Answer:

We can find if a critical point is a local minimum or maximum by looking at the second derivatives.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take the first derivative, you will find the slope at the given point, which if it is a minimum or a maximum will be 0.

Then we take the second derivative. If that number is a positive number, then we have a local minimum. If it is a negative number, then it is a local maximum.

Answer:

1,3,5

Step-by-step explanation:

81 is a perfect square so it can be written as an integer

11.8 is rational because it can be written as a fraction (107/9)

sqrt(6) isn't a perfect square so it is irrational

3/7 is a fraction so it is rational

8.57 is a terminating decimal so it is rational

Answer:

D. $\frac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the odds of an events can be found by dividing the probability that an event will occur by the probability that the event will not occur.

$\text{Odds of an event}=\frac{\text{Probability that event will occur}}{\text{Probability that event will not occur}}$

Probability of an event not occurring can be found by subtracting probability of the event occurring from 1.

$\text{Odds of an event}=\frac{\text{Probability that event will occur}}{1-\text{Probability that event will occur} }$

We have been given that probability of an event is 2/7.

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

$\text{Odds of the given event}=\frac{\frac{2}{7}}{1-\frac{2}{7}} }$

$\text{Odds of the given event}=\frac{\frac{2}{7}}{\frac{7-2}{7}} }$

$\text{Odds of the given event}=\frac{\frac{2}{7}}{\frac{5}{7}} }$

$\text{Odds of the given event}=\frac{2}{7}\times \frac{7}{5}$

$\text{Odds of the given event}=\frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, the odds of the same event are $\frac{2}{5}$ and option D is the correct choice.
