 <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.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!

Determine the intercepts of the line. yy y y -intercept: (\Big( ( left parenthesis ,, , comma )\Big) ) right parenthesis xx x x
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Question:

Give all the x and y intercept of the function

f(x) = \frac{3x^2 - 3x-60}{2x^3 + 2x^2-34x+30}

Answer:

The x intercepts are x = 5 and x = -4

The y intercept is at y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorizing the numerator of the expression we find the x intercepts as follows;

f(x) = \frac{3x^2 - 3x-60}{2x^3 + 2x^2-34x+30} =\frac{3(x-5)(x+4)}{2x^3 + 2x^2-34x+30}

Therefore, the x intercept are

x = 5 and x = -4

To find the y intercept, we put x = 0 to get y = -2

Therefore, the y intercept is at y = -2

Factorizing the denominator we find the values for which the equation is undefined

2·x³ + 2·x² - 34·x + 30 = 2·(x-1)·(x-3)·(x+5) which gives

x = 1, 3 and -5.

Find the quotient: –37.44 ÷ 4.8 Check reasonableness by estimating: –37.44 4.8 Estimated quotient:
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The most important part of this question is the estimation. That means you round either up or down to get whole numbers.

You can make - 37.44 either - 40 or - 35

You can make 4.8 into 5

So the answer should lie between -40/5 = - 8

or

The answer should be between - 35/5 = - 7

Use your calculator to check it.

-37.44 ÷ 4.8 = - 7.8

This skill is very handy when shopping or writing a test. It you get an outrageous answer like - 21.44 you know you have done something wrong.
