Answer:

250 nickles

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickles and dimes are coins with different currency values. One nickel(N) is equal to 5 cents while one dime(D) is equal to 10 cents. The ratio of nickel:dime is 5:7, to put into the equation it will be:

N/D= 5/7

7N=5D ---> 1st equation

There are 350 dimes, the equation will be:

D=350 ----> 2nd equation

We can find out the number of nickels by substitute the 2nd equation into the first. The calculation will be

7N=5D

N= 5D/7

N=5(350)/7

N= 250

Consider the function g(x) = (x-e)^3e^-(x-e). Find all critical points and points of inflection (x, g(x)) of the function g.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The answer is " $cirtical\ points \ (x,g(x))\equiv (e,0),(e+3,\frac{27}{e^3})$ "

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$g(x) = (x-e)^3e^{-(x-e)}$

Find critical points:

$g(x) = (x-e)^3e^{(e-x)}$

differentiate the value with respect of x:

$\to g'(x)= (x-e)^3 \frac{d}{dx}e^{e-r} +e^{e-r} \frac{d}{dx}(x-e)^3=(x-e)^2 e^{(e-x)} [-x+e+3]$

critical points $g'(x)=0$

$\to (x-e)^2 e^{(e-x)} [e+3-x]=0\\\\\to e^{(e-x)}\neq 0 \\\\\to (x-e)^2=0\\\\ \to [e+3-x]=0\\\\\to x=e\\\\\to x=e+3\\\\\to x= e,e+3$

So,

The critical points of $(x,g(x))\equiv (e,0),(e+3,\frac{27}{e^3})$
