The mosquito population is a function of rainfall, and can be approximated by the formula N(x)=−x3+45x2+1000 where x is the numb

er of inches of rainfall. Find the values of x (if any) so that the population will be a maximum? Note that x is non-negative.

Answer:

Therefore the population will be maximum when x=30 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, the mosquito population is a function of rainfall and can be approximated by the formula

N(x)= -x^3+45x^2+1000

where x is the number of inches of rainfall.

N(x)= -x^3+45x^2+1000

Differentiating with respect to x

N'(x)= -3x^2+90x

Again differentiating with respect to x

N''(x)=-6x+90

Now we set N'(x)=0

-3x^2+90x=0

\Rightarrow -3x(x-30)=0

\Rightarrow x=0,30

N''(0)=-6.0+90=90>0

N''(30)=-6.30+90=-90

Since at x=30, N''(x)<0, So at x=30, N(x) has maximum value.

Therefore the population will be maximum when x=30 inches.

In parallelogram QRST QS RT Is QRST a rectangle ?
fomenos

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the QRST is a parallelogram and the diagonals QS and RT are congruent.

According to the property of parallelogram if the length of diagonals are same, then the parallelogram is rectangle. We can also prove it.

Let QRST be an parallelogram and QS=RT.

In triangles QRT and RQS.

RT=QS         (Diagonals)

QR=QR         (Common side)

QT=RS         (Opposite sides of the parallelogram are same)

So by SSS rule of congruence, triangle QRT and triangle RQS are congruent.

By CPCT,

\angle R=\angle Q

Since the sum of two consecutive angles of a parallelogram is 180 degree.

\angle R+\angle Q=180

2\angle R=180

\angle R=90

Therefore the measure of angle R and angle Q are 90 degree.

Similarly in triangle QST and RTS,

RT=QS         (Diagonals)

ST=ST         (Common side)

QT=RS         (Opposite sides of the parallelogram are same)

So by SSS rule of congruence, triangle QST and RTS are congruent.

By CPCT,

\angle S=\angle T

Since the sum of two consecutive angles of a parallelogram is 180 degree.

Therefore the measure of angle S and angle T are 90 degree.

Since the measure of all interior angles of QRST are 90 degree, therefore the parallelogram QRST  is a rectangle.

Verify if f and g are inverse functions.
Andrej [43]
They are not, because inverse means multiply by -1, therefore, there should be a positive sign in front of 2 and a negative in front of x for G(x) = x - 2

Kia purchased 3 pounds of grapes and spent $11.63 on other items. She spent a total of $20. She used the following steps to find
Maurinko [17]
3x + 11.63 = 20
3x + 11.63 - 11.63 = 20 - 11.63
3x = 8.37

by subtracting the 11.63 from both sides, this tells us how much the grapes cost....not per lb., but for the total of all the grapes.
