Answer:

The value of x that gives the maximum transmission is 1/√e ≅0.607

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets call f the rate function f. Note that f(x) = k * x^2ln(1/x), where k is a positive constant (this is because f is proportional to the other expression). In order to compute the maximum of f in (0,1), we derivate f, using the product rule.

f'(x) = k*((x^2)'*ln(1/x) + x^2*(ln(1/x)')) = k*(2x\,ln(1/x)+x^2*(\frac{1}{1/x}*(-\frac{1}{x^2})))\\= k * (2x \, ln(1/x)-x)

We need to equalize f' to 0

  • k*(2x ln(1/x) - x) = 0 -------- We send k dividing to the other side
  • 2x ln(1/x) - x = 0 -------- Now we take the x and move it to the other side
  • 2x ln(1/x) = x -- Now, we send 2x dividing (note that x>0, so we can divide)
  • ln(1/x) = x/2x = 1/2 -------  we send the natural logarithm as exp
  • 1/x = e^(1/2)
  • x = 1/e^(1/2) = 1/√e ≅ 0.607

Thus, the value of x that gives the maximum transmission is 1/√e.

What is the quotient StartFraction 15 p Superscript negative 4 Baseline q Superscript negative 6 Baseline Over negative 20 p Sup
Kitty [74]

Answer:

-\frac{3p^8}{4q^3}

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6}}{-20p^{-12}q^{-3}}  can be broken down into three fractions, coefficients, powers of p, powers of q.

-\frac{15}{20}\cdot\frac{p^{-4}}{p^{-12}}\cdot\frac{q^{-6}}{q^{-3}}

Simplify the first fraction, then simplify the others by subtracting numerator exponents minus denominator exponents.

-\frac{3}{4} p^{-4-(-12)} q^{-6-(-3)} =-\frac{3}{4} p^8 q^{-3} = \alpha -\frac{3p^8}{4q^3}

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: E
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question :

Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: Equals negative 4 + 6 + 5 Step 3: Equals 7 What, if any, was Jane's mistake?

Jane's evaluation :

x² - 3x + 5 for x = - 2

Step 1:

(-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

Step 2:

-4 + 6 + 5

Step 3 :

= 7

Jane's mistake was in STEP2,

evaluating (-2)² = 4 and not - 4

Hence, (-2)² - 3(-2) + 5

= 4 + 6 + 5

= 15
