How many points on the graph represent a relative minimum? please help

Mathematics

Tasya [4]2 years ago

<h3>Answer:  1</h3>

Point B is the only relative minimum here.

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

Explanation:

A relative minimum is a valley point, or lowest point, in a given neighborhood. Points to the left and right of the valley point must be larger than the relative min (or else you'd have some other lower point to negate its relative min-ness).

Point B is the only point that fits the description mentioned in the first paragraph. For a certain neighborhood, B is the lowest valley point so that's why we have a relative min here.

There's only 1 such valley point in this graph.

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

Side notes:

  • Points A and D are relative maximums since they are the highest point in their respective regions. They represent the highest peaks of their corresponding mountains.
  • Points A, C and E are x intercepts or roots. This is where the graph either touches the x axis or crosses the x axis.
  • The phrasing "a certain neighborhood" is admittedly vague. It depends on further context of the problem. There are multiple ways to set up a region or interval of points to consider. Though visually you can probably spot a relative min fairly quickly by just looking at the valley points.
  • If you have a possible relative min, look directly to the left and right of this point. if you can find a lower point, then the candidate point is <u>not</u> a relative min.

Nadia finds out that her favorite horse family population is increasing at a constant rate. The horse family was at 24 in 2011 a
Dahasolnce [82]
\begin{gathered} y-24=\frac{8}{3}(x-2011) \\ \text{There will be 48 horses in 2020 (option A)} \end{gathered}Explanation:

The initial number of horses = 24

year = 2011

Coordinates (2011, 24)

when the number of horses became 32, year was 2014

Coordinates (2014, 32)

We find the slope = rate of change

slope = change in number of horses/change in number of years

slope = (32-24)/(2014-2011)

slope = 8/3

The point slope formula:

\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ U\sin gpoint\colon x_1=2011,y_1=24 \end{gathered}y-24=\frac{8}{3}(x-2011)

The number of horses in year 2020

using points: (2011, 24) and (2020, y), we equate with the slope since it is constant for any two points on this model.

8/3 = (y - 24)/(2020 - 2011)

8/3 = (y - 24)/9

cross multiply:

8(9) = 3(y - 24)

72 = 3y - 72

72 + 72 = 3y

144 = 3y

144/3 = 3y/3

y = 48

Hence, there will be 48horses in 2020 (option A)

What is a sphere made up of?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
In my opinion, the correct answer among the choices listed above is option B. A sphere made up of many circular cross sections. When you cut through a plane at any angle or side, you will see that the plane made will always be a circle.
