Answer:

X = 8.3 (shortened)

<u>Steps for answer!</u>

1. Subtract 2.5x from both sides.

1.5=4x-11-2.5x

2. Simplify 4x-11-2.5 to 1.5x-11

1.5=1.5x-11

3. Add 11 to both sides.

1.5+11=1.5x

4. Simplify 1.5+11 to 12.5.

12.5=1.5x

5. Divide both sides by 1.5.

12.5/1.5=x

6. Simplify 12.5/1.5 to 8.3333338.333333.

8.333333=x

7. Switch sides.

x=8.333333

Find the maximum value or minimum value for the function f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)² - 3.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

The minimum value for $f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3$ is $-3$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is $f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3$

We need to find the maximum value or the minimum value for the function.

Now, differentiate $f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3$ w.r.t $x$ .

$f'(x) =\frac{d}{dx}(0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3)\\f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}(0.15(x+1)^2-\frac{d}{dx}(3)\\$

$f'(x)=2\times 0.15(x+1)\frac{d}{dx}(x+1)-0\\f'(x)=0.3(x+1)(1)\\f'(x)=0.3(x+1)$

Now, we will equate $f'(x)=0$ to find critical point.

$0.3(x+1)=0\\x=-1$

Plug this critical point in to the function $f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3$ we get,

$f(-1) = 0.15(-1 + 1)^2 - 3\\f(-1)=-3$

Also, $f''(x)=0.3$ which is positive, We have minimum value.

So, the minimum value for $f(x) = 0.15(x + 1)^2 - 3$ is $-3$ .

Does x+y=1 have an x-intercept of (1,0) and y intercept of (0,1)?

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y intercept of this formula, you first need to convert it into slope intercept form.

x+y=1

y=-x+1

Here, the slope is negative 1 and the y intercept is (0,1). If you imagine the line with a slope of negative 1, it will indeed cross the x axis at (1,0). Hope this helps!
