<span>The function can only change from increasing to decreasing, and visa-versa at those points where the slope of the function is 0. And the slope of the function is determined by the first derivative of the function. So let's calculate the first derivative. f(t) = (t^3 + 3t^2)^3 f'(t) = d/dt[ (t^3 + 3t^2)^3 ] f'(t) = 3(t^3 + 3t^2)^2 * d/dt[ t^3 + 3t^2 ] f'(t) = 3(d/dt[ t^3 ] + 3 * d/dt[ t^2 ])(t^3 + 3t^2)^2 f'(t) = 3(3t^2 + 3 * 2t)(t^3 + 3t^2)^2 f'(t) = 3(3t^2 + 6t)(t^3 + 3t^2)^2 Simplify f'(t) = 3(3t^2 + 6t)(t^3 + 3t^2)^2 f'(t) = 3 * 3t(t + 2)(t^3 + 3t^2)^2 f'(t) = 9t(t + 2)(t^2(t + 3))^2 f'(t) = 9t(t + 2)t^4(t + 3)^2 f'(t) = 9t^5(t + 2)(t + 3)^2 And looking at the function, it becomes obvious that the roots (or inflection points) are at t = 0, t = -2, and t = -3. Now the only places where f(t) can switch directions is at those 3 inflection points. And at exactly those inflection points the curve is neither increasing, nor decreasing. If the slope of the function is positive, then its value is increasing, and if the slope is negative, then the function is decreasing. So all we need to do is calculate the value of the first derivative for any value between each inflection point plus one value smaller than the smallest inflection point and another value higher than the highest inflection point. Range from [-infinity, -3) f'(-4) = 18432 Since the value is positive, the function is increasing from [-infinity, -3) Range from (-3, -2) f'(-2.5) = 30.51758 Since the value is positive, the function is increasing from (-3, -2) Range from (-2, 0) f(-1) = -36 Since the value is negative, the function is decreasing from (-2, 0) Range from (0, infinity) f(1) = 64 Since the value is positive, the function is increasing from (0, +infinity) To summarize: increasing from [-infinity, -3) increasing from (-3,-2) decreasing from (-2,0) increasing from (0,infinity]</span>

Consider a refrigerator that consumes 320 W of elec- tric power when it is running. If the refrigerator runs only one quarter of
irinina [24]

Answer: The refrigerator cost in this month is $4.5 approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of watt of electric power = 320 W

Number of days = 30

Unit cost of electricity = $0.13/Kwh

Hold factor = \dfrac{1}{4}

Number of hours in a month = 24

So, the refrigerator cost in this month would be

0.13\times 0.32\times \dfrac{1}{4}\times 30\times 24\\\\=\$7.488

Hence, the refrigerator cost in this month is $4.5 approximately.

Answer:

parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope of each line

Line 1   (5-2)/(-4-2) = 3/-6 =-1/2

Line 2  (-4--9)/(-6-4)= 5/-10 = -1/2

The freezing point of methanol is -97.6. What is the freezing point of methanol in Fahrenheit
motikmotik

Answer:

-143.68°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion Formula: F = 1.8C + 32

Simply plug in <em>c</em> as -97.6:

F = 1.8(-97.6) + 32

F = -175.68 + 32

F = -143.68
