25 cakes can be completely decorated using 4 gallons of icing.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given:

4 gallons of icing

16 cups =1 gallon

No. of icing cups = 4\times16 cups

       =64 cups

No. of cups required to decorate and frost a cake= 4% of total no. of icing cups

          = \frac{(4\times64)}{100}

          = 2.56

2.56 cups of icing is required to decorate each cake.

Maximum no. of cakes decorated = \frac{ (64\times1)}{2.56}

                    = 25

25 cakes can be completely decorated using 4 gallons of icing.

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

We set f''(x) = 0

f''(x) =12x+6 =0\\\\x=-\frac{1}{2}

Analyzing concavity, we get

\left\begin{array}{cccc}Interval&x-value&f''(x)\\(-\infty,-1/2)&-2&-18\\(-1/2,\infty)&0&6\\\end{array}\right

The function is concave upward on (-1/2,\infty) because the f''(x) > 0 and concave downward on (-\infty,-1/2) because the f''(x) < 0.

f(x) is concave down before x = -\frac{1}{2}, concave up after it. So f(x) has an inflection point at x = -\frac{1}{2}.

15 points for someone who can answer &amp; explain this to me thanks
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{9}{a^2+9a+20} , \frac{7a}{a^2+11a+28}

Factor the denominators of both fractions

\frac{9}{(a+4)(a+5)} , \frac{7a}{(a+4)(a+7)}

The lowest common denominator of both fractions is (a + 4)(a + 5)(a + 7)

Multiply numerator/denominator of first fraction by (a + 7)

Multiply numerator/denominator of second fraction by (a + 5 )

\frac{9(a+7)}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)} , \frac{7a(a+5)}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)} , then

\frac{9a+63}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)} , \frac{7a^2+35a}{(a+4)(a+5)(a+7)}
