Answer:

$225

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 300 is also 1/4 of 300 which is 75

you take the discounted price away from the original price

300-75=225

25% of 300

25x300/100 = 7500/100 = 75

25% of $300 is $75

Jennifer is driving her boat West at a speed of 12 mph. The current is moving due South at 5 mph.

butalik [34]

Speed is the rate of distance over time.

The speed of the boat is 13mph south-west

Given

$v_1 = 12mph$ --- west

$v_2 = 5mph$ -- south

The speed is illustrated with the attached image

Because both speeds act at a diagonal, the speed (v) of the boat is calculated using Pythagoras theorem as follows:

$v^2 = 12^2 + 5^2$

$v^2 = 144 + 25$

$v^2 = 169$

Take square root

$v = \sqrt{169$

$v = 13$

Hence, the speed of the boat is 13mph south-west

I have calculus problems that I need help with.

a. Note that $f(x)=x^ne^{-2x}$ is continuous for all $x$ . If $f(x)$ attains a maximum at $x=3$ , then $f'(3) = 0$ . Compute the derivative of $f$ .

$f'(x) = nx^{n-1} e^{-2x} - 2x^n e^{-2x}$

Evaluate this at $x=3$ and solve for $n$ .

$n\cdot3^{n-1} e^{-6} - 2\cdot3^n e^{-6} = 0$

$n\cdot3^{n-1} = 2\cdot3^n$

$\dfrac n2 = \dfrac{3^n}{3^{n-1}}$

$\dfrac n2 = 3 \implies \boxed{n=6}$

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

$f(x) = x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f'(x) = 6x^5 e^{-2x} - 2x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(x) = 30x^4 e^{-2x} - 24x^5 e^{-2x} + 4x^6 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(3) = -\dfrac{486}{e^6} < 0$

The second derivative at $x=3$ is negative, which indicate the function is concave downward, which in turn means that $f(3)$ is indeed a (local) maximum.

b. When $n=4$ , we have derivatives

$f(x) = x^4 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f'(x) = 4x^3 e^{-2x} - 2x^4 e^{-2x} \\\\ \implies f''(x) = 12x^2 e^{-2x} - 16x^3e^{-2x} + 4x^4e^{-2x}$

Inflection points can occur where the second derivative vanishes.

$12x^2 e^{-2x} - 16x^3 e^{-2x} + 4x^4 e^{-2x} = 0$

$12x^2 - 16x^3 + 4x^4 = 0$

$4x^2 (3 - 4x + x^2) = 0$

$4x^2 (x - 3) (x - 1) = 0$

Then we have three possible inflection points when $x=0$ , $x=1$ , or $x=3$ .

To decide which are actually inflection points, check the sign of $f''$ in each of the intervals $(-\infty,0)$ , $(0, 1)$ , $(1, 3)$ , and $(3,\infty)$ . It's enough to check the sign of any test value of $x$ from each interval.
