Answer:
- (-1, -32) absolute minimum
- (0, 0) relative maximum
- (2, -32) absolute minimum
- (+∞, +∞) absolute maximum (or "no absolute maximum")
Step-by-step explanation:
There will be extremes at the ends of the domain interval, and at turning points where the first derivative is zero.
The derivative is ...
h'(t) = 24t^2 -48t = 24t(t -2)
This has zeros at t=0 and t=2, so that is where extremes will be located.
We can determine relative and absolute extrema by evaluating the function at the interval ends and at the turning points.
h(-1) = 8(-1)²(-1-3) = -32
h(0) = 8(0)(0-3) = 0
h(2) = 8(2²)(2 -3) = -32
h(∞) = 8(∞)³ = ∞
The absolute minimum is -32, found at t=-1 and at t=2. The absolute maximum is ∞, found at t→∞. The relative maximum is 0, found at t=0.
The extrema are ...
- (-1, -32) absolute minimum
- (0, 0) relative maximum
- (2, -32) absolute minimum
- (+∞, +∞) absolute maximum
_____
Normally, we would not list (∞, ∞) as being an absolute maximum, because it is not a specific value at a specific point. Rather, we might say there is no absolute maximum.
Answer: There is not a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old because the prediction given by the trend line produced by the regression calculator probably is not valid that far in the future.
Step-by-step explanation:
Years since tree was planted (x) - - - - height (y)
2 - - - - 17
3 - - - - 25
5 - - - 42
6 - - - - 47
7 - - - 54
9 - - - 69
Using a regression calculator :
The height of tree can be modeled by the equation : ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08
With y being the predicted variable; 7.36 being the slope and 3.08 as the intercept.
X is the independent variable which is used in calculating the value of y.
Predicted height when years since tree was planted(x) = 100
ŷ = 7.36X + 3.08
ŷ = 7.36(100) + 3.08
y = 736 + 3.08
y = 739.08
Forward prediction of 100 years produced by the trendline would probably give an invalid value because the trendline only models a range of 9 years prediction. However, a linear regression equation isn't the best for making prediction that far in into the future.
Is there a picture to this?
Answer:
y = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(-2x+5)=-x-5
-6x+15=-x-5
-5x=-20
x=4
y=-2(4)+5
y=-3
