Answer:
the answer to the question would be 7
7.675 inches of rain was the total amount in the two weeks
The correct way is to plug in the answer back into the equation and see if it results in the correct solution.
<span>The graph you plotted is the graph of f ' (x) and NOT f(x) itself. </span>
Draw a number line. On the number line plot x = 3 and x = 4. These values make f ' (x) equal to zero. Pick a value to the left of x = 3, say x = 0. Plug in x = 0 into the derivative function to get
f ' (x) = (x-4)(6-2x)
f ' (0) = (0-4)(6-2*0)
f ' (0) = -24
So the function is decreasing on the interval to the left of x = 3. Now plug in a value between 3 and 4, say x = 3.5
<span>f ' (x) = (x-4)(6-2x)
</span><span>f ' (3.5) = (3.5-4)(6-2*3.5)
</span>f ' (3.5) = 0.5
The function is increasing on the interval 3 < x < 4. The junction where it changes from decreasing to increasing is at x = 3. This is where the min happens.
So the final answer is C) 3
Its a correlation not a causality, therefore the answer is A
