Given function:

The minimum value of the function can be found by setting the first derivative of the function to zero.


Solving for x:


Substituting the value of x into the original function:

Hence, the minimum value in the given range is (-1, -0.368)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer is 149.00.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part = Percent • Whole
Adding a 65% markup to the original price of 105 is simply multiplying the price by the decimal form of the markup, then adding that to the original price. Next, you would find 20% of your sum by multiplying the sum by 0.20. Then you would find 7.5% of <em>that</em> and add this to the price.
Solve:
105 • 0.65 = 68.25 Find 65% of 105
105 + 68.25 = 173.25 Add the markup to the price
173.25 • 0.20 = 34.65 Find the discount of the new price
173.25 - 34.65 = 138.60 Subtract discount from price
138.60 • 0.075 = 10.395 Find sales tax of new price (Or round to 10.40)
<u>138.60 + 10.395 = </u><u>148.995</u><u> Add sales tax to new price (Or </u><u>149</u><u>)</u>
Because money only goes to the hundredths place, we can either start rounding to that place in the second to last step - rounding 10.395 to 10.40 - or we can round our answer - 148.995 rounds to 149. Either way, we will still get an answer of $149.00.
Hope this helps.

The formula for finding the volume of a rectangular prism (the cargo area of the truck is the shape of a rectangle in 3D; a rectangular prism) is V = (l)(w)(h); where <em>l</em> = length, <em>w</em> = width, and <em>h</em> = height.
First, substitute the known values into the equation:
l = 8.5
w = 6
h = 10.5
V = (8.5)(6)(10.5)
<em>(Note: .5 = 1/2)</em>
Now, all we need to do is simplify:
V = 535.5 ft³ OR 535 1/2 ft³
<em>(Note: ft</em><em>³</em><em> is the condensed form of cubic feet)</em>
You can pick whichever form your test directs you to use. They are both the same value though.
Hope this helps!
