 <span>f '(x) = ax^(a-1)(1 - x)^b - bx^a (1 - x)^(b-1) = x^(a-1)(1 - x)^(b-1) (a(1 - x) - bx). 


If a < 1 or b < 1, this may not be defined at one or both of the end points. f '(x) = 0 if the right most term is zero. 


a - ax - bx = 0 ==> x = a/(a + b). 


Note that this number is both well define and is between 0 and 1. 


f(0) = 0 

f(1) = 0, 

f(a/(a+b)) = a^ab^b/(a + b)^(a + b) <--- the maximum value.

Area of pond:

A=\pi r^{2}

r=1,5m

A=3,142*1,5*1,5=7,0695

Area of pond with path

B=\pi r^{2}

r=50 cm+1,5m=0,5m+1,5m=2m

B=3,142*2*2=12,568

Area of path:

12,568-7,0695=5,4985=5,50

Yuki888 [10]

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

2−(−4)+3+(−6)−(−2)2

solution:

– x – = +

– x + = –

= 2−(−4)+3+(−6)−(−2)2

= 6 + 3 + ( – 6) – ( 2 ) 2

= 9 + ( –6 ) – ( –2 ) 2

= 3 – (–2)2

= 3 – ( –4 )

= 7
