Answer:
max{x²-4x²+5} = 5 at x = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the critical numbers by finding the first derivative of f(x), set it to 0 and solve for x.

We get:

So the critical number is x = 0.
2. Evaluate the first derivative by plugging in the critical number and see if the derivative is positive or negative on both sides:
is positive when the x < 0 (for example: -6*(-1)=+)
is negative when the x > 0 (for example: -6*(1)=-)
Therefore, you have a local maximum.
Now just get the Y value by plugging in the critical number in the original function. 
local maximum is (0,5)
1.
"The spending limit on John’s credit card is given by the function f(x)=15,000+1.5x"
means that if the monthly income of John is $ 5,000 ,he can spend at most
f(5,000)=15,000+1.5*5,000=15,000+ 7,500=22, 500 (dollars)
Or for example
if Johns monthly income is $8,000, then he can spend at most
f(8,000)=15,000+1.5*8,000=15,000+ 12,000=27,000 (dollars)
2.
Now, assume that the maximum amount that John can spend is y.
Then, y=15,000+1.5x
we can express x, the monthly income, in terms of y by isolating x:
y=15,000+1.5x
1.5x = y-15,000
X=y-15,000/1.5
thus, in functional notation, x, the monthly income, is a function , say g, of variable y, the max amount:
X=g(y) y-15000/1.5
since we generally use the letter x for the variable of a function, we write g again as:
G (x) x-15000/1.5
tells us that if the maximum amount that John can spend is 50,000 $, then his monthly income is 23,333 $.
3.
If John's limit is $60,000, his monthly income is
G(600,000)=60,000-15,000/ 1.5=45,000/1.5 =30,000
dollars.
Answer: $ 30,000
Remark: g is called the inverse function of f, since it undoes what f does.
instead of g(x), we could use the notation
What does part a mean i dont understand
Answer:
Adding the exponents
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiplying exponential terms with the same base
To multiply exponents with same base , we use exponential property

When we multiply exponents with same base then we add the exponents
So, adding the exponents best explains to simplify the expression that has same base with exponents .
