Answer:

5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 pieces of fruit in the bowl,  tangerines and 5 clementines.

Assuming that they do not put the fruit back

P (tangerine) = number of tangerines/ total = 4/9

Then John keeps his and there are  8 pieces of fruit in the bowl,  

3 tangerines and 5 clementines.

P (Clementine) = number of clementines/ total = 5/8

P (tangerine, no replacement, Clementine) = P (tangerine) * P (Clementine)

                                                                        = 4/9 * 5/8 =5/18

Answer:

5/18

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find each of their probabilities separately

2. John= # of tangerines/ total # of fruit

3. John = 4/9

4. Pam = # of clementines/ total # of fruit left

5. Pam= 5/8

6. Multiply the two together to get the probability that both pick the fruit they want

7. 4/9 times 5/8

8. 5/18

Find the inflection point of the function of f(x) = x³ -6x² +12x
Wewaii [24]

Points of inflections are zeroes of the second derivative. We have:

f(x)=x^3-6x^2+12x\implies f'(x)=3x^2-12x\implies f''(x)=6x-12

So, the second derivative equals zero if and only if

f''(x)=0\iff 6x-12=0 \iff 6x=12 \iff x=2

So, this is the only point of inflection of this function.
