Answer:

$61.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so this is the closest answer I could get because 61.17*0.85=51.9945, which is really close to $52.So the answer is really close to $61.17.

6x + 9y = -15

tester [92]

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation
You can divide 6x,9y and -15 by 3
6x/3=2x
9y/3=3y
-15/3=(-5)
Combine them to get the factored form of 6x+9y-15:
3(2x+3y-5)

Consider the following. f(x) = x5 − x3 + 6, −1 ≤ x ≤ 1 (a) Use a graph to find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the fu

kykrilka [37]

ANSWER

See below

EXPLANATION

Part a)

The given function is

$f(x) = {x}^{5} - {x}^{3} + 6$

From the graph, we can observe that, the absolute maximum occurs at (-0.7746,6.1859) and the absolute minimum occurs at (0.7746,5.8141).

b) Using calculus, we find the first derivative of the given function.

$f'(x) = 5 {x}^{4} - 3 {x}^{2}$

At turning point f'(x)=0.

$5 {x}^{4} - 3 {x}^{2} = 0$

This implies that,

${x}^{2} (5 {x}^{2} - 3) = 0$

${x}^{2} = 0 \: or \: 5 {x}^{2} - 3 = 0$

$x = - \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} \: or \: x = 0 \: \: or \: x =\frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5}$

We plug this values into the original function to obtain the y-values of the turning points

$( - \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} , \frac{1}{125} ( 6 \sqrt{15} +750)) \:and \: (0, - 6) \: and\: ( \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} , \frac{1}{125} ( - 6 \sqrt{15} +750))$
