The answer is 2.5 just set it up and cross multiply then divide
Step-by-step explanation:
Take the first derivative


Set the derivative equal to 0.




or

For any number less than -1, the derivative function will have a Positve number thus a Positve slope for f(x).
For any number, between -1 and 1, the derivative slope will have a negative , thus a negative slope.
Since we are going to Positve to negative slope, we have a local max at x=-1
Plug in -1 for x into the original function

So the local max is 2 and occurs at x=-1,
For any number greater than 1, we have a Positve number for the derivative function we have a Positve slope.
Since we are going to decreasing to increasing, we have minimum at x=1,
Plug in 1 for x into original function


So the local min occurs at -2, at x=1
Answer: A)There are 5 nonfiction books for every 9 fiction books in the library.
Step-by-step explanation: If you do the math you realize that there are clearly less nonfiction books than fiction books.
105/5=21 and after 21*9 lines up and to check your work than
5*21=105 and 9*21=189 it is not B because the smaller number 105 is in front of the ratio 105:189 and 5:9
If you plot them you will see that the intersect each other in two different points.
The solution of a system of equations is the set of points of intersection of the graphs of the equations.
The answer is D.
