g

            \sigma = population standard deviation = 0.001 g

            n = sample of specimen = 3

            \mu = population mean

<em>Here for constructing 99% confidence interval we have used z statistics because we know about population standard deviation (sigma).</em>

So, 99% confidence interval for the population​ mean, \mu is ;

P(-2.5758 < N(0,1) < 2.5758) = 0.99  {As the critical value of z at 0.5% level

                                                            of significance are -2.5758 & 2.5758}

P(-2.5758 < \frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < 2.5758) = 0.99

P( -2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < {\bar X - \mu} < 2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.99

P( \bar X-2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \mu < \bar X+2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ) = 0.99

<u>99% confidence interval for</u> \mu = [ \bar X-2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } , \bar X+2.5758 \times {\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ]

                                             = [ 3.414-2.5758 \times {\frac{0.001}{\sqrt{3} } } , 3.414+2.5758 \times {\frac{0.001}{\sqrt{3} } } ]

                                             = [3.4125 , 3.4155]

Therefore, 99% confidence interval for this specimen is [3.4125 , 3.4155].

a pile of sand has a weight of 90kg The sand is put into a small bag, a medium bag and a large bag in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 7 Wor
just olya [345]
Hi there!

To split 90 kilos in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 7 we must first realise that we have a total of 2 + 3 + 7 = 12 parts, in which we must split the total 90 kilos.

12 parts equal 90 kilo, and therefore
1 part equals 90 / 12 = 7.5 kilos.

1 part equals 90 / 12 = 7.5 kilos, and therefore
2 parts equal 7.5 × 2 = 15 kilos.

1 part equals 90 / 12 = 7.5 kilos, and therefore
3 parts equal 7.5 × 3 = 22.5 kilos.

1 part equals 90 / 12 = 7.5 kilos, and therefore
7 parts equal 7.5 × 7 = 52.5 kilos.

Hence, 90 kilos in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 7
gives 15 kg, 22.5 kg and 52.5 kg.

~ Hope this helps you!
