The length of eastern continental trail is 5400 miles and length of erie canal trail is 360 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Combined length of both trails = 5760 miles

Let,

x be the length of eatern continental trail.

y be the length of Erie canal trail.

According to given statement;

x+y=5760 Eqn 1

x = 15y Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$15y+y=5760\\16y=5760$

Dividing both sides by 16

$\frac{16y}{16}=\frac{5760}{16}\\y=360\\$

Putting y=360 in Eqn 2

$x=15(360)\\x=5400$

The length of eastern continental trail is 5400 miles and length of erie canal trail is 360 miles.

The area of the ground floor after it has been reduced to the nearest tenth is 10,681,800 square foot.

<h3>What is the area of the ground floor?</h3>

In order to determine the area of the ground floor after it has been reduced, the area of the floor has to reduced by 6.3%.

Area that was reduced = 6.3% x 11,400,000 = 718,200

New area = 11,400,000 - 718,200 = 10,681,800 square foot

Here we will study the function f (x) = e ^ x sin (x), where x ∈ [0, 2π]. a) Determine where the function is decreasing and incr

Semmy [17]

fff

$f(x) = e^x sin (x)$

To find increasing and decreasing intervals we take derivative

$f'(x) = e^xsin(x)+e^x(cosx)= e^x(sinx+cosx)$

Now we set the derivative =0 and solve for x

$e^x(sinx+cosx)=0$

sinx + cosx =0

divide whole equation by cos x

$\frac{sinx}{cosx} + \frac{cosx}{cosx} =0$

tanx +1 =0

tanx = 1

$x=\frac{3\pi }{4}$ and $x=\frac{7\pi}{4}$

Now we pick a number between 0 to $\frac{3\pi }{4}$

Lets pick $\frac{\pi }{2}$

Plug it into the derivative

$f'(x) =e^{\frac{\pi }{2}}(sin(\frac{\pi}{2})+cos(\frac{\pi }{2}))$

= 4.810 is positive

So the graph of f(x) is increasing on the interval [0, $x=\frac{3\pi }{4}$ )

Now we pick a number between $\frac{7\pi}{4}$ to 2pi

Lets pick $\frac{11\pi}{6}$

Plug it into the derivative

$f'(x) =e^{\frac{11\pi}{6}}(sin(\frac{11\pi}{6})+cos(\frac{11\pi }{6}))$

= 116 is positive

So the graph of f(x) is increasing on the interval $(\frac{7\pi }{4}, 2\pi)$

Increasing interval is $(0,\frac{3\pi }{4}) U (\frac{7\pi }{4}, 2\pi)$

Decreasing interval is $(\frac{3\pi}{4}, \frac{7\pi}{4})$

(b)

The graph of f(x) increases and reaches a local maximum at $x=\frac{3\pi}{4}$

The graph of f(x) decreases and reaches a local minimum at $x=\frac{7\pi}{4}$

(c)

f(0) = 0

$f(2\pi)=0$

$f(\frac{3\pi }{4})=7.46$

$f(\frac{7\pi}{4})=-172.64$

Here global maximum at $x=\frac{3\pi}{4}$

Here global minimum at $x=\frac{7\pi}{4}$
