Answer:

6 Packs

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he needs 46 cookies, he will have to buy 46/8 which is 5.75 packs. But since the packs are sold in whole, not fractions, he buys a ceil approximation of the packs which is 6, because if he buys 5, it will not be enough.

A graphing calculator is recommended. A function is given. g(x) = x4 − 5x3 − 14x2 (a) Find all the local maximum and minimum val

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The local maximum and minimum values are:

Local maximum

$g(0) = 0$

Local minima

$g(5.118) = -350.90$

$g(-1.368) = -9.90$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be $g(x) = x^{4}-5\cdot x^{3}-14\cdot x^{2}$ . The determination of maxima and minima is done by using the First and Second Derivatives of the Function (First and Second Derivative Tests). First, the function can be rewritten algebraically as follows:

$g(x) = x^{2}\cdot (x^{2}-5\cdot x -14)$

Then, first and second derivatives of the function are, respectively:

First derivative

$g'(x) = 2\cdot x \cdot (x^{2}-5\cdot x -14) + x^{2}\cdot (2\cdot x -5)$

$g'(x) = 2\cdot x^{3}-10\cdot x^{2}-28\cdot x +2\cdot x^{3}-5\cdot x^{2}$

$g'(x) = 4\cdot x^{3}-15\cdot x^{2}-28\cdot x$

$g'(x) = x\cdot (4\cdot x^{2}-15\cdot x -28)$

Second derivative

$g''(x) = 12\cdot x^{2}-30\cdot x -28$

Now, let equalize the first derivative to solve and solve the resulting equation:

$x\cdot (4\cdot x^{2}-15\cdot x -28) = 0$

The second-order polynomial is now transform into a product of binomials with the help of factorization methods or by General Quadratic Formula. That is:

$x\cdot (x-5.118)\cdot (x+1.368) = 0$
