a. Note that
is continuous for all
. If
attains a maximum at
, then
. Compute the derivative of
.

Evaluate this at
and solve for
.




To ensure that a maximum is reached for this value of
, we need to check the sign of the second derivative at this critical point.

The second derivative at
is negative, which indicate the function is concave downward, which in turn means that
is indeed a (local) maximum.
b. When
, we have derivatives

Inflection points can occur where the second derivative vanishes.




Then we have three possible inflection points when
,
, or
.
To decide which are actually inflection points, check the sign of
in each of the intervals
,
,
, and
. It's enough to check the sign of any test value of
from each interval.




The sign of
changes to either side of
and
, but not
. This means only
and
are inflection points.
I like that you left How you did it on there. When I was in school I did it the same way. I would assume you’re using is over of equals percent over 100. The problem however is that the above number is always the total which means it should be on the bottom.
X/72= 45/100. Similar to what you have written. Solve the proportion. 100x=72x45
100x= 3240
X = 32.4
Answer:
4,344 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Mt. P is 1,086 feet tall. It says that Mt. Q is 4 times that. 1,086 x 4 is 4,344.
Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x.
The quotient of x and 3 is 13.
x/3 = 13
Multiply both sides by 3.
x = 13 × 3
x = 39
