Answer:
The answer is D. F(x) =2-X²
Start by taking the information we know, and write equations to represent the realationships:
1) "1/8 lbs less flour to make bread than to make cookies"
2) "1/4 lb more flour to make cookies than to make brownies:
3) "she used 1/2 lb of flour ro make bread"
From here you can solve for
using back substitution.
Start with #47. To find the critical values, you must differentiate this function. x times (4-x)^3 is a product, so use the product rule. The derivative comes out to f '(x) = x*3*(4-x)^2*(-1) + (4-x)^3*1 = (4-x)^2 [-3x + 4-x]
Factoring this, f '(x) = (4-x)^2 [-3x+4-x]
Set this derivative equal to zero (0) and solve for the "critical values," which are the roots of f '(x) = (4-x)^2 [-3x+4-x]. (4-x)^2=0 produces the "cv" x=4.
[-3x+ (4-x)] = 0 produces the "cv" x=1. Thus, the "cv" are {4,1}.
Evaluate the given function at x: {4,1}. For example, if x=1, f(1)=(1)(4-1)^3, or 2^3, or 8. Thus, one of the extreme values is (1,8).

Answer:
558
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p represent the student population at Edison Jr High. Then we know ...
(4/9)p = 248 . . . . . 248 students is 4/9 of the student population
p = 248(9/4) = 558 . . . multiply the equation by 9/4
558 students attend Edison Jr. High.
