A. The term "units" refers to the measurements in the original question or problem. When looking at the question, the units we are measuring are dollars/feet.
B. In this case, the f'(x) means we are looking for the cost (in dollars) to drill the next foot down.
C. Since the cost increases the more feet we drill down, the sign of f'(x) is positive.
Answer:
hmm i have no idea can u send a clear pic of question?
You can make an equation with this information using a variable for the number of days and solve for that variable. Here we can use d to represent days.
Ryan can build 4 desks in a day, so you could express his production as 4d.
Larry can build 4 desks in 2 days, so you could say he makes 2 desks in 1 day, expressed as 2d.
If Larry starts work one day before Ryan, he's made an extra 2 desks. To get 32 desks, you need to add together those 2 desks Larry made, however many desks Larry can make, and however many desks Ryan can make:
2 + 4d + 2d = 32.
Then just simplify and solve:
6d = 30
d = 5.
It'll take 5 days for them to make 32 desks. Hope this helps! Please rate this answer as brainliest if you liked it!! thank you!!!
