35 six graders

70 dived in half is 35

50% is half, so just do 70/2 to get 35. So, 35 sixth graders will be at the morning assembly.

The graph below shows the velocity f(t) of a runner during a certain time interval:

Snezhnost [94]

When graphs are plotted, graphs as in the .jpeg image in attachment are obtained.
First graph is line going through ordered pair (point) (0,6) and pair (6,8).
The second graph is line going through ordered pair (6,8) and pair (8,0).
Intercept of these graphs is point (ordered pair) (6,8).
You see from the .jpeg image that the following is true:
Initial velocity of the runner is 6 meters per second (runner starts with this velocity), for a while he runs, velocity grows, then in the 6th second (time=6), runner starts to slow down and velocity starts to decrease, and runner stops totally at time = 8.
So runner stops after 8 seconds.
The 4th claim (sentence) is correct.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Concave Up Interval: $(- \infty,\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3} )U(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} , \infty)$

Concave Down Interval: $(\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} )$

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Calculus</u>

Derivative of a Constant is 0.

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Quotient Rule: $\frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Chain Rule: $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Second Derivative Test:

Possible Points of Inflection (P.P.I) - Tells us the possible x-values where the graph f(x) may change concavity. Occurs when f"(x) = 0 or undefined
Points of Inflection (P.I) - Actual x-values when the graph f(x) changes concavity
Number Line Test - Helps us determine whether a P.P.I is a P.I

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

$f(x)=\frac{3}{1+x^2}$

<u>Step 2: Find 2nd Derivative</u>

1st Derivative [Quotient/Chain/Basic]: $f'(x)=\frac{0(1+x^2)-2x \cdot 3}{(1+x^2)^2}$
Simplify 1st Derivative: $f'(x)=\frac{-6x}{(1+x^2)^2}$
2nd Derivative [Quotient/Chain/Basic]: $f"(x)=\frac{-6(1+x^2)^2-2(1+x^2) \cdot 2x \cdot -6x}{((1+x^2)^2)^2}$
Simplify 2nd Derivative: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3x^2-1)}{(1+x^2)^3}$

<u>Step 3: Find P.P.I</u>

Set f"(x) equal to zero: $0=\frac{6(3x^2-1)}{(1+x^2)^3}$

<em>Case 1: f" is 0</em>

Solve Numerator: $0=6(3x^2-1)$
Divide 6: $0=3x^2-1$
Add 1: $1=3x^2$
Divide 3: $\frac{1}{3} =x^2$
Square root: $\pm \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} =x$
Simplify: $\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} =x$
Rewrite: $x= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

<em>Case 2: f" is undefined</em>

Solve Denominator: $0=(1+x^2)^3$
Cube root: $0=1+x^2$
Subtract 1: $-1=x^2$

We don't go into imaginary numbers when dealing with the 2nd Derivative Test, so our P.P.I is $x= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ (x ≈ ±0.57735).

<u>Step 4: Number Line Test</u>

<em>See Attachment.</em>

We plug in the test points into the 2nd Derivative and see if the P.P.I is a P.I.

x = -1

Substitute: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(-1)^2-1)}{(1+(-1)^2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(1)-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Subtract/Add: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{(2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{8}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{12}{8}$
Simplify: $f"(x)=\frac{3}{2}$

This means that the graph f(x) is concave up before $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ .

x = 0

Substitute: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(0)^2-1)}{(1+(0)^2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(0)-1)}{(1+0)^3}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{6(0-1)}{(1+0)^3}$
Subtract/Add: $f"(x)=\frac{6(-1)}{(1)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(-1)}{1}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{-6}{1}$
Divide: $f"(x)=-6$

This means that the graph f(x) is concave down between and .

x = 1

Substitute: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(1)^2-1)}{(1+(1)^2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3(1)-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{6(3-1)}{(1+1)^3}$
Subtract/Add: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{(2)^3}$
Exponents: $f"(x)=\frac{6(2)}{8}$
Multiply: $f"(x)=\frac{12}{8}$
Simplify: $f"(x)=\frac{3}{2}$

This means that the graph f(x) is concave up after $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ .

<u>Step 5: Identify</u>

Since f"(x) changes concavity from positive to negative at $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ and changes from negative to positive at $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , then we know that the P.P.I's $x= \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ are actually P.I's.

Let's find what actual <em>point </em>on f(x) when the concavity changes.

$x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Substitute in P.I into f(x): $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+(\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3} )^2}$
Evaluate Exponents: $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+\frac{1}{3} }$
Add: $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{\frac{4}{3} }$
Divide: $f(\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{9}{4}$

$x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$

Substitute in P.I into f(x): $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} )^2}$
Evaluate Exponents: $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{1+\frac{1}{3} }$
Add: $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{3}{\frac{4}{3} }$
Divide: $f(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3} )=\frac{9}{4}$

<u>Step 6: Define Intervals</u>

We know that <em>before </em>f(x) reaches $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , the graph is concave up. We used the 2nd Derivative Test to confirm this.

We know that <em>after </em>f(x) passes $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , the graph is concave up. We used the 2nd Derivative Test to confirm this.

Concave Up Interval: $(- \infty,\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3} )U(\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} , \infty)$

We know that <em>after</em> f(x) <em>passes</em> $x=\frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}$ , the graph is concave up <em>until</em> $x=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{3}$ . We used the 2nd Derivative Test to confirm this.

Concave Down Interval: $(\frac{-\sqrt{3} }{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3} }{3} )$
