Answer:
a) The function is constantly increasing and is never decreasing
b) There is no local maximum or local minimum.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the intervals of increasing and decreasing, we can start by finding the answers to part b, which is to find the local maximums and minimums. We do this by taking the derivatives of the equation.
f(x) = ln(x^4 + 27)
f'(x) = 1/(x^2 + 27)
Now we take the derivative and solve for zero to find the local max and mins.
f'(x) = 1/(x^2 + 27)
0 = 1/(x^2 + 27)
Since this function can never be equal to one, we know that there are no local maximums or minimums. This also lets us know that this function will constantly be increasing.
Let's start with what we know:
Smaller canvas:
Length (

) = 3ft
Width (

) = 5ft
Larger canvas:
Length (

) = ?
Width (

) = 10ft
Since these are similar rectangles, we can cross-multiply to calculate the missing length. Here's that formula:

So let's plug it all in from above:

Now we cross multiply by multiplying the top-left by the bottom-right and vice versa:


Now divide each side by 5 to isolate


The 5s on the right cancel out, leaving us with:

So the length of the larger canvas is
6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since d is an decimal, the higher the power of d, the smaller the value.
8,-4.
It seems to be going by a negative half, because 64 x 2 = 128, 16 x 2= 32, etc.
