What are the right answers to these questions? This is what I plugged in and I got them wrong.

Answer:

Concave Upward: (0,2), (4,6), (7,12) (even though the slope changes at x = 9, the slope is still increasing from 9 to 12; notice its upward curve)

Concave Downward: (2, 4), (6, 7)

Inflection Points: (2,2), (4,2), (6,2), (7,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that concave upward is when the slope is increasing, and concave downward is when the slope is decreasing.

It seems that from your answers (for part a), you are looking for when the slope changes from positive to negative (and vice versa). These two things (the rate of change of the slope and the sign of the slope) are critically different, but are easy to confuse. In other words, you're basing your answers off of maxima and minima (high points and low points on the graph).

What you really want to base your answers on are inflection points, which are points where the slope goes from becoming increasingly more negative/positive to the other.

For example, look at x = 2 on the graph. If we draw a line tangent to the graph for every x, we will see that the line will become steeper and steeper until we reach x = 2, where it will slowly start to taper off until it becomes flat at x = 3. I encourage you to look up some videos on the topic of concavity, they will show it better then I could.

If you can't do that, you can use a ruler to visualize the tangent line as you move it across the graph. When you have to start turning the ruler in the opposite direction to keep it tangent to the graph, you found an inflection point.

Inflection points are points that are on the graph, so I encourage you to keep that in mind when you are answering problems similar to that in part b.

Best of luck!

Name and describe the methods for determining a marketing budget.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: There are several ways in which we can determine our marketing budget. Some of these are given below:

<u><em>1. Percentage of revenues:</em></u>

Under this method we usually  take a fixed percentage of our revenues and further allocating this amount for marketing. We will choose the percentage that works best for us.

<u><em>2. Percentage of net sales:</em></u>

This method determines our marketing budget as a fraction of our net sales. This method will take a lot of trial and error to find the percentage that works well for our company.

<u><em>3. Industry specific:</em></u>

Nowadays, industries have specific projections as to the amount they will need to spend on marketing . The best way to get these numbers is to find a firm that represents our industry and ask them to provide us with averages. We can then refine the actual costs.

<em><u>4. Objective/task oriented </u></em>

This is model that works by setting out goals, planning out the tasks and then estimating the cost for all of these tasks. It works greatly for firms who have a immense knowledge about measurements and information of their business processes.

A triangle has side lengths of (x-6), (x+2) and (x-9). Find the perimeter of the triangle
Setler [38]

Answer:

3x - 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is just the distance around the triangle. We have all three sides, so we can just add them together to get the total distance.

(x-6) + (x+2) + (x-9)

Group:

x + x + x - 6 + 2 - 9

3x - 13

The ratio of pencil to rulers is 6:10. the are 21 pencils. how many rulers are there
Reika [66]

There would be 35 rulers.

In order to solve this, use cross multiplication.

6/10 = 21/x -----> cross multiply

10*21 = 6*x

210 = 6x

35 = x

PLEASE HELP (WILL NAME BRAINLYEST)
ira [324]

Answer:

4.04 x 10^0 people/km^2 (x 10^0 is fairly redundant but if the answer is required in standard form then include it)

Step-by-step explanation:

Population Density = Population/Area

= 3.11 x 10^7 / 7.69 x 10^6

= 31,100,000 / 7,690,000

= 3110 / 769

= 4.04

= 4.04 x 10^0
