Answer:

1.78.09

2. 2755.59

Step-by-step explanation:

you go to the whome insurance company for auto insurance the charge $525.00 as a base rate for six months of insurance for your vehicle they offer a 15% discount for safe driver habits and a 10% discount for an excellent credit rating of 5% for a good rating the increase the rate by 5% and 10% respectively for a fair or poor credit rating you have a fair credit rating and qualify for the safe driver discount how much do the insurance cost you per month?

Insurance is more like a protection against any risk associated with vehicles, assets, buildings and lives.

the charge form the insurer is $525 with a 15% discount means

525 * 0.85 = 446.25

or525-(525*15%)

aand increment in rate after 6 months

446.25 * 1.05 = 468.56 or

446.25+446.25+5%

468.56 / 6 =

78.09

2. if the cost of the vehicle is 17000

a discount of 10%b for an excellent credit rating equals

17000*.90

$15300+1.05

16065

therefore per month he is going to pay 16065/6

$2677.5

add answer +78.09=2755.59

Answer:

Concave Up Interval: $(- \infty,\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3} )U(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} , \infty)$

Concave Down Interval: $(\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} )$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Derivative of a Constant is 0.

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Chain Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Second Derivative Test:

Possible Points of Inflection (P.P.I) - Tells us the possible x-values where the graph f(x) may change concavity. Occurs when f"(x) = 0 or undefined
Points of Inflection (P.I) - Actual x-values when the graph f(x) changes concavity
Number Line Test - Helps us determine whether a P.P.I is a P.I

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$f(x)=\frac{3}{1+x^2}$

Step 2: Find 2nd Derivative

1st Derivative [Quotient/Chain/Basic]: $f'(x)=\frac{0(1+x^2)-2x \cdot 3}{(1+x^2)^2}$
Simplify 1st Derivative: $f'(x)=\frac{-6x}{(1+x^2)^2}$
2nd Derivative [Quotient/Chain/Basic]: $f"(x)=\frac{-6(1+x^2)^2-2(1+x^2) \cdot 2x \cdot -6x}{((1+x^2)^2)^2}$
Simplify 2nd Derivative: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3x^2-1)}{(1+x^2)^3}$

Step 3: Find P.P.I

Set f"(x) equal to zero: $0=\frac{6(3x^2-1)}{(1+x^2)^3}$

Case 1: f" is 0

Solve Numerator: $0=6(3x^2-1)$
Divide 6: $0=3x^2-1$
Add 1: $1=3x^2$
Divide 3: $\frac{1}{3} =x^2$
Square root: $\pm \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} =x$
Simplify: $\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} =x$
Rewrite: $x= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Case 2: f" is undefined

Solve Denominator: $0=(1+x^2)^3$
Cube root: $0=1+x^2$
Subtract 1: $-1=x^2$

We don't go into imaginary numbers when dealing with the 2nd Derivative Test, so our P.P.I is $x= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ (x ≈ ±0.57735).

Step 4: Number Line Test

See Attachment.

We plug in the test points into the 2nd Derivative and see if the P.P.I is a P.I.

x = -1

Substitute: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(-1)^2-1)}{(1+(-1)^2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(1)-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Subtract/Add: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{(2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{8}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{12}{8}$
Simplify: $f"(x)=\frac{3}{2}$

This means that the graph f(x) is concave up before $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ .

x = 0

Substitute: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(0)^2-1)}{(1+(0)^2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(0)-1)}{(1+0)^3}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{6(0-1)}{(1+0)^3}$
Subtract/Add: $f"(x)=\frac{6(-1)}{(1)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(-1)}{1}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{-6}{1}$
Divide: $f"(x)=-6$

This means that the graph f(x) is concave down between and .

x = 1

Substitute: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(1)^2-1)}{(1+(1)^2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(1)-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Subtract/Add: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{(2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{8}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{12}{8}$
Simplify: $f"(x)=\frac{3}{2}$

This means that the graph f(x) is concave up after $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ .

Step 5: Identify

Since f"(x) changes concavity from positive to negative at $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ and changes from negative to positive at $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , then we know that the P.P.I's $x= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ are actually P.I's.

Let's find what actual point on f(x) when the concavity changes.

$x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Substitute in P.I into f(x): $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+(\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3} )^2}$
Evaluate Exponents: $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+\frac{1}{3} }$
Add: $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{\frac{4}{3} }$
Divide: $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{9}{4}$

$x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Substitute in P.I into f(x): $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} )^2}$
Evaluate Exponents: $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+\frac{1}{3} }$
Add: $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{\frac{4}{3} }$
Divide: $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{9}{4}$

Step 6: Define Intervals

We know that before f(x) reaches $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , the graph is concave up. We used the 2nd Derivative Test to confirm this.

We know that after f(x) passes $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , the graph is concave up. We used the 2nd Derivative Test to confirm this.

Concave Up Interval: $(- \infty,\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3} )U(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} , \infty)$

We know that after f(x) passes $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , the graph is concave up until $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ . We used the 2nd Derivative Test to confirm this.

Concave Down Interval: $(\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} )$
