Complete parts a through c for the given function.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

a. The critcal points are at

$x=0,-5,3$

b. Then, $x = -5$ is a maximum and $x=3$ is a minimum

c. The absolute minimum is at $x = 3$ and the absolute maximum is at $x = -5.$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Remember that you need to find the points where

$f'(x)=0$

Therefore you have to solve this equation.

$20x^4 + 40x^3 - 300x^2 = 0$

From that equation you can factor out $20x^2$ and you would get

$20x^2 ( x^2 +2x - 15) = 0$

And from that you would have $20x^2 = 0$ , so $x = 0$ .

And you would also have $x^2 +2x-15 = 0$ .

You can factor that equation as $x^2 +2x -15 = (x+5)(x-3) = 0$

Therefore $x=-5 , x=3$ .

So the critcal points are at

$x=0,-5,3$

b.

Remember that a function has a maximum at a critical point if the second derivative at that point is negative. Since

$f''(x) = 80x^3 + 120x^2 -600x\\f''(-5) = 80(-5)^3 + 120(-5)^2 -600(-5) = -4000 < 0\\\\f''(3) = 80(3)^3 + 120(3)^2 -600(3) = 1440 > 0 \\$

Then, $x = -5$ is a maximum and $x=3$ is a minimum

c.

The absolute minimum is at $x = 3$ and the absolute maximum is at $x = -5.$

Answer:

The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 2229.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.005 = 0.995$ , so $z = 2.575$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval

This is n when $M = 0.06, \sigma = 1.1$

$0.06 = 2.575*\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.06\sqrt{n} = 2.575*1.1$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*1.1}{0.06}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.575*1.1}{0.06})^{2}$

$n = 2228.6$

Rounding up

The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 2229.

Solve the following system of equations by the substitution method.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

5x=y+6 --------- equ 1

2x-3y=4 -------- equ 2

5x - 6 = y

y = 5x - 6

substitute in equ 2

2x-3(5x - 6) =4

2x - 3*5x + 3*6 = 4

2x - 15x + 18 = 4

- 13x = 4 - 18

-13x = -14

x = -14/-13

x = 14/13

substitute in equ 1

5*14/13 = y+6

70/13 - 6 = y

y = ( 70 - 78)/13

y = -8/13

Find the equation of the line containing the point (3, 3) and parallel to the line

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope

only the constant changes

y = 2x + b

To find "b"

Plug in point (3, 3)

3 = 2(3) + b

3 = 6 + b

Subtract 6 from both sides

-3 = b

The equation for the parallel line is

y = 2x - 3
