There are three things you have to know:

  • A function is convex when its second derivative f''(x)>0
  • A function is concave when it second derivative f''(x)
  • The derivative of a power, x^n, is nx^{n-1}

So, the first derivative is

y'=2ax+b

and the second derivative is

y''=2a

This implies that the second derivative of a parabola is constant, and of course that 2 doesn't change the sign of a.

function in c that takes three decimal numbers as inputs and finds the sum of those inputs and returns the sum
kozerog [31]

The function that takes three decimal numbers as inputs and finds the sum of those inputs and returns the sum has been given below

What is programming?

Program is the set of instructions given to the computer so that the computer can execute those instructions. The act of writing program is called programming.

The program has been shown below

#include<stdio.h>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

double n1, n2, n3;

double s;

printf("Enter first numbers");

scanf(%lf, &n1);

printf("Enter second numbers");

scanf(%lf, &n2);

printf("Enter third numbers");

scanf(%lf, &n3);

s = n1 + n2 + n3;

printf("Sum = %f", s);

return 0;

}

A computer programming team has 13 members. a. How many ways can a group of seven be chosen to work on a project? b. Suppose sev
Julli [10]

Answer:

1716 ;

700 ;

1715 ;

658 ;

1254 ;

792

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Number of members (n) = 13

a. How many ways can a group of seven be chosen to work on a project?

13C7:

Recall :

nCr = n! ÷ (n-r)! r!

13C7 = 13! ÷ (13 - 7)!7!

= 13! ÷ 6! 7!

(13*12*11*10*9*8*7!) ÷ 7! (6*5*4*3*2*1)

1235520 / 720

= 1716

b. Suppose seven team members are women and six are men.

Men = 6 ; women = 7

(i) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain four women and three men?

(7C4) * (6C3)

Using calculator :

7C4 = 35

6C3 = 20

(35 * 20) = 700

(ii) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain at least one man?

13C7 - 7C7

7C7 = only women

13C7 = 1716

7C7 = 1

1716 - 1 = 1715

(iii) How many groups of seven can be chosen that contain at most three women?

(6C4 * 7C3) + (6C5 * 7C2) + (6C6 * 7C1)

Using calculator :

(15 * 35) + (6 * 21) + (1 * 7)

525 + 126 + 7

= 658

c. Suppose two team members refuse to work together on projects. How many groups of seven can be chosen to work on a project?

(First in second out) + (second in first out) + (both out)

13 - 2 = 11

11C6 + 11C6 + 11C7

Using calculator :

462 + 462 + 330

= 1254

d. Suppose two team members insist on either working together or not at all on projects. How many groups of seven can be chosen to work on a project?

Number of ways with both in the group = 11C5

Number of ways with both out of the group = 11C7

11C5 + 11C7

462 + 330

= 792

Laura takes very good care of her vehicles. She owns a blue van and a red truck. Although she bought them both new, she has owne
MrRissso [65]

The age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned  = 29 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given question is INCOMPLETE.

Laura takes very good care of her vehicles. She owns a blue van and a red truck. Although she bought them both new, she has owned the truck for 17 years longer than she has owned the van. If the sum of the ages of the vehicles is 41 years, how old is the van and how old is the truck?

Let us assume the number of years Laura has owned the van = S years

So, according to the question:

The number of years she has owned truck = S + 17 years

Now, Sum of the age of ( Truck + Van)  = 41 years

⇒ (S + 17 years) + (S years)  = 41 years

or, 2 S +  17 = 41

or, 2 S  = 4 1 -1 7 = 24

or, S  = 24/2 = 12 years

or, S  = 12 years

Hence the age of the van owned = 12 years

The age of the truck owned  = S  + 17  = 12 + 17 = 29 years
