A turning point occurs when the velocity is equal to zero, but the acceleration is not equal to zero. 

t(x)=(x+5)^3+7

dt/dx=3(x+5)^2

d2t/dx2=6(x-5)

dt/dx=0 only when x=-5

However, since d2t/dx2(-5)=0, this point is an inflection point, not a turning point.

So there is no turning point for this function.

Now in this problem, it is even easier than the above to show that there is no turning point.  A turning point by definition is when the derivative or velocity changes sign.  Since in this case v=3(x+5)^2, for any value of x, v≥0, and thus never becomes negative, so it never changes from a positive to negative velocity because velocity in this instance is a squared function.

Factor the expression completely.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Factoring the expression xy^4+x^4y^4 completely we get \mathbf{xy^4(x+1)(x^2-x+1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor the expression xy^4+x^4y^4 completely

We need to find common terms in the expression.

Looking at the expression, we get xy^4 is common in both terms, so we can write:

xy^4+x^4y^4\\=xy^4(1+x^3)

So, taking out the common expression we get: xy^4(1+x^3)

Now, we can factor the term (1+x^3) or we can write (x^3+1) by using formula:

a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)

So, we get:

xy^4(1+x^3)\\=xy^4(x^3+1)\\Applying\:the\:formula\;of\:a^3+b^3\\=xy^4(x+1)(x^2-x+1)

Therefor factoring the expression xy^4+x^4y^4 completely we get \mathbf{xy^4(x+1)(x^2-x+1)}

Jim will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $ 59 and costs an addi
AveGali [126]

Answer:This problem is about linear equations. We assume Dale drive X miles, and the total cost is $Y, then we can get:

Plan I: Y=38+0.11X

Plan II: Y=49+0.07X

When both plans cost the same, 38+0.11X=49+0.07X. We will get X = 275miles, and Y=$68.25
