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.

Julius is buying beverages for brunch. He needs to buy a total of 5
xeze [42]
Well, he only needs 5 gallons of beverages. Because he buys two containers of each, however, that means he bought 320 gallons total (I would say). How I got my answer:

There are 8 pints in a gallon (8 x 2)
There are 4 quarts in a gallon (4 x 2)
There are 16 cups in a gallon (16 x 2)
There are 128 ounces in a gallon (128 x 2)

With that being said, we can add these to find the total amount of gallons of beverages Julius bought. 16 + 8 + 8 + 32 + 256 = 320.

Hopefully this helps!
