Does the graph f(x)=-2x^2 -1 have a maximum or a minimum? Explain.

Mathematics

Serga [27]3 years ago

Answer:

It has a maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I think about it is looking at "a" (the leading variable's coefficient, so __x²), if it's negative, the graph is a frown, but if it's positive, it's a smile. In this case, a is -2, so the graph would have the shape of a frown, which has a maximum.

I hope this helped!

a wildlife photographer photographs a crocodile and then paddles against a river current for 6 km. Then, hoping to photograph a
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

  • 5 km/h or 6 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Let the speed of the boat be x
  • Speed against the current in the river is x - 2

<u>Time in the river:</u>

  • 6/(x - 2)

<u>Time in the lake:</u>

  • 15/x

<u>The difference:</u>

  • 6/(x - 2) = 15/x - 1

Solve for x to find the speed of the boat

<u>Multiply both sides by x(x - 2) to clear the fraction:</u>

  • 6x = 15(x - 2) - x(x - 2)
  • 6x = 15x - 30 - x² + 2x
  • x² - 11x + 30 = 0
  • (x - 5)(x - 6) =0
  • x -5 = 0, x - 6 = 0
  • x = 5 km/h, x = 6 km/h

Can someone help me with this question: What is the 40th term of these sequences below. 13, 26, 39, 52,...... 6, 12, 18, 24,....
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:520; 240

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 13, 26, 39, 52,......

a = First term = 13

d = common difference = 26 - 13 = 13

40th term = a + (n - 1)d = a + (40-1)d = a + 39d

= 13 + (39 × 13)

= 13 + 507

= 520

b. 6, 12, 18, 24,.......

a = First term = 6

d = common difference = 12 - 6 = 6

40th term = a + 39d

= 6 + 39(6)

= 6 + 234.

= 240

A national hockey league rink is 115 feet longer than it is wide. If the perimeter of the rink is 570 feet, find the dimensions
ivolga24 [154]

The length of hockey rink is 200 feet and width of hockey rink is 85 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Perimeter of hockey rink = 570 feet

Width of hockey rink = w

Length of hockey rink = w+115

As a hockey rink is in rectangular shape;

Perimeter of rink = 2(Length + Width)

570=2(w+115+w)\\570=2(2w+115)\\570=4w+230\\570-230=4w\\340=4w\\4w=340

Dividing both sides by 4

\frac{4w}{4}=\frac{340}{4}\\w=85

Width of hockey rink = 85 feet

Length of hockey rink = 85+115 = 200 feet

The length of hockey rink is 200 feet and width of hockey rink is 85 feet.
