Well, first since i split this up into 3 shapes. Then I multiplied 4x8 which was 32 and since there were two,it would be another 32. Then I multiplied 12x4 which was 48. Then I added 32+32+48 which equaled 112 square feet.

F(x)=9x+5, find f^-1(x).

Answer:

interchange the role of x and y

x=9y+5

x-5=9y

x-5 =y

so,f^-1(x)= x-5

I have calculus problems that I need help with.

a. Note that $f(x)=x^ne^{-2x}$ is continuous for all $x$ . If $f(x)$ attains a maximum at $x=3$ , then $f'(3) = 0$ . Compute the derivative of $f$ .

$f'(x) = nx^{n-1} e^{-2x} - 2x^n e^{-2x}$

Evaluate this at $x=3$ and solve for $n$ .

$n\cdot3^{n-1} e^{-6} - 2\cdot3^n e^{-6} = 0$

$n\cdot3^{n-1} = 2\cdot3^n$

$\dfrac n2 = \dfrac{3^n}{3^{n-1}}$

$\dfrac n2 = 3 \implies \boxed{n=6}$

To ensure that a maximum is reached for this value of $n$ , we need to check the sign of the second derivative at this critical point.

$f(x) = x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f'(x) = 6x^5 e^{-2x} - 2x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(x) = 30x^4 e^{-2x} - 24x^5 e^{-2x} + 4x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(3) = -\dfrac{486}{e^6} < 0$

The second derivative at $x=3$ is negative, which indicate the function is concave downward, which in turn means that $f(3)$ is indeed a (local) maximum.

b. When $n=4$ , we have derivatives

$f(x) = x^4 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f'(x) = 4x^3 e^{-2x} - 2x^4 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(x) = 12x^2 e^{-2x} - 16x^3e^{-2x} + 4x^4e^{-2x}$

Inflection points can occur where the second derivative vanishes.

$12x^2 e^{-2x} - 16x^3 e^{-2x} + 4x^4 e^{-2x} = 0$

$12x^2 - 16x^3 + 4x^4 = 0$

$4x^2 (3 - 4x + x^2) = 0$

$4x^2 (x - 3) (x - 1) = 0$

Then we have three possible inflection points when $x=0$ , $x=1$ , or $x=3$ .

To decide which are actually inflection points, check the sign of $f''$ in each of the intervals $(-\infty,0)$ , $(0, 1)$ , $(1, 3)$ , and $(3,\infty)$ . It's enough to check the sign of any test value of $x$ from each interval.
