Answer:

XL = 13 cm, m∠L = 29°

AC = 21 cm, m∠C = 29°

PC = 13 cm, m∠Y = ?? (there is no angle Y in the figure)

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure on the right shows the triangles are isosceles, with XL = XN. That means also PA = PC. Those side lengths are all the same: 13 cm.

PA = PC = XL = XN = 13 cm

In the same fashion, ...

LN = AC = 21 cm

Of course, the angles have a similar relationship:

∠A = ∠C = ∠L = ∠N = 29°

The two base angles in the triangle add to 58°, so the third angle is ...

180° -58° = 122°

∠P =∠X = 122°

Additional comment

As is often the case in over-specified problems, the numbers shown are not consistent The attached figures show the length LN is actually incorrect for the angle and side specified for triangle ACP, or the angles are incorrect for the side lengths specified. What this means is that the answers you get will depend on how you work the problem. Above, we have taken the given numbers and relationships at face value, even though we know they are incorrect.

Given f'(x) = (x-4)(4-2x), find the x-coordinate for relative maximum on the graph of f(x)

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The coordinate of the relative maximum is x=4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the derivative of the function $f(x)$ is $f'(x) = (x-4)(4-2x)$ , the maxima and minima or the critical points can be found where $f'(x)=0,$ that is:

$f'(x) = (x-4)(4-2x)=0.$

The solutions to this equation are $x=4$ and $x=2.$

Now, if the second derivative $f''(x)$ for a function $f(x)$ is negative at a critical point, then the critical point is the relative maximum.

Therefore we want to see at which of the two critical points is $f''(x)$ negative. The second derivative is:

$\frac{\mathrm{d f'(x)}}{\mathrm{d}x}=f''(x)=-4(x-3).$

Now $f''(4)$ is $-4$ , and $f''(2)$ is $+4$ , therefore we deduce that the relative maxium is located at $x=4$ , because there the second derivative $f''(x)$ is negative.
