Question is Incomplete; Complete question is given below;

During a recent rainstorm, 8 centimeters of rain fell in Dubaku's hometown, and 2.36 centimeters of rain fell in Elliot's hometown. During the same storm, 15.19 centimeters of snow fell in Alperen's hometown. How much more rain fell in Dubaku's town than in Elliot's town?

Answer:

The rain fell 5.64 cm more in Dubaku's town than in Elliot's town.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

rain fell in Dubaku's hometown = 8 cm

rain fell in Elliot's hometown = 2.36 cm

snow fell in Alperen's hometown = 15.19cm

We need to find how much more rain fell in Dubaku's town than in Elliot's town.

Solution:

Now we can say that;

to find how much more rain fell in Dubaku's town than in Elliot's town we will subtract rain fell in Elliot's hometown from rain fell in Dubaku's hometown.

framing in equation form we get;

Amount of rain fell more in Dubaku's town than in Elliot's town = $8-2.36 = 5.64\ cm$

Hence The rain fell 5.64 cm more in Dubaku's town than in Elliot's town.

The table shows the number if votes for the new school mascot. What percent of the students chose a mascot other than Tigers?

eduard

The total votes are 50. If you are finding out the percentage of students that did not choose the Tigers, you would subtract the Tigers votes from the total. 50-14 =36. 36/50 would equal .72, turn that into a percent and you have 72% of students not voting for Tigers.

I have calculus problems that I need help with.

aleksklad [387]

a. Note that $f(x)=x^ne^{-2x}$ is continuous for all $x$ . If $f(x)$ attains a maximum at $x=3$ , then $f'(3) = 0$ . Compute the derivative of $f$ .

$f'(x) = nx^{n-1} e^{-2x} - 2x^n e^{-2x}$

Evaluate this at $x=3$ and solve for $n$ .

$n\cdot3^{n-1} e^{-6} - 2\cdot3^n e^{-6} = 0$

$n\cdot3^{n-1} = 2\cdot3^n$

$\dfrac n2 = \dfrac{3^n}{3^{n-1}}$

$\dfrac n2 = 3 \implies \boxed{n=6}$

To ensure that a maximum is reached for this value of $n$ , we need to check the sign of the second derivative at this critical point.

$f(x) = x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f'(x) = 6x^5 e^{-2x} - 2x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(x) = 30x^4 e^{-2x} - 24x^5 e^{-2x} + 4x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(3) = -\dfrac{486}{e^6} < 0$

The second derivative at $x=3$ is negative, which indicate the function is concave downward, which in turn means that $f(3)$ is indeed a (local) maximum.

b. When $n=4$ , we have derivatives

$f(x) = x^4 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f'(x) = 4x^3 e^{-2x} - 2x^4 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(x) = 12x^2 e^{-2x} - 16x^3e^{-2x} + 4x^4e^{-2x}$

Inflection points can occur where the second derivative vanishes.

$12x^2 e^{-2x} - 16x^3 e^{-2x} + 4x^4 e^{-2x} = 0$

$12x^2 - 16x^3 + 4x^4 = 0$

$4x^2 (3 - 4x + x^2) = 0$

$4x^2 (x - 3) (x - 1) = 0$

Then we have three possible inflection points when $x=0$ , $x=1$ , or $x=3$ .

To decide which are actually inflection points, check the sign of $f''$ in each of the intervals $(-\infty,0)$ , $(0, 1)$ , $(1, 3)$ , and $(3,\infty)$ . It's enough to check the sign of any test value of $x$ from each interval.

$x\in(-\infty,0) \implies x = -1 \implies f''(-1) = 32e^2 > 0$

$x\in(0,1) \implies x = \dfrac12 \implies f''\left(\dfrac12\right) = \dfrac5{43} > 0$

$x\in(1,3) \implies x = 2 \implies f''(2) = -\dfrac{16}{e^4} < 0$

$x\in(3,\infty) \implies x = 4 \implies f''(4) = \dfrac{192}{e^8} > 0$

The sign of $f''$ changes to either side of $x=1$ and $x=3$ , but not $x=0$ . This means only $\boxed{x=1}$ and $\boxed{x=3}$ are inflection points.

katie has red 32% of a book if she has to read 80 pages how many more pages does Katie have left to read

galben [10]

In this question, the information that Katie has already read 32% of a book that has a total of 80 pages is of great importance. This information is enough to find the required answer to the question.
Total number of pages Katie has to read = 80
Percentage of pages that Cathie read = 32%
Number of pages that Katie read = (32/100) * 80
   = 256/10
   = 25.6 pages
Then
The number of pages that Katie have left to read = 80 - 25.6
   = 54.4 pages
So Katie has 54.4 pages left to read.

Anyone ??<br> I’m confused

Ad libitum [116K]

+2+(-3)+(-1)+4(-5)+(-3) ok so first 2 is positive and 3 is negative there both different signs so u subtract +2+(-3)=-1+(-1)=0+4=4+(-5)=-1+(-3)=-4 your answer is 4
