\bf f(x)=\cfrac{x}{x^2+5}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{df}{dx}=\cfrac{(x^2+5)-2x^2}{(x^2+5)^2}\implies \cfrac{df}{dx}=\cfrac{5-x^2}{(x^2+5)^2}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
using\ the\\
quotient\ rule
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
0=\cfrac{5-x^2}{(x^2+5)^2}\implies 0=5-x^2\implies x^2=5\implies x=\pm\sqrt{5}
\\\\\\
f(\sqrt{5})\approx 0.2236\impliedby \textit{only maximum, thus absolute maximum}
\\\\\\
f(-\sqrt{5})\approx -0.2236\impliedby \textit{only minimum, thus absolute minimum}

we also get critical points when the denominator is 0, namely (x²+5)² = 0

however, this denominator, doesn't give us any critical points

critical points when the denominator is 0, are usually asymptotic or "cusps", where the derivative is not continuous, but has an extrema.

Solve for R using cross multiplication
topjm [15]

R/ r+ 15 = 3/8

Cross multiply: top of one side multiplied by bottom of other side:

R x 8 = 3 x r+ 15

Simplify:

8r = 3r + 45

Subtract 3r from both sides:

5r = 45

Divide both sides by 5:

R = 9

The diameter of a sphere is measured to be 4.17 in.
gtnhenbr [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the radius of the sphere we must convert the inches to centimeters

Using the conversation

1 inch = 2.54 cm

If 1 inch = 2.54 cm

4.17 inch = 2.54 × 4.17 = 10.59 cm

<h2>a).</h2>

We can find the radius using the formula

radius =  \frac{diameter}{2}

From the question

diameter = 10.59 cm

So we have

radius =  \frac{10.59}{2}

<h3>radius = 5.30 cm</h3>

<h2>b).</h2>

Surface area of a sphere= 4πr²

where

r is the radius

Surface area = 4(5.30)²π

= 112.36π

= 352.989

We have the answer as

<h3>Surface area = 353 cm²</h3>

<h2>c).</h2>

Volume of a sphere is given by

\frac{4}{3} \pi  {r}^{3}

r = 5.30

The volume of the sphere is

\frac{4}{3} ( {5.30})^{3} \pi

= 623.61451

We have the answer as

<h2>Volume = 623.6 cm³</h2>

Hope this helps you
