you and your friend want to meet up to play fortnite on February 1st what is the probability that the date falls on a Wednesday
2 answers:
the month of February has 28 days, one week has 7 days, so any day of the week can only occur 28/7 = 4 times on that month, so the chances of getting a Wednesday, namely the favorable outcomes is 4, 4 Wednesdays on the 28 days month.
now, the Wednesdays can be on any date along those 28 days, so the 28 days will be the sample space

(a) f is increasing at
.
(b) f is decreasing at
.
(c) f is concave up at
(d) f is concave down at
Explanations:
(a) f is increasing when the derivative is positive. So, we find values of x such that the derivative is positive. Note that
So,
The zeroes of (x - 2)(x + 2) are 2 and -2. So we can obtain sign of (x - 2)(x + 2) by considering the following possible values of x:
-->> x < -2
-->> -2 < x < 2
--->> x > 2
If x < -2, then (x - 2) and (x + 2) are both negative. Thus, (x - 2)(x + 2) > 0.
If -2 < x < 2, then x + 2 is positive but x - 2 is negative. So, (x - 2)(x + 2) < 0.
If x > 2, then (x - 2) and (x + 2) are both positive. Thus, (x - 2)(x + 2) > 0.
So, (x - 2)(x + 2) is positive when x < -2 or x > 2. Since
Thus, f'(x) > 0 only when x < -2 or x > 2. Hence f is increasing at.
(b) f is decreasing only when the derivative of f is negative. Since
Using the similar computation in (a),
Based on the computation in (a), (x - 2)(x + 2) < 0 only when -2 < x < 2.
Thus, f'(x) < 0 if and only if -2 < x < 2. Hence f is decreasing at (-2, 2)
(c) f is concave up if and only if the second derivative of f is positive. Note that
Since,
Therefore, f is concave up at.
(d) Note that f is concave down if and only if the second derivative of f is negative. Since,
Using the similar computation in (c),
Therefore, f is concave down at.

Therefore, f is concave down at
