It’s 255 because you multiply 75 times 340 then divided by 100 then get 255

75% of 340 is 85 so 85 laptops were sold at Best Bargin

If Juli needs 20 servings, she will need 12 * 20/8, or 30, ounces of cheese. This equates to 1.875 pounds of cheese.

Consider the equation below. (If you need to use -[infinity] or [infinity], enter -INFINITY or INFINITY.)f(x) = 2x3 + 3x2 − 180x

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

(a) The function is increasing $\left(-\infty, -6\right) \cup \left(5, \infty\right)$ and decreasing $\left(-6, 5\right)$

(b) The local minimum is x = 5 and the maximum is x = -6

(c) The inflection point is $x = -\frac{1}{2}$

(d) The function is concave upward on $\left(- \frac{1}{2}, \infty\right)$ and concave downward on $\left(-\infty, - \frac{1}{2}\right)$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To find the intervals where $f(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 -180x$ is increasing or decreasing you must:

1. Differentiate the function

$\frac{d}{dx}f(x) =\frac{d}{dx}(2x^3 + 3x^2 -180x) \\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(2x^3\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(3x^2\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(180x\right)\\\\f'(x) =6x^2+6x-180$

2. Now we want to find the intervals where f'(x) is positive or negative. This is done using critical points, which are the points where f'(x) is either 0 or undefined.

$f'(x) =6x^2+6x-180 =0\\\\6x^2+6x-180 = 6\left(x-5\right)\left(x+6\right)=0\\\\x=5,\:x=-6$

These points divide the number line into three intervals:

$(-\infty,-6)$ , $(-6,5)$ , and $(5, \infty)$

Evaluate f'(x) at each interval to see if it's positive or negative on that interval.

$\left\begin{array}{cccc}Interval&x-value&f'(x)&Verdict\\(-\infty,-6)&-7&72&Increasing\\(-6,5)&0&-180&Decreasing\\(5, \infty)&6&72&Increasing\end{array}\right$

Therefore f(x) is increasing $\left(-\infty, -6\right) \cup \left(5, \infty\right)$ and decreasing $\left(-6, 5\right)$

(b) Now that we know the intervals where f(x) increases or decreases, we can find its extremum points. An extremum point would be a point where f(x) is defined and f'(x) changes signs.

We know that:

f(x) increases before x = -6, decreases after it, and is defined at x = -6. So f(x) has a relative maximum point at x = -6.

f(x) decreases before x = 5, increases after it, and is defined at x = 5. So f(x) has a relative minimum point at x = 5.

(c)-(d) An Inflection Point is where a curve changes from Concave upward to Concave downward (or vice versa).

Concave upward is when the slope increases and concave downward is when the slope decreases.

To find the inflection points of f(x), we need to use the f''(x)

$f''(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(6x^2+6x-180\right)\\\\\mathrm{Apply\:the\:Sum/Difference\:Rule}:\quad \left(f\pm g\right)'=f\:'\pm g'\\\\f''(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(6x^2\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(6x\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(180\right)\\\\f''(x) =12x+6$
