Answer:

(a) Decreasing on (0, 1) and increasing on (1, ∞)

(b) Local minimum at (1, 0)

(c) No inflection point; concave up on (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

ƒ(x) = x² - x – lnx

(a) Intervals in which ƒ(x) is increasing and decreasing.

Step 1. Find the zeros of the first derivative of the function

ƒ'(x) = 2x – 1 - 1/x = 0

           2x² - x  -1 = 0

     ( x - 1) (2x + 1) = 0

         x = 1 or x = -½

We reject the negative root, because the argument of lnx cannot be negative.

There is one zero at (1, 0). This is your critical point.

Step 2. Apply the first derivative test.

Test all intervals to the left and to the right of the critical value to determine if the derivative is positive or negative.

(1) x = ½

ƒ'(½) = 2(½) - 1 - 1/(½) = 1 - 1 - 2 = -1

ƒ'(x) < 0 so the function is decreasing on (0, 1).

(2) x = 2

ƒ'(0) = 2(2) -1 – 1/2 = 4 - 1 – ½  = ⁵/₂

ƒ'(x) > 0 so the function is increasing on (1, ∞).

(b) Local extremum

ƒ(x) is decreasing when x < 1 and increasing when x >1.

Thus, (1, 0) is a local minimum, and ƒ(x) = 0 when x = 1.

(c) Inflection point

(1) Set the second derivative equal to zero

ƒ''(x) = 2 + 2/x² = 0

             x² + 2 = 0

                   x² = -2

There is no inflection point.

(2). Concavity

Apply the second derivative test on either side of the extremum.

\begin{array}{lccc}\text{Test} & x < 1 & x = 1 & x > 1\\\text{Sign of f''} & + & 0 & +\\\text{Concavity} & \text{up} & &\text{up}\\\end{array}

The function is concave up on (0, ∞).

timurjin [86]

Answer:

7x - 4y = -4\\(7x - 7x) - 4y = -7x - 4\\-4y = -7x - 4\\\frac{-4}{-4}y = \frac{-7x - 4}{-4}\\y = \frac{7}{4}x + 1\\m = \frac{7}{4}\\b = 1

m = slope

b = y-intercept

There were 20 boys and 26 girls in a chess club last year. This year the number of boys increased by 30% but the number of girls
Readme [11.4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Boys

20 + (20 \div 100)30 = \\  = 20 + 0.2 \times 30  =   \\  = 20 + 6 = \\26

Girls

26 - (26 \div 100)15 = \\  = 26 - 0.26 \times 15 =  \\  = 26 - 3.9 = \\  = 22

Total last year 46

Total this year 48

Jaime is 9 years old today. Assume that on every one of his birthdays since
Thepotemich [5.8K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The given statement is False statement

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given that Jaime has blown out a number of candles equal to his age on each of his birthday till now and he is 9 years old now so the total number of candles blown by him all his life is given by the

arithmetic series

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 and

not the arithmetic series

0 + 1 + 2 + 3+ 4+ 5+ 6+ 7+ 9 as given

so the given statement is false.
