Applying our power rule gets us our first derivative,

\rm f'(x)=6\frac13x^{-2/3}+3\cdot\frac43x^{1/3}

simplifying a little bit,

\rm f'(x)=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}

looking for critical points,

\rm 0=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}

We can apply more factoring.
I hope this next step isn't too confusing.
We want to factor out the smallest power of x from both terms,
and also the 2 from each.

0=2x^{-2/3}\left(1+2x\right)

When you divide x^(-2/3) out of x^(1/3),
it leaves you with x^(3/3) or simply x.

Then apply your Zero-Factor Property,

\rm 0=2x^{-2/3}\qquad\qquad\qquad 0=(1+2x)

and solve for x in each case to find your critical points.

Apply your First Derivative Test to further classify these points. You should end up finding that x=-1/2 is an relative extreme value, while x=0 is not.

Let's come back to this,

\rm f'(x)=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}

and take our second derivative.

\rm f''(x)=-\frac43x^{-5/3}+\frac43x^{-2/3}

Looking for inflection points,

\rm 0=-\frac43x^{-5/3}+\frac43x^{-2/3}

Again, pulling out the smaller power of x, and fractional part,

\rm 0=-\frac43x^{-5/3}\left(1-x\right)

And again, apply your Zero-Factor Property, setting each factor to zero and solving for x in each case. You should find that x=0 and x=1 are possible inflection points.

Applying your Second Derivative Test should verify that both points are in fact inflection points, locations where the function changes concavity.

. If 3n + 8 = 44, what is the value of n?​
algol13

Answer:

3n + 8 = 44

Subtract both sides by 8.

3n = 36

Divide both sides by 3.

n = 12.

A man got a 10% increase in his salary. If his new salary is 1,54,000, find his<br>original salary.​
daser333 [38]
The man’s original salary was 100%. when increased by 10% , it becomes 110% which is $154 000.

so,

110% -> 154 000
1% -> $1400
100% -> $1400 x 100
= $140 000

Convert the given function into a logarithmic function: f(x)=36.77e^(-0.72x)
Likurg_2 [28]
F(x) = 36.77e^(-0.72x)
log f(x) = log36.77e^(-0.72x)
log f(x) = log 36.77 + log e^(-0.72x)
log f(x) = 3.6 + (-0.72x)log e
log f(x) = 3.6 - 0.72x
0.72x = 3.6 - log f(x)
x = 5 - 1.39 log f(x)
