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

Can two numbers have a GCF that is bigger than their LCM? Explain how you know?

DiKsa [7]

The answer to this question would be: No, they can't

Greatest common factor biggest possible value is the number value itself. There is no factor that bigger than the number.

But the least common multiple smallest possible value is the number. There is no multiple that smaller than the number.

So it is not possible to have GCF bigger than LCM.

(1/3) × the cone's volume = The cylinder's volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The volume of any cone is obtained by multiplying $\frac{1}{3}$ with π, the square of the radius ( $r^{2}$ ) and the height ( $h$ ).

So the volume of the cone, $V=\pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}$ .

Step 2:

The cylinder's volume is nearly the same as the cone but instead by multiplying $\frac{1}{3}$ we multiply with 1.

So the cylinder's volume is determined by multiplying π with the square of the radius of the cylinder ( $r^{2}$ ) and the height of the cylinder ( $h$ ).

So the the cone's volume, $V = \pi r^{2} h$ .
