Answer:
The number of mosquitoes is maximum for 6.5 inches rainfall.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is
.... (1)
where, M(x) is number of mosquitoes in millions and x the June rainfall in inches.
We need to find the rainfall that produces the maximum number of mosquitoes.
Differential the above function with respect to x.
.... (2)
Equate first derivative equal to 0.
Differential function (2) with respect to x.
Double derivative is negative. So, the value of function is maximum at x=6.5.
Therefore, the number of mosquitoes is maximum for 6.5 inches rainfall.
Answer: 49/60
Step-by-step explanation:
(1/3+2/5)-1/4-(5/6-7/6)
Primero (5/6-7/6)
5/6-7/6=-2/6
1/3+2/5-1/4-(-2/6)
1/3+2/5-1/4+2/6
2/6=1/3
1/3+2/5-1/4+1/3
2/3+2/5-1/4
2/3=10/15
2/5=6/15
10/15+6/15-1/4
16/15-1/4
16/15=64/60
1/4=15/60
64/60-15/60=49/60

The vertex form of a quadratic function is:
f(x) = a(x - h)² + k
The coordinate (h, k) represents a parabola's vertex.
In order to convert a quadratic function in standard form to the vertex form, we can complete the square.
y = 2x² - 5x + 13
Move the constant, 13, to the other side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides of the equation.
y - 13 = 2x² - 5x
Factor out 2 on the right side of the equation.
y - 13 = 2(x² - 2.5x)
Add (b/2)² to both sides of the equation, but remember that since we factored 2 out on the right side of the equation we have to multiply (b/2)² by 2 again on the left side.
y - 13 + 2(2.5/2)² = 2(x² - 2.5x + (2.5/2)²)
y - 13 + 3.125 = 2(x² - 2.5x + 1.5625)
Add the constants on the left and factor the expression on the right to a perfect square.
y - 9.875 = 2(x - 1.25)²
Now, we need y to be by itself again so add 9.875 back to both sides of the equation to move it back to the right side.
y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Vertex: (1.25, 9.875)
Solution: y = 2(x - 1.25)² + 9.875
Or if you prefer fractions
y = 2(x - 5/4)² + 79/8
