A heated piece of metal cools according to the function c(x) = (.5)x − 11, where x is measured in hours. A device is added that

aids in cooling according to the function h(x) = −x − 3. What will be the temperature of the metal after five hours? (1 point)

16.5 degrees below the starting temp, whatever that is. If its 0, then -16.5 degrees.

The first equation would be (.5)5-11=-8.5, because the metal has been cooling for 5 hours.

The device that 'aids' in the cooling would be -5-3=-8, because it is a separate variable that cools the metal, so the amount the device cools is independent of the natural cooling amount, and the equation is independent of the natural cooling equation.
You then add -8.5 and -8, because the device has lowered 8.5 degrees and 8 degrees. This equals -16.5 degrees, or a decrease of 16.5 degrees.

Sylvia enlarged a photo to make a 24 x 32 inch poster using the dilation DQ,4. What are the dimensions, in inches, of the origin
RSB [31]

Answer:

6 × 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the dilation factor is 4, and the image was ENLARGED, that means the original photo was smaller.  Smaller by a factor of 4.

So, we take the new dimensions (24x32) and we divide each side by the dilation factor of 4:

(24/4) x (32/4) = 6 x 8

It couldn't be the first answer choice (3x8) because  that doesn't maintain the ratio of the enlarge picture.  The other possible answers do match the right ratio... but only 6x8 is scaled by a factor of 4.

The production function f(x) gives the number of units of an item that a manufacturing com pany can produce from units of raw ma
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the notion of the derivative of a function is the rate of change of it. So it kind of tells us how much the value of functioin changes as the independt variable increases or decreases. If it is positive, this means that the function will increase as the indepent variable increases, and if it is negative, that means that the function will decrease as the indepent variable increases.

a) Since f(x) is the number of units you can make out of x units of raw material, it is natural to think that the more material you have, the more units you can make, so we expect f'(x) to be positive.

b) The company buys each unit of raw material at the price w. So the product wx represents the total cost of the raw material used to produce f(x) units. Since each produced unit is sell at the price of p, then the product pf(x) represents the total income for selling all f(x) units.Recall that the profit is the difference between the total income and the total cost of production. Hence, the profit in this case is represented by the formula pf(x)-wx.

c) Recall that a function h(x) that is differentiable attains it's maximum when it's derivative is 0 and it's second derivative is negative.

In this case, we know that the derivative of the profit function, evaluated at x* must be 0, since it is a maximum. So, using the rules of derivation, we know that the derivative of the profit function is pf'(x)-w. Hence,

pf'(x*)-w =0. From where we know that f'(x*)=w/p.
