<h3>Answer: C. It makes less than Plant A.</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

At the 60 day mark, the following number of widgets are produced

  • Plant A = 300 widgets
  • Plant B = 100 widgets
  • Plant C = 200 widgets

The fourth plant makes 150 widgets, which is between B and C

We see that the fourth plant does not make more than Plant A, so we can rule out choice A.

The fourth plant does not make less than Plant B, which allows us to rule out choice B.

The only thing left is choice C. Sure enough, this statement is true since 150 widgets made at the fourth plant is less than 300 made in Plant A. This is why choice C is the answer.

Expand.<br> Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form.<br> (3c + 2)(c^2-6c-4)
evablogger [386]

Answer:

After expanding the polynomial (3c + 2)(c^2-6c-4) we get  3c^3-16c^2-24c-8

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to expand the polynomial (3c + 2)(c^2-6c-4)

Multiply the terms:

(3c + 2)(c^2-6c-4)\\=3c(c^2-6c-4)+2(c^2-6c-4)\\=3c^3-18c^2-12c+2c^2-12c-8\\=3c^3-18c^2+2c^2-12c-12c-8\\=3c^3-16c^2-24c-8

So, after expanding the polynomial (3c + 2)(c^2-6c-4) we get  3c^3-16c^2-24c-8

Consider the equation below. (If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.) f(x) = x4 ln(x) (a) Find the interval on which f is incre
Ainat [17]

Answer: (a) Interval where f is increasing: (0.78,+∞);

Interval where f is decreasing: (0,0.78);

(b) Local minimum: (0.78, - 0.09)

(c) Inflection point: (0.56,-0.06)

Interval concave up: (0.56,+∞)

Interval concave down: (0,0.56)

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To determine the interval where function f is increasing or decreasing, first derive the function:

f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[x^{4}ln(x)]

Using the product rule of derivative, which is: [u(x).v(x)]' = u'(x)v(x) + u(x).v'(x),

you have:

f'(x) = 4x^{3}ln(x) + x_{4}.\frac{1}{x}

f'(x) = 4x^{3}ln(x) + x^{3}

f'(x) = x^{3}[4ln(x) + 1]

Now, find the critical points: f'(x) = 0

x^{3}[4ln(x) + 1] = 0

x^{3} = 0

x = 0

and

4ln(x) + 1 = 0

ln(x) = \frac{-1}{4}

x = e^{\frac{-1}{4} }

x = 0.78

To determine the interval where f(x) is positive (increasing) or negative (decreasing), evaluate the function at each interval:

interval                 x-value                      f'(x)                       result

0<x<0.78                 0.5                 f'(0.5) = -0.22            decreasing

x>0.78                       1                         f'(1) = 1                  increasing

With the table, it can be concluded that in the interval (0,0.78) the function is decreasing while in the interval (0.78, +∞), f is increasing.

Note: As it is a natural logarithm function, there are no negative x-values.

(b) A extremum point (maximum or minimum) is found where f is defined and f' changes signs. In this case:

  • Between 0 and 0.78, the function decreases and at point and it is defined at point 0.78;
  • After 0.78, it increase (has a change of sign) and f is also defined;

Then, x=0.78 is a point of minimum and its y-value is:

f(x) = x^{4}ln(x)

f(0.78) = 0.78^{4}ln(0.78)

f(0.78) = - 0.092

The point of <u>minimum</u> is (0.78, - 0.092)

(c) To determine the inflection point (IP), calculate the second derivative of the function and solve for x:

f"(x) = \frac{d^{2}}{dx^{2}} [x^{3}[4ln(x) + 1]]

f"(x) = 3x^{2}[4ln(x) + 1] + 4x^{2}

f"(x) = x^{2}[12ln(x) + 7]

x^{2}[12ln(x) + 7] = 0

x^{2} = 0\\x = 0

and

12ln(x) + 7 = 0\\ln(x) = \frac{-7}{12} \\x = e^{\frac{-7}{12} }\\x = 0.56

Substituing x in the function:

f(x) = x^{4}ln(x)

f(0.56) = 0.56^{4} ln(0.56)

f(0.56) = - 0.06

The <u>inflection point</u> will be: (0.56, - 0.06)

In a function, the concave is down when f"(x) < 0 and up when f"(x) > 0, adn knowing that the critical points for that derivative are 0 and 0.56:

f"(x) =  x^{2}[12ln(x) + 7]

f"(0.1) = 0.1^{2}[12ln(0.1)+7]

f"(0.1) = - 0.21, i.e. <u>Concave</u> is <u>DOWN.</u>

f"(0.7) = 0.7^{2}[12ln(0.7)+7]

f"(0.7) = + 1.33, i.e. <u>Concave</u> is <u>UP.</u>
