Answer:

New Cost of item is $\$ 21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Original Cost of item = $\$ 42$

Item was marked down by $50\%$

To Calculate Cost after $50\%$ marked down we need to multiply original cost by 50 and then divide by hundred.

Cost after marked down = $\frac{42 \times 50}{100}= \$21$

Now New cost of the item is calculated by Subtracting Cost after $50\%$ marked down by Original Cost of item.

New cost of the item = $\$ 42 - \$ 21 = \$21$

Determine the open intervals on which the graph of f(x) = x - 4cos x is concave upward or concave downward

bazaltina [42]

The graph of the function $f(x)$ is

concave upward, when $f''(x)>0;$
concave downward, when $f''(x)$

Find $f''(x):$

$f'(x)=(x-4\cos x)'=1+4\sin x;$

$f''(x)=4\cos x.$

Now:

1. when $4\cos x>0,$ the graph of the function is concave upward and this is for

$x\in \left(-\dfrac{\pi}{2}+2\pi k,\dfrac{\pi}{2}+2\pi k\right), \text{ where } k\in Z.$

2. when $4\cos x$ the graph of the function is concave downward and this is for

$x\in \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}+2\pi k,\dfrac{3\pi}{2}+2\pi k\right), \text{ where } k\in Z.$

It would be 45 cups because each number is multiplied by 5
2 x 5 = 10
3 x 5 = 15
4 x 5 = 20
9 x 5 = 45
