Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
The quadratic function
determines the parabola which has the vertex at point (-3,5). The axis of symmetry passes through the vertex and is parallel to the y-axis. Hence, its equation is x=-3 (see attached diagram).
a. Note that
is continuous for all
. If
attains a maximum at
, then
. Compute the derivative of
.

Evaluate this at
and solve for
.




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

The second derivative at
is negative, which indicate the function is concave downward, which in turn means that
is indeed a (local) maximum.
b. When
, we have derivatives

Inflection points can occur where the second derivative vanishes.




Then we have three possible inflection points when
,
, or
.
To decide which are actually inflection points, check the sign of
in each of the intervals
,
,
, and
. It's enough to check the sign of any test value of
from each interval.




The sign of
changes to either side of
and
, but not
. This means only
and
are inflection points.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
40 / 7.50 = 5.3 recurring
Seeing as you can't buy 0.3 of a pizza, we just use the 5
Answer:
The area of the regular pentagon is 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The area of a regular polygon is equal to

where
P is the perimeter of the regular polygon
a is the apothem
Find the perimeter P
----> the regular pentagon has five equal sides
---> distance from center to middle of side
substitute
