Answer:

22 cupcakes

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find how many cupcakes he has already made.

He made 13 chocolate and 15 vanilla. If we add them together, we can find how many he has made total.

13+15=28

So far, he has 28 cupcakes.

He needs 50 cupcakes, and he has already made 28. The difference of the two numbers will be how many he must still make.

Subtract 28 from 50

50-28=22

So, he still has to make 22 cupcakes

Answer:

13+15=28

50-28=22

I am having trouble with this relative minimum of this equation.<br>​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

So the approximate relative minimum is (0.4,-58.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok this is a calculus approach.  You have to let me know if you want this done another way.

Here are some rules I'm going to use:

(f+g)'=f'+g'       (Sum rule)

(cf)'=c(f)'          (Constant multiple rule)

(x^n)'=nx^{n-1} (Power rule)

(c)'=0               (Constant rule)

(x)'=1                (Slope of y=x is 1)

y=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56

y'=(4x^3+13x^2-12x-56)'

y'=(4x^3)'+(13x^2)'-(12x)'-(56)'

y'=4(x^3)'+13(x^2)'-12(x)'-0

y'=4(3x^2)+13(2x^1)-12(1)

y'=12x^2+26x-12

Now we set y' equal to 0 and solve for the critical numbers.

12x^2+26x-12=0

Divide both sides by 2:

6x^2+13x-6=0

Compaer 6x^2+13x-6=0 to ax^2+bx+c=0 to determine the values for a=6,b=13,c=-6.

a=6

b=13

c=-6

We are going to use the quadratic formula to solve for our critical numbers, x.

x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{13^2-4(6)(-6)}}{2(6)}

x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{169+144}}{12}

x=\frac{-13 \pm \sqrt{313}}{12}

Let's separate the choices:

x=\frac{-13+\sqrt{313}}{12} \text{ or } \frac{-13-\sqrt{313}}{12}

Let's approximate both of these:

x=0.3909838 \text{ or } -2.5576505.

This is a cubic function with leading coefficient 4 and 4 is positive so we know the left and right behavior of the function. The left hand side goes to negative infinity while the right hand side goes to positive infinity. So the maximum is going to occur at the earlier x while the minimum will occur at the later x.

The relative maximum is at approximately -2.5576505.

So the relative minimum is at approximate 0.3909838.

We could also verify this with more calculus of course.

Let's find the second derivative.

f(x)=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56

f'(x)=12x^2+26x-12

f''(x)=24x+26

So if f''(a) is positive then we have a minimum at x=a.

If f''(a) is negative then we have a maximum at x=a.

Rounding to nearest tenths here:  x=-2.6 and x=.4

Let's see what f'' gives us at both of these x's.

24(-2.6)+25

-37.5  

So we have a maximum at x=-2.6.

24(.4)+25

9.6+25

34.6

So we have a minimum at x=.4.

Now let's find the corresponding y-value for our relative minimum point since that would complete your question.

We are going to use the equation that relates x and y.

I'm going to use 0.3909838 instead of .4 just so we can be closer to the correct y value.

y=4(0.3909838)^3+13(0.3909838)^2-12(0.3909838)-56

I'm shoving this into a calculator:

y=-58.4654411

So the approximate relative minimum is (0.4,-58.5).

If you graph y=4x^3+13x^2-12x-56 you should see the graph taking a dip at this point.

What are the solutions to the equation 2x^2 - 2x - 12 = 0?
pantera1 [17]
2(x)^2 - 2(x) - 12 = ?
  
2(x)^2 - 2(x) - 12

(x)^2 - 6 - x

Multiply ↪1 (-6) = -6

1 + -6 = -5 , right?

-3 + 2 = -1, right?

After we have pulled out the like terms we have to add/subtract!   x(x) - 3

Search for the common denominator
2(x) - 3

You can add up 4 for your terms
x + 2 (x - 3)

Make sure you solve this↪ 2 = 0

x + 2 = ?
x + 2 = 0
We have found the first; x = -2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since, this one has a single variable, I'll make the step easier and quicker

Solve this part ↪    x-3 = 0 
If we had the number 3 to your sides we would have found the outcome of the next x
                    
So, the second x is 3 

So, therefore your answer would have to be x =-2 ; x = 3 (most likely option C.)
