What is the maximum slope to f(x)= e^(-x^2)?

1 answer:

6 0

F'(x)=-2x{e^(-x²)}
Equating f'(x)=0,
i.e,

-2x{e^(-x²)}=0....eqn(i)
For maximum slope:
Differentiating (i) wrt x,we get,
4x² {e^(-x²)}-2 {e^(-x²)}=0
{e^(-x²)} [4x²-2]=0
4x²-2=0
x=1/√2

If f(x)=y then f'(x)=dy/dx=slope
So,
Maximum slope
= f'(x)
= -2x{e^(-x²)}
=-2×(1/✓2){e^(-1/✓2)²}
= -✓2{e^(-1/2)}
=(-sqrt 2/sqrt e)
=-sqrt(2/e)➡c is correct

The total weight of 30 bags of flour and 4 bags of sugar is 42.6 kg. If each bag of sugar weighs 0.75 kg, what is the weight of

alina1380 [7]

The answer is: Each bag of flour weighs 1,32 kg.

If we the total weight of the bags is given, and we know both the number of bags of flour and sugar, and we also know the weight of each bag of sugar, then we have to find the unknown, which is X. 30 times X plus 4 times the weight of a bag of sugar would equal 42.6kg. Next step is to put the unknown on one side and the known values on the other side. We have 30 times X equals 42.6 minus 4 times 0.75.
To find X we need to divide the value with 30, or to sum up

30X + 4*0.75 = 42.6
30X + 3 = 42.6
X = (42.6 - 3) / 30
X = 1.32 kg

Help math question derivative!

atroni [7]

Let $f(x)=\sec^{-1}x$ . Then $\sec f(x)=x$ , and differentiating both sides with respect to $x$ gives

$(\sec f(x))'=\sec f(x)\tan f(x)\,f'(x)=1$
$f'(x)=\dfrac1{\sec f(x)\tan f(x)}$

Now, when $x=\sqrt2$ , you get

$(\sec^{-1})'(\sqrt2)=f'(\sqrt2)=\dfrac1{\sec\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)\tan\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)}$

You have $\sec^{-1}\sqrt2=\dfrac\pi4$ , so $\sec\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)=\sqrt2$ and $\tan\left(\sec^{-1}\sqrt2\right)=1$ . So $(\sec^{-1})'(\sqrt2)=\dfrac1{\sqrt2\times1}=\dfrac1{\sqrt2}$

Choose a counterexample that proves that the conjecture below is false.. abc is a right triangle, so angle A measures 90 degrees

andre [41]

Choose a counterexample that proves that the conjecture below is false.. abc is a right triangle, so angle A measures 90 degrees.

Answer: Out of all the options shown above the one that represents the counterexample that proves that the conjecture presented above is false is answer choice 2. Angle b is 90 degrees. The reason being that in a right angle there is only one angle that measures 90 degrees.

I hope it helps, Regards.
