Answer:

The following classification is found:

(0.2, 6) - Absolute minimum

(-0.2, 10) - Absolute maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be f(x) = 125\cdot x^{3}-15\cdot x + 8, we need to find first and second derivatives of this expression at first:

First derivative

f'(x) = 375\cdot x^{2}-15 (Eq. 1)

Second derivative

f''(x) = 750\cdot x (Eq. 2)

Critical points are points that equals first derivative to zero and that may be maxima or minima. That is:

375\cdot x^{2} -15 = 0

x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{15}{375} }

Which leads to the following critical points:

x_{1}\approx 0.2 and x_{2} \approx -0.2

Now we evaluate each result in second derivative expression:

f''(x_{1}) = 750\cdot (0.2)

f''(x_{1})=150 (Absolute minimum)

f''(x_{2})= 750\cdot (-0.2)

f''(x_{2}) = -150 (Absolute maximum)

Lastly we evaluate the function at each critical point:

f(x_{1})= 125\cdot (0.2)^{3}-15\cdot (0.2)+8

f(x_{1})= 6

f(x_{2})= 125\cdot (-0.2)^{3}-15\cdot (-0.2)+8

f(x_{2}) = 10

And the following classification is found:

(0.2, 6) - Absolute minimum

(-0.2, 10) - Absolute maximum

Albert O'Malley signs a promissory note for $3,500 for 150 days at 9% exact interest. Find the interest he must pay _____ and th
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

He must pay $129.45 and the total amount due is $3,629.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

I (interest) =P (principal) x R (rate) x T (time)

I=3500x.09x150/365

I=129.45

A (amount due) = P (principal) + I (interest)

A= 3500 + 129.45

A= $3629.45

What is the vertex of (x) = –16x² + 64x + 80.
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

<h3>            (2, 124)</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k      - the  vertex form of the equation of the parabola with vertex (h, k)

f(x) = -16x^2+ 64x + 80\\\\f(x) = -16(x^2- 4x) + 80\\\\f(x) = -16(\underline {x^2-2\cdot2x\cdot2+2^2}-2^2) + 80\\\\f(x) = -16\big[(x-2)^2-4\big] + 80\\\\f(x) = -16(x-2)^2+64 + 80\\\\\bold{f(x)=-16(x-2)^2+124\quad\implies\quad h=2\,,\quad k=124}

<u>The vertex is </u><u>(2, 124)</u>
