Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

1 scarve = 3/4 yards

x = 19 yards

using proportion

x = (19*1)/ 3/4

x = 19*4/3

= 76/3

approximately 25

Applying our power rule gets us our first derivative,

$\rm f'(x)=6\frac13x^{-2/3}+3\cdot\frac43x^{1/3}$

simplifying a little bit,

$\rm f'(x)=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}$

looking for critical points,

$\rm 0=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}$

We can apply more factoring.
I hope this next step isn't too confusing.
We want to factor out the smallest power of x from both terms,
and also the 2 from each.

$0=2x^{-2/3}\left(1+2x\right)$

When you divide x^(-2/3) out of x^(1/3),
it leaves you with x^(3/3) or simply x.

Then apply your Zero-Factor Property,

$\rm 0=2x^{-2/3}\qquad\qquad\qquad 0=(1+2x)$

and solve for x in each case to find your critical points.

Apply your First Derivative Test to further classify these points. You should end up finding that x=-1/2 is an relative extreme value, while x=0 is not.

Let's come back to this,

$\rm f'(x)=2x^{-2/3}+4x^{1/3}$

and take our second derivative.

$\rm f''(x)=-\frac43x^{-5/3}+\frac43x^{-2/3}$

Looking for inflection points,

$\rm 0=-\frac43x^{-5/3}+\frac43x^{-2/3}$

Again, pulling out the smaller power of x, and fractional part,

$\rm 0=-\frac43x^{-5/3}\left(1-x\right)$

And again, apply your Zero-Factor Property, setting each factor to zero and solving for x in each case. You should find that x=0 and x=1 are possible inflection points.

Applying your Second Derivative Test should verify that both points are in fact inflection points, locations where the function changes concavity.

Which one is it? I really need help

Im not 100% sure, but I would say that the answer is A. because the magnet must be strong enough to hold the switch in place, and keep the circuit connected
