Answer:

x-coordinates of relative extrema = \frac{-1}{2}

x-coordinates of the inflexion points are 0, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=6x^{\frac{1}{3}}+3x^{\frac{4}{3}}

Differentiate with respect to x

f'(x)=6\left ( \frac{1}{3} \right )x^{\frac{-2}{3}}+3\left ( \frac{4}{3} \right )x^{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{2}{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}+4x^{\frac{1}{3}}

f'(x)=0\Rightarrow \frac{2}{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}+4x^{\frac{1}{3}}=0\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1}{2}

Differentiate f'(x) with respect to x

f''(x)=2\left ( \frac{-2}{3} \right )x^{\frac{-5}{3}}+\frac{4}{3}x^{\frac{-2}{3}}=\frac{-4x^{\frac{2}{3}}+4x^{\frac{5}{3}}}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}x^{\frac{5}{3}}}\\f''(x)=0\Rightarrow \frac{-4x^{\frac{2}{3}}+4x^{\frac{5}{3}}}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}x^{\frac{5}{3}}}=0\Rightarrow x=1

At x = \frac{-1}{2},

f''\left ( \frac{-1}{2} \right )=\frac{4\left ( -1+4\left ( \frac{-1}{2} \right ) \right )}{3\left ( \frac{-1}{2} \right )^{\frac{5}{3}}}>0

We know that if f''(a)>0 then x = a is a point of minima.

So, x=\frac{-1}{2} is a point of minima.

For inflexion points:

Inflexion points are the points at which f''(x) = 0 or f''(x) is not defined.

So, x-coordinates of the inflexion points are 0, 1

X/5 -8=4 find the value of x
elena-s [515]

Answer:

x=60

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you meant this: (x/5)-8=4

In which case you would add 8 to both sides to get rid of the 8 on the left (your goal is to get x by itself so you want to move the numbers on the x side to the other side of the equal sign)

(x/5)=12

Then you would multiply 5 on both sides to get rid of the fraction with the 5 on the bottom on the left side.

x=60

There's your answer.

The combined area of two squares is 80 square centimeters. Each side of one square is twice as long as a side of the other squar
o-na [289]

The length of each side of the larger square is 8 cm.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Step 1 ;

  • The combined area of two squares = 80 sq.cm
  • The side of small square = x
  • The side of larger square = 2x

Step 2 :

Area of the square = a^2

Area of small square + area of large square = 80

x^2 + (2x)^2 = 80

x^2 + 4x^2 = 80

5x^2 = 80

x^2 = 80/5

x^2 = 16

x = ±4

Step 3 :

Since length cannot be negative, the value of x= 4

∴ The length of the side of small square = 4cm

The length of the side of larger square = 2x = 8cm
