Answer:

The difference between the maximum and minimum is

\left(\displaystyle\frac{5}{63}\right)^2\left(\displaystyle\frac{625}{63}\right)^{250}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since p = 10-q, we can replace p in the expression and we get a single-variable function

f(q)=(10-q)^2q^{250}

Taking the derivative with respect to q and using the rule for the derivative of a product

f'(q)=-2(10-q)q^{250}+250(10-q)^2q^{249}

Critical point (where f'(q)=0)

Assuming q≠ 0 and  q≠ 10

f'(q)=0\Rightarrow -2(10-q)q^{250}+250(10-q)^2q^{249}=0\Rightarrow\\\\\Rightarrow 250(10-q)=2q\Rightarrow q=\displaystyle\frac{625}{63}

To check this is maximum, we take the second derivative

f''(q)=63252q^{250}-1255000q^{249}+6225000q^{248}

and  

f''(625/63) < 0

so q=625/63 is a maximum. For this value of q we get p=5/63

The maximum value of

p^2q^{250}

is

\left(\displaystyle\frac{5}{63}\right)^2\left(\displaystyle\frac{625}{63}\right)^{250}

The minimum is 0, which is obtained when q=0 and p=10 or q=10 and p=0

The difference between the maximum and minimum is then

\left(\displaystyle\frac{5}{63}\right)^2\left(\displaystyle\frac{625}{63}\right)^{250}

Susan has a rectangular fence around her swimming pool. The fence she built was 15 ft long, 10 ft wide and 6ft tall. How many sq
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

300 Square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Susan built a rectangular fence around her swimming pool.

Length=15ft

Width(or Breadth)=10ft

Height=6ft

To solve this, picture a cuboid with the top and bottom open, that is the key to finding the Surface Area of the Fence.

Surface Area of a Cuboid= 2(LW+LH+WH)

However since the top and bottom are open, the Surface Area becomes

Surface Area of the fence= 2(LW+WH)

                                       =2((15X6)+(10X6)

                                       =2(90+60)=2 X 150 =300

Susan uses 300 Square feet to build her fence.

Write the equation of the line that passes through (5.-9) and (2.5).
Kipish [7]

Answer:

y = -14/3x + 43/3

Step-by-step explanation:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

5 - (-9) / 2 - 5

14 / -3

- 14/3

y = -14/3x + b

5 = -14/3(2) + b

5 = -28/3 + b

43/3 = b

y = -14/3x + 43/3

The value of a house decreases at a steady rate of 20% each year. What is the total percentage loss (to the nearest integer) in
Westkost [7]

Answer: The total percentage loss would be 67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Rate of decline each year = 20%

Number of years = 5

We need to find the total percentage loss in value of the house at the end of 5 years.

So, Total percentage loss would be

1-(1-\dfrac{r}{100})^5\\\\=1-(1-\dfrac{20}{100})^5\\\\=1-(\dfrac{4}{5})^5\\\\=1-(0.8)^5\\\\=0.67\\\\\approx 67%

Hence, the total percentage loss would be 67%.
