Problem 1

<h3>Answer: Choice C)  1/2</h3>

--------------------

Explanation:

Let's plug 8 into f(x)

f(x) = \frac{x+3}{x^2-4x-21}\\\\f(8) = \frac{8+3}{8^2-4(8)-21}\\\\f(8) = \frac{8+3}{64-32-21}\\\\f(8) = \frac{11}{11}\\\\f(8) = 1\\\\

Repeat for g(x)

g(x) = \log_{4}(x)\\\\g(8) = \log_{4}(8)\\\\g(8) = \frac{\log(8)}{\log(4)}\\\\g(8) = \frac{\log(2^3)}{\log(2^2)}\\\\g(8) = \frac{3*\log(2)}{2*\log(2)}\\\\g(8) = \frac{3}{2}\\\\

I used the change of base formula in the third step.

Lastly, we subtract the results like so

(g-f)(x) = g(x) - f(x)\\\\(g-f)(8) = g(8) - f(8)\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{3}{2} - 1\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{2}\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{3-2}{2}\\\\(g-f)(8) = \frac{1}{2}\\\\

Problem 2

<h3>Answer: Choice A)  8</h3>

--------------------

Explanation:

Through trial and error (I recommend the rational root theorem), you should find that the roots of R(x) are:  -1, 3, and 8

We'll only focus on positive x values. So we focus on the roots 3 and 8.

It turns out that the R(x) curve dips below the x axis when x is between 3 and 8. When x > 8 is when R(x) is positive and goes upward forever. This represents when the company is making money.

The company does make money when x is between 0 and 3; however, this is a short timespan compared to the other interval. So it's much more effective and realistic to say that the company makes money after 8 days.

In other words, yes the company makes money between day 0 and day 3, but from day 3 to day 8 is when the company loses money. Ultimately the company is profitable again when it's beyond day 8.

A college student completed some courses worth 3 credits and some
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

  • A. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Note:</em></u><em> It seems typo in the question. 5% should read 59.</em>

Let 3 credit courses = x, 4 credit courses = y

<u>As per  given we have following equations:</u>

  • x + y = 18
  • 3x + 4y = 59

<u>Solve the system by elimination. Multiply the first equation by 4 and subtract the second one:</u>

  • 4(x + y) - (3x + 4y) = 4(18) - 59
  • 4x + 4y - 3x - 4y = 72 - 59
  • x = 13

The answer is 13

Correct choice is A

I'm not sure where to start and how to differentiate this.
Mazyrski [523]
The picture is not clear. let me assume y = (x^4)ln(x^3)

product rule :
d f(x)g(x) = f(x) dg(x) + g(x) df(x)

dy/dx = (x^4)d[ln(x^3)/dx] + d[(x^4)/dx] ln(x^3)
= (x^4)d[ln(x^3)/dx] + 4(x^3) ln(x^3)

look at d[ln(x^3)/dx]
d[ln(x^3)/dx]
= d[ln(x^3)/dx][d(x^3)/d(x^3)]
= d[ln(x^3)/d(x^3)][d(x^3)/dx]
= [1/(x^3)][3x^2] = 3/x
... chain rule (in detail)

end up with
dy/dx = (x^4)[3/x] + 4(x^3) ln(x^3)
= x^3[3 + 4ln(x^3)]
