Let f(x) = -5e^(-x/3) Find f^(6) (1)

Mathematics

Let's take the first derivative:

f'(x) = (-5e^{-x/3})' = -5 \times (e^{-x/3})' = -5e^{-x/3} \times \left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right) = \dfrac{5}{3}e^{-x/3}.

Notice that we can write this as:

f'(x) = -\dfrac{f(x)}{3}.

By taking the derivative of both sides n times, we get:

f^{(n+1)}(x) = -\dfrac{f^{(n)}}{3}.

This means that each time you take a derivative, a factor of -\dfrac{1}{3} will appear. So we conclude that:

f^{(n)}(x) = \left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^nf(x).

Taking n=6 and x=1, we get:

f^{(6)}(1) = \left(-\dfrac{1}{3}\right)^6 f(1) = \dfrac{-5e^{-1/3}}{729} = -\dfrac{5}{729}e^{-1/3}.

So we finally get:

\boxed{-\dfrac{5}{729}e^{-1/3}}.

Answer:

(A) It should choose High school Z for the most consistent attendance among its students.

(B) It should choose High school W with the highest average attendance.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the data for attendance in the table below, where Low represents the fewest days attended and High represents the most days attended for a single student.

<u>School</u>         Hight School W      High School X       High School Z

Low                       108                          112                          130

High                      180                          180                         180

Range                    72                           68                           50

Mean                    169                          160                          162

Median                 150                          124                          151

IQR                       47.5                         49.5                        39.5

S.D. (σ)                 29.5                         32.4                        27.5

(A) It is stated that the school district wants to award the school that has the most consistent attendance among its students.

Now, to check which high school should it choose; we will look for the standard deviation (σ) of each of the three schools because consistency is measured through standard deviation and the school with the lowest standard deviation means that it has the most consistent attendance among its students.

So, after looking at the standard deviation of all the three schools; the High School Z has the lowest standard deviation of 27.5.

This means that it should choose High school Z.

(B) It is stated that the school district wants to award the school with the highest average attendance.

Now, to check which high school should it choose; we will look for the Mean of each of the three schools because average is measured through mean of the data, and the school with the highest mean means that it has the highest average attendance.

So, after looking at the Mean of all the three schools; the High School W has the highest average of 169.

This means that it should choose High school W with the highest average attendance.
