Answer:

a : c = 6 : 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressing the ratios in fractional form, then

$\frac{a}{c}$ = $\frac{a}{b}$ × $\frac{b}{d}$ × $\frac{d}{c}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ × $\frac{4}{5}$ × $\frac{3}{1}$ = $\frac{12}{10}$ = $\frac{6}{5}$

Thus a : c = 6 : 5

Find the x-coordinates of any relative extrema and inflection point(s) for the function f(x)= 6x^1/3 + 3x^4/3. You must justify

Answer:

x-coordinates of relative extrema = $\frac{-1}{2}$

x-coordinates of the inflexion points are 0, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=6x^{\frac{1}{3}}+3x^{\frac{4}{3}}$

Differentiate with respect to x

$f'(x)=6\left ( \frac{1}{3} \right )x^{\frac{-2}{3}}+3\left ( \frac{4}{3} \right )x^{\frac{1}{3}}=\frac{2}{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}+4x^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$f'(x)=0\Rightarrow \frac{2}{x^{\frac{2}{3}}}+4x^{\frac{1}{3}}=0\Rightarrow x=\frac{-1}{2}$

Differentiate f'(x) with respect to x

$f''(x)=2\left ( \frac{-2}{3} \right )x^{\frac{-5}{3}}+\frac{4}{3}x^{\frac{-2}{3}}=\frac{-4x^{\frac{2}{3}}+4x^{\frac{5}{3}}}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}x^{\frac{5}{3}}}\\f''(x)=0\Rightarrow \frac{-4x^{\frac{2}{3}}+4x^{\frac{5}{3}}}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}x^{\frac{5}{3}}}=0\Rightarrow x=1$
