Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:

which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.
I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.
If, however, the function is

Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:

which gives:

or

We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,

, for
The value is 1.1. Because it is 1.1 spaces away. the negative symbol isn’t,t important in this case.
We can multiply the number of parts Marsha has finished by the miles of each part:
5 × 1/10
= 5/10
=1/2
Therefore, she raced 1/2 miles.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
x=12
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
30 + 4x + 2 = 8 + 6x
Reorder the terms:
30 + 2 + 4x = 8 + 6x
Combine like terms: 30 + 2 = 32
32 + 4x = 8 + 6x
Solving
32 + 4x = 8 + 6x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6x' to each side of the equation.
32 + 4x + -6x = 8 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x
32 + -2x = 8 + 6x + -6x
Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0
32 + -2x = 8 + 0
32 + -2x = 8
Add '-32' to each side of the equation.
32 + -32 + -2x = 8 + -32
Combine like terms: 32 + -32 = 0
0 + -2x = 8 + -32
-2x = 8 + -32
Combine like terms: 8 + -32 = -24
-2x = -24
Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 12
Simplifying
x = 12
Answer:
80 lemons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the amount of lemons that were on the tree.
We can use this to set up an equation:

Note that percentages can also be written as that number over 100.

Simplify the fraction.

Multiply both sides by 5

Divide both sides by 2

There were 80 lemons on the tree before he picked the lemons.
