Relative extrema occur where the derivative is zero (at least for your polynomial function).
So taking the derivative we get
<span>20<span>x3</span>−3<span>x2</span>+6=0
</span><span>
This is a 3rd degree equation, now if we are working with complex numbers this equation is guaranteed to have 3 solutions by the fundamental theorem of algebra. But the number of real roots are 1 which can be found out by using Descartes' rule of signs. So the maximum number of relative extrema are 1.</span>
1/2 * 3 = 1.5 oz of meatloaf
3/4 * 3 = 2.25 oz of mashed potatoes
1/3 * 2 = 0.67 oz of green beans
1.5 + 2.25 + 0.67 = 4.42
Stacy consumed approximately 4.42 oz of solid food.
<em>Answer:</em>
<em>There would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>
<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
<em>Since lionfish are considered an invasive species, with an annual growth rate of 67%, ya scientist estimates there are 8,000 lionfish in a certain bay after the first year, A) to write the explicit equation for f (n) that represents the number of lionfish in the bay after n years; B) determine how many lionfish will be in the bay after 6 years; and C) if scientists remove 1,200 fish per year from the bay after the first year, determine what is the recursive equation for f (n); the following calculations must be performed:</em>
<em></em>
<em>A)</em>
<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ n = f </em>
<em>B)</em>
<em>8000 x 1.67 ^ 6 = X</em>
<em>8000 x 21.691961596369 = X</em>
<em>173,535.692770952 = X </em>
<em>C)</em>
<em>(8000 - 1200 x 1 ^ n) x 1.67 ^ n = f</em>
<em>Therefore, there would be 173,535 lionfish after 6 years.</em>
Answer:
33
Step-by-step explanation:
If m = Mother's age and d = daughter's age, we can make the following equations
m = 3d
m + d = 44
Now, using substitution, we can substitute m for 3d in the second equation:
3d + d = 44, 4d = 44, d = 11
Then, we can plug d into the first equation: m = 3(11) = 33
