Answer:

x=11, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

abs(x-5)+3=9

abs(x-5)=9-3

abs(x-5)=6

x-5=6

x-5=-6

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

x=6+5=11

x=-6+5=-1

I have calculus problems that I need help with.

aleksklad [387]

a. Note that $f(x)=x^ne^{-2x}$ is continuous for all $x$ . If $f(x)$ attains a maximum at $x=3$ , then $f'(3) = 0$ . Compute the derivative of $f$ .

$f'(x) = nx^{n-1} e^{-2x} - 2x^n e^{-2x}$

Evaluate this at $x=3$ and solve for $n$ .

$n\cdot3^{n-1} e^{-6} - 2\cdot3^n e^{-6} = 0$

$n\cdot3^{n-1} = 2\cdot3^n$

$\dfrac n2 = \dfrac{3^n}{3^{n-1}}$

$\dfrac n2 = 3 \implies \boxed{n=6}$

To ensure that a maximum is reached for this value of $n$ , we need to check the sign of the second derivative at this critical point.

$f(x) = x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f'(x) = 6x^5 e^{-2x} - 2x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(x) = 30x^4 e^{-2x} - 24x^5 e^{-2x} + 4x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(3) = -\dfrac{486}{e^6} < 0$

The second derivative at $x=3$ is negative, which indicate the function is concave downward, which in turn means that $f(3)$ is indeed a (local) maximum.

b. When $n=4$ , we have derivatives

$f(x) = x^4 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f'(x) = 4x^3 e^{-2x} - 2x^4 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(x) = 12x^2 e^{-2x} - 16x^3e^{-2x} + 4x^4e^{-2x}$

Inflection points can occur where the second derivative vanishes.

$12x^2 e^{-2x} - 16x^3 e^{-2x} + 4x^4 e^{-2x} = 0$

$12x^2 - 16x^3 + 4x^4 = 0$

$4x^2 (3 - 4x + x^2) = 0$

$4x^2 (x - 3) (x - 1) = 0$

Then we have three possible inflection points when $x=0$ , $x=1$ , or $x=3$ .

To decide which are actually inflection points, check the sign of $f''$ in each of the intervals $(-\infty,0)$ , $(0, 1)$ , $(1, 3)$ , and $(3,\infty)$ . It's enough to check the sign of any test value of $x$ from each interval.

$x\in(-\infty,0) \implies x = -1 \implies f''(-1) = 32e^2 > 0$

$x\in(0,1) \implies x = \dfrac12 \implies f''\left(\dfrac12\right) = \dfrac5{43} > 0$

$x\in(1,3) \implies x = 2 \implies f''(2) = -\dfrac{16}{e^4} < 0$

$x\in(3,\infty) \implies x = 4 \implies f''(4) = \dfrac{192}{e^8} > 0$

The sign of $f''$ changes to either side of $x=1$ and $x=3$ , but not $x=0$ . This means only $\boxed{x=1}$ and $\boxed{x=3}$ are inflection points.

Yester the town of the bishop received 7/8 inch of snow today the town received 2/3 of yesterday's amount how much snow fell in

laiz [17]

First you start off by setting up a Subtraction problem there anything common denominators of 7/8 and two over three verse 7/8 you should get 21/24 invert to over three you should get 16/24 then you would subtract those two anyway to get 5/24 I hope that was helpful get it
