Answer:

There are 15 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other) in the same proportion, the rule of three applies as follows:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

Then: x=\frac{c*b}{a}

where a, b and c are known values ​​and x is the value to be calculated.

In this case, the rule of three applies as follows: if 1/20 of a ton is the weight of 1 person, 3/4 of a ton is the weight of how many people?

number of people =\frac{\frac{3}{4} of a ton*1 person }{\frac{1}{20} of a ton}

or, what is the same,

number of people* \frac{1}{20} = \frac{3}{4}

Solving:

number of people= 15

<u><em>There are 15 friends</em></u>

Find all the critical points of h(x) = x^3 − 3x^4 and categorize them as local
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

0 is an inflection point

1/4 is a local maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with you find the first derivative of the function and get that

h'(x) = 3x^2 - 12x^3

to find the critical points you equal the first derivative to 0  and get that

3x^2 - 12x^3 = 0, x =  0,1/4

To find if they are maximums or local minimums you use the second derivative.

h''(x) = 6x-36x^2

since h''(0) = 0 is neither an inflection point, and since h''(1/4) = -3/4 then 1/4 is a maximum.
