Answer:

Gars estimated to be present if a random sample of 1,000 fish is collected from the lake are:

260

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given sample there was a total of 200(92+56+52) fish collected from a lake.

Of those, 52 were gar.

52/200 = 0.26 = 26%

i.e. 26% of the total fishes collected were jar

So, if 1000 fish are collected

26% of 1000 = $\dfrac{26}{100}\times 1000$

= 260

i.e. 260 fishes were jar

Hence, gars estimated to be present if a random sample of 1,000 fish is collected from the lake are:

260

There was a total of 200 fish collected and released from the pond...of those, 52 were gar......52/200 = 0.26 = 26%

so if 1000 fish are collected....26% of 1000 = 0.26(1000) = 260 gar <==

What is the maximum number of relative extrema contained in the graph of this function f(x)=3x^3-x^2+4x-2

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The maximum number of turning points in a cubic function is 2.

In this case,

$f(x)=3x^3-x^2+4x-2\implies f'(x)=9x^2-2x+4$

The discriminant is $(-2)^2-4(9)(4)=-140$ , which means the derivative has no real roots. This means there are no critical points and thus no turning points/relative extrema.
