Answer:

a)X=((-15-\sqrt{201},(-15+\sqrt{201}),(0,\infty)

b)Y=(\infty,\frac{1}{2}(-15-\sqrt{201} ) ),(\frac{1}{2}()-15+\sqrt{201)},0  )

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The Function

f(x)=1+\frac{1}{x}  +\frac{5}{x^2} +\frac{1}{x^3}

Generally the differentiation of function f(x) is mathematically solved as

f(x)=1+\frac{1}{x}  +\frac{5}{x^2} +\frac{1}{x^3}

f(x)=\frac{x^3+x^2+5x+1}{x^2}

Therefore

f'(x)=\frac{x^2+10x+3}{x^4}

Generally critical point is given as

f'(x)=0

\frac{x^2+10x+3}{x^4}=0

x=-5 \pm\sqrt{22}

Generally the maximum and minimum x value for critical point is mathematically solved as

f'(-5 \pm\sqrt{22})

Where

Maximum value of x

f'(-5 +\sqrt{22})

Minimum value of x

f'(-5 +\sqrt{22})

Therefore interval of increase is mathematically given by

f'(-5 -\sqrt{22}),f'(-5 +\sqrt{22})

f(x)

Therefore interval of decrease is mathematically given by

(-\infty,-5 -\sqrt{22}),f'(-5 +\sqrt{22},0),(0,\infty)

Generally the second differentiation of function f(x) is mathematically solved as

f''(x)=\frac{2(x^2+15x+6)}{x^5}

Generally the point of inflection is mathematically solved as

f''(x)=0

x^2+15x+6=0

Therefore inflection points is given as

x=\frac{1}{2} (-15 \pm \sqrt{201}

f''(x)>0,\frac{1}{2}(-15-\sqrt{201})

a)Generally the concave upward interval X is mathematically given as

X=((-15-\sqrt{201},(-15+\sqrt{201}),(0,\infty)

f''(x)

b)Generally the concave downward interval Y is mathematically given as

Y=(\infty,\frac{1}{2}(-15-\sqrt{201} ) ),(\frac{1}{2}()-15+\sqrt{201)},0  )

Alex and Ben were given a total of £240 They shared the money in the ratio 5:7
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Ben received: £140

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount = £240

Given ratio: 5:7

It means £240 is divided into 12 parts

So 1 part will be equal to:   £240/12

1 part = £20

Now given ratio is:

5:7

Multiplying each share with £20

5*(£20) : 7* (£20)

£100: £140

So according to ratio amounts:

Alex received:  £100

Ben received: £140

I hope it will help you!

What is the estimated sum of 3 16/17 plus 6 1/5?<br> The estimated sum is
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

The estimated sum is ≈10

Step-by-step explanation:

This depends on how your professor wants you to estimate sums. Logically, though, a value of nearly 4 and a value of just over 6 add to about 10. The exact answer would be a bit over 10, at ≈10.14117
