Determine which function has the greatest rate of change as x approaches infinity.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer: h(x) = 3*x^2 - 7*x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of a function is equal to the derivate:

remember that a derivate of the form:

k(x) = a*x^n is k'(x) = n*a*x^(n-1)

Then we have:

f(x) = 2*x - 10

f'(x) = 1*2* = 2

g(x) = 16*x - 4

g'(x) = 1*16 = 16

h(x) = 3*x^2 - 7*x + 8

h'(x) = 2*3*x - 1*7 = 6*x - 7

So the only that increases as x increases is h(x), this means that the greates rate of change as x approaches inffinity is the rate of change of h(x)

Which two values of x are roots of the polynomial below? x2 + 3x - 5

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots are the values of x for which x² + 3x - 5 = 0.

Quadratic formula:

x = [-3±√(3²-4(1)(-5))]/(2·1) = [-3±√29]/2

A rumor spreads through a small town. Let y ( t ) be the fraction of the population that has heard the rumor at time t and assum

Ivan

Answer:

Differential equation

$\frac{dy}{dt} =ky(1-y)$

Solution

$y=\frac{1}{1+4e^{-0.327t}}$

Value of constant k=0.327 days^(-1)

The rumor reaches 80% at 8.48 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

y(t): proportion of people that heard the rumor

y'(t)=ky(1-y), rate of spread of the rumor

Differential equation

$\frac{dy}{dt} =ky(1-y)$

Solving the differential equation

$\frac{dy}{y(1-y)}=k\cdot dt \\\\\int \frac{dx}{y(1-y)} =k \int dt \\\\-ln(1-\frac{1}{y} )+C_0=kt\\\\1-\frac{1}{y} =Ce^{-kt}\\\\\frac{1}{y} =1-Ce^{-kt}\\\\y=\frac{1}{1-Ce^{-kt}}$

Initial conditions:

$y(0)=0.2\\y(3)=0.4\\\\y(0)=0.2=\frac{1}{1-Ce^0}\\\\1-C=1/0.2\\\\C=1-1/0.2= -4\\\\\\y(3)=0.4=\frac{1}{1+4e^{-3k}} \\\\1+4e^{-3k}=1/0.4\\\\e^{-3k}=(2.5-1)/4=0.375\\\\k=ln(0.375)/(-3)=0.327\\\\\\y=\frac{1}{1+4e^{-0.327t}}$

Value of constant k=0.327 days^(-1)

At what time the rumor reaches 80%?

$y(t)=0.8=\frac{1}{1+4e^{-0.327t}} \\\\1+4e^{-0.327t}=1/0.8=1.25\\\\e^{-0.327t}=(1.25-1)/4=0.0625\\\\t=ln(0.0625)/(-0.327)=8.48$

The rumor reaches 80% at 8.48 days.
