There is a specialty store that you like to go to when you are craving jelly beans. The price is reasonable at $1.30 per pound.

The store is a bit of a distance away and you could purchase the same jelly beans at your neighborhood supermarket, but the cost is a little more at $2.10 per pound. You spend about $3 on gas every time you go to the specialty store. How do you know if you are getting enough of the jelly beans to make the trip worthwhile?

Use the graph below to estimate the solution to the system of equations shown.

Mila [183]

Answer: The second choice is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>The first line (Blue One)</h3>

$y=-x-3$ (Slope is -1 and intercepts y at -3)

<h3>The second one (Red One)</h3>

$y=2x-8$ (Slope is 2, to find y-intercept. Substitute x = 0 then we get -8) (For x-intercept, it's 4. Just substitute y=0 to get x-intercept.)

Because there are choices, it's easy to notice.

The first one, x = -4 and almost -5 which is not right. (x is around 1 almost 2.)

The second one, x = 1 and almost 2 is right.

The third one, x = -1 and almost -2 is not right (The intersection isn't even at -1 or any negative number for x-axis.)

The fourth one, just like the first one... x = 4 almost 5

<h3>Or solve the equations.</h3>

$y=-x-3\\y=2x-8$

Substitute y=2x-8 in y=-x-3

$2x-8=-x-3\\2x-8+x+3=0\\3x-5=0\\3x=5\\x=\frac{5}{3}\\(x=1\frac{2}{3})$

Look at the value of x then find the answer that matches the value of x.

Now for y, substitute x = 5/3 in y = -x-3 (or in 2x-8 if you want.)

$y=-\frac{5}{3} -3\\y=-\frac{5}{3} -\frac{9}{3} \\y=-\frac{14}{3} \\(y=-4\frac{2}{3} )$

So the answer is the second choice.

Find the 2nd Derivative:<br> f(x) = 3x⁴ + 2x² - 8x + 4

ad-work [718]

Answer:

$f''(x)=36x^2+4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by finding the first derivative of $f(x)= 3x^4+2x^2-8x+4$ . We can do so by using the power rule for derivatives.

The power rule states that:

$\frac{d}{dx} (x^n) = n \times x^n^-^1$

This means that if you are taking the derivative of a function with powers, you can bring the power down and multiply it with the coefficient, then reduce the power by 1.

Another rule that we need to note is that the derivative of a constant is 0.

Let's apply the power rule to the function f(x).

$\frac{d}{dx} (3x^4+2x^2-8x+4)$

Bring the exponent down and multiply it with the coefficient. Then, reduce the power by 1.

$\frac{d}{dx} (3x^4+2x^2-8x+4) = ((4)3x^4^-^1+(2)2x^2^-^1-(1)8x^1^-^1+(0)4)$

Simplify the equation.

$\frac{d}{dx} (3x^4+2x^2-8x+4) = (12x^3+4x^1-8x^0+0)$
$\frac{d}{dx} (3x^4+2x^2-8x+4) = (12x^3+4x-8(1)+0)$

$\frac{d}{dx} (3x^4+2x^2-8x+4) = (12x^3+4x-8)$
$f'(x)=12x^3+4x-8$

Now, this is only the first derivative of the function f(x). Let's find the second derivative by applying the power rule once again, but this time to the first derivative, f'(x).

$\frac{d}{d} (f'x) = \frac{d}{dx} (12x^3+4x-8)$

$\frac{d}{dx} (12x^3+4x-8) = ((3)12x^3^-^1 + (1)4x^1^-^1 - (0)8)$

Simplify the equation.

$\frac{d}{dx} (12x^3+4x-8) = (36x^2 + 4x^0 - 0)$
$\frac{d}{dx} (12x^3+4x-8) = (36x^2 + 4(1) - 0)$
$\frac{d}{dx} (12x^3+4x-8) = (36x^2 + 4 )$

Therefore, this is the 2nd derivative of the function f(x).

We can say that: $f''(x)=36x^2+4$
