Answer:

$40 per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

the initial amount is = $100

the total amount= $500

let the number of weeks be x

Step two:

The expression for the scenario is

500= 100+40x-------1

From the expression above, the rate of the change is $40 per week.

this means that in every week the account will be increased by $40

Consider the equation below. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(x) = x3 − 6x2 − 15x + 4 (a) Find the interval on which
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) The function, f(x) is increasing at the intervals (x < -1.45) and (x > 3.45)

Written in interval form

(-∞, -1.45) and (3.45, ∞)

- The function, f(x) is decreasing at the interval (-1.45 < x < 3.45)

(-1.45, 3.45)

b) Local minimum value of f(x) = -78.1, occurring at x = 3.45

Local maximum value of f(x) = 10.1, occurring at x = -1.45

c) Inflection point = (x, y) = (1, -16)

Interval where the function is concave up

= (x > 1), written in interval form, (1, ∞)

Interval where the function is concave down

= (x < 1), written in interval form, (-∞, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

a) Find the interval on which f is increasing.

A function is said to be increasing in any interval where f'(x) > 0

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15

the function is increasing at the points where

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15 > 0

x² - 2x - 5 > 0

(x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) > 0

we then do the inequality check to see which intervals where f'(x) is greater than 0

Function | x < -1.45 | -1.45 < x < 3.45 | x > 3.45

(x - 3.45) | negative | negative | positive

(x + 1.45) | negative | positive | positive

(x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) | +ve | -ve | +ve

So, the function (x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) is positive (+ve) at the intervals (x < -1.45) and (x > 3.45).

Hence, the function, f(x) is increasing at the intervals (x < -1.45) and (x > 3.45)

Find the interval on which f is decreasing.

At the interval where f(x) is decreasing, f'(x) < 0

from above,

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15

the function is decreasing at the points where

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15 < 0

x² - 2x - 5 < 0

(x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) < 0

With the similar inequality check for where f'(x) is less than 0

Function | x < -1.45 | -1.45 < x < 3.45 | x > 3.45

(x - 3.45) | negative | negative | positive

(x + 1.45) | negative | positive | positive

(x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) | +ve | -ve | +ve

Hence, the function, f(x) is decreasing at the intervals (-1.45 < x < 3.45)

b) Find the local minimum and maximum values of f.

For the local maximum and minimum points,

f'(x) = 0

but f"(x) < 0 for a local maximum

And f"(x) > 0 for a local minimum

From (a) above

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15 = 0

(x - 3.45)(x + 1.45) = 0

x = 3.45 or x = -1.45

To now investigate the points that corresponds to a minimum and a maximum point, we need f"(x)

f"(x) = 6x - 6

At x = -1.45,

f"(x) = (6×-1.45) - 6 = -14.7 < 0

Hence, x = -1.45 corresponds to a maximum point

At x = 3.45

f"(x) = (6×3.45) - 6 = 14.7 > 0

Hence, x = 3.45 corresponds to a minimum point.

So, at minimum point, x = 3.45

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

f(3.45) = 3.45³ - 6(3.45²) - 15(3.45) + 4

= -78.101375 = -78.1

At maximum point, x = -1.45

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

f(-1.45) = (-1.45)³ - 6(-1.45)² - 15(-1.45) + 4

= 10.086375 = 10.1

c) Find the inflection point.

The inflection point is the point where the curve changes from concave up to concave down and vice versa.

This occurs at the point f"(x) = 0

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

f'(x) = 3x² - 6x - 15

f"(x) = 6x - 6

At inflection point, f"(x) = 0

f"(x) = 6x - 6 = 0

6x = 6

x = 1

At this point where x = 1, f(x) will be

f(x) = x³ - 6x² - 15x + 4

f(1) = 1³ - 6(1²) - 15(1) + 4 = -16

Hence, the inflection point is at (x, y) = (1, -16)

- Find the interval on which f is concave up.

The curve is said to be concave up when on a given interval, the graph of the function always lies above its tangent lines on that interval. In other words, if you draw a tangent line at any given point, then the graph seems to curve upwards, away from the line.

At the interval where the curve is concave up, f"(x) > 0

f"(x) = 6x - 6 > 0

6x > 6

x > 1

- Find the interval on which f is concave down.

A curve/function is said to be concave down on an interval if, on that interval, the graph of the function always lies below its tangent lines on that interval. That is the graph seems to curve downwards, away from its tangent line at any given point.

At the interval where the curve is concave down, f"(x) < 0

f"(x) = 6x - 6 < 0

6x < 6

x < 1

Hope this Helps!!!
