Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

5, 10, 0

Discussion:

Let "f" be the first number. Then the questions tells us that

f + 2f  + (f-5) = 15           =>

f + 2f + f - 5 = 15            => add 5 to both sides

4f = 5+ 15 = 20              => divide both sides by 4

f = 20/4 = 5

The numbers as

f:        5

2f:     10

(f-5):  0

Thank you,

MrB

Find the critical numbers of the function. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answer does not exist, enter DNE
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

0, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is:

g(y) = \frac{y-5}{y^2-3y+15}

According to the quotient rule:

d(\frac{f(y)}{h(y)})  = \frac{f(y)*h'(y)-h(y)*f'(y)}{h^2(y)}

Applying the quotient rule:

g(y) = \frac{y-5}{y^2-3y+15}\\g'(y)=\frac{(y-5)*(2y-3)-(y^2-3y+15)*(1)}{(y^2-3y+15)^2}

The values for which g'(y) are zero are the critical points:

g'(y)=0=\frac{(y-5)*(2y-3)-(y^2-3y+15)*(1)}{(y^2-3y+15)^2}\\(y-5)*(2y-3)-(y^2-3y+15)=0\\2y^2-3y-10y+15-y^2+3y-15\\y^2-10y=0\\y=\frac{10\pm \sqrt 100}{2}\\y_1=\frac{10-10}{2}= 0\\y_2=\frac{10+10}{2}=10

The critical values are y = 0 and y = 10.
