(1 point) There were 23.7 million licensed drivers in California in 2009 and 22.76 million in 2004. Find a formula for the numbe

r, N, of licensed drivers in the US as a function of t, the number of years since 2004, assuming growth is (a) Linear N(t)

Answer:

N(t) = 0.188t + 22.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of licensed drivers in 2004 = 22.76 million

Number of licensed drivers in 2009 = 23.7 million

Number of licensed drivers, N as a function of t since year 2004 ;

General form of a linear function :

y = mx + c

c = intercept ; m = slope

Intercept c = value of y ; when x = 0

Here, population after uerssmmx,

Hence,

In 2004 ;

22.76 = mx + c

x = 0

22.76 = c

Number in 2009

x = number of yesrs after 2004 ; x = 2000 - 2004 = 5years

We can find the slope :

y = m*5 + 22.76

y = 23.7 in 2009

23.7 = 5m + 22.76

23.7 - 22.76 = 5m

m = 0.94 / 5

m = 0.188

Hence, the linear function can be written as :

N(t) = 0.188t + 22.76

Find the critical numbers of the function f(x) = x6(x − 1)5 what does the first derivative test tell you that the second derivat
patriot [66]
The given function is f(x) = x⁶(x-1)⁵

The first derivative is
f'(x) = 6x⁵(x-1)⁵ + 5x⁶(x-1)⁴
       = x⁵(x-1)⁴(6x - 6 + 5x)
       = x⁵(x-1)⁴(11x - 6)
The critical values are the zeros of f'(x). They are
x = 0, 6/11, and 1.
The critical values indicate that turning points exist for f(x) at the critical points. However, we do not know the nature of the turning points.

Write the first derivative in the form f'(x) = (x-1)⁴(11x⁶ - 6x⁵).
The second derivative is
f''(x) = 4(x-1)³(11x⁶ - 6x⁵) + (x-1)⁴(66x⁵ - 30x⁴)
        = (x-1)³(44x⁶ - 24x⁵ + 66x⁶ - 30x⁵ - 66x⁵ + 30x⁴)
        = (x-1)³(110x⁶ - 120x⁵ + 30x⁴)
        = 10x⁴(x-1)³(11x² - 12x + 3)
The sign of f''(x) at the critical values tell us the nature of the turning point.

f''(0) = 0, therefore a point of inflection exists at x = 0.
f''(6/11) > 0, therefore a local minumum exists at x = 6/11.
f''(1) = 0, therefore a point of inflection exists at x=1.

The graphs shown below confirm these results.

HELP ME PLEASE!!! MATHEMATICS
sukhopar [10]
By Pythagoras  AB^2 = 12^2 - 6^2 =  108

AB = sqrt 108 = 10.39 to nearest hundredth

The perpendicular from M to DC will be parallel and equal to AB so  it = 10.39.

Also  AB^2 = CB * DB

108  =  6 * DB
DB = 108/6  = 18
so DC = 18-6 = 12

MD^2 = (1/2*12)^2 + 108  =   144

so MD = 12
