5% of 120 is 6

120 - 6 = 114

Her time would be reduced to 114 seconds.

Hope this helps!

Since she reduce her time by 5%, 
So 
 
120 - (5% of 120)
120 - (5/100 of 120)
120 - (0.05 * 120)
120 - (6)
120 - 6 
114 seconds .   (Answer)

Part A. You have the correct first and second derivative.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Part B. You'll need to be more specific. What I would do is show how the quantity (-2x+1)^4 is always nonnegative. This is because x^4 = (x^2)^2 is always nonnegative. So (-2x+1)^4 >= 0. The coefficient -10a is either positive or negative depending on the value of 'a'. If a > 0, then -10a is negative. Making h ' (x) negative. So in this case, h(x) is monotonically decreasing always. On the flip side, if a < 0, then h ' (x) is monotonically increasing as h ' (x) is positive.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Part C. What this is saying is basically "if we change 'a' and/or 'b', then the extrema will NOT change". So is that the case? Let's find out

To find the relative extrema, aka local extrema, we plug in h ' (x) = 0
h  ' (x) = -10a(-2x+1)^4
0 = -10a(-2x+1)^4
so either
-10a = 0 or (-2x+1)^4 = 0
The first part is all we care about. Solving for 'a' gets us a = 0. 
But there's a problem. It's clearly stated that 'a' is nonzero. So in any other case, the value of 'a' doesn't lead to altering the path in terms of finding the extrema. We'll focus on solving (-2x+1)^4 = 0 for x. Also, the parameter b is nowhere to be found in h ' (x) so that's out as well.

nignag [31]

Answer:

10  points the explantion is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Bob scored 35 points and Lilla scores 15 less so you start with 35 - 15. Then you want to divide 20 by 2 because Carol scored half as much as Lilla. Your equation is ( 35-15) / 2 = 10
