N.b., this is copied from an answer I wrote for someone else.

Thinking about the graph of y, the rate of change is zero whenever there is an extremum.

First, differentiate y.

y'=6x^2+6x-12

Next, find the zeros of y' by factoring.

6(x^2+x-2)=0 \\ x = -2, x = 1

Now, we substitute these x-values into the original equation to find the coordinates. 

(-2,21), (1,-6)

A giant tortoise can travel 0.11 miles in 1 hour. At this rate, how long would it take the tortoise to travel 3 miles?
lakkis [162]

Answer:

about 27.27 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it can travel 0.11 miles in 1 hour, we need to divide 3 miles by 0.11 miles to get the number of hours it would take to travel 3 miles. 3/0.11 is 27.27 repeating.

Hope this helps!

jasenka [17]

Answer:

12:50 PM.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Craig’s school has 4 lessons in the morning and lesson 1 starts at 8:35. Each lesson is 60 minutes long. There is a break of 15 minutes between lesson 2 and 3.

We can see that lesson 1 will end at 9:35 AM and second lesson will end at 10:35 AM.

We have been also given that there is a break for 15 minutes between lesson 2 and 3. So third lesson will start at 10:50 AM as lunch break will end at 10:50 AM.

Third lesson will end 60 minutes after 10:50 AM that is 11:50 AM and fourth lesson will end 60 minutes after 11:50 AM that is 12:50 PM.

Therefore, 4th lesson will end at 12:50 PM.

Steps: Cross multiply to get 15x and 540. Divide both numbers by 15, then you found what x equals, which is the answer.
