Answer:

Minimum

Need to know:

Derivative power rule: d/dx xⁿ = nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative constant rule: d/dx c = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

A way to determine whether the quadratic equation has a maximum or a minimum is by graphing it.

If we look at the image below, we notice that the graph does not go to the bottom infinitely, but it keeps going up infinitely. This means there is a minimum to this graph.

Another way to determine this is through calculus.

First, we have to find the point of extremum

Find the derivative of the given equation

d/dx 4x² -  3x - 43

You can separate the terms and solve them individually

d/dx 4x² = 4(2)(x²⁻¹) = 8x

d/dx -3x = -3(1)(x¹⁻¹) = -3(1)(1) = -3

d/dx -43 = 0

y' = 8x - 3

Set y' to equal 0

8x - 3 = 0

Add 3 to both sides

8x - 3 = 0

    + 3   + 3

8x = 3

Divide both sides by 8

8x/8 = 3/8

x = 3/8

There is only one point of extremum

Now we have to test whether the equation changes from negative to positive or positive to negative

If it changes from negative to positive, that point is a minimum

If it changes from positive to negative, that point is a maximum

To find this, pick a number less than 3/8 and plug it in the place of x in the derivative equation. We'll use 0.

y' = 8(0) - 3 = -3

Now we will do the same for a number larger than 3/8. We'll use 1

y' = 8(1) - 3 = 5

Since the lesser side of 3/8 is negative and the larger side of 3/8 is positive, that means it changes from negative to positive. This point is a minimum.

A minimum because the function is positive. Positive quadratic functions always concave upwards (in a “bowl-like” shape), creating a curve/minimum at the bottom.

Hal is asked to write an exponential function to represent the value of a $10,000 investment decreasing at 2% annually. What
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

0.98

Step-by-step explanation:

The investment starts at $10,000.

$10,000 is 100% of the investment.

In the first year, it loses 2% of its value. That means that after 1 year, the value of 100% of $10,000 is decreased by 2% of $10,000.

100% - 2% = 98%

After the first year, the investment is worth 98% of the original value.

98% as a decimal is 0.98

Answer: 0.98

Please solve this 6-3 log2n=0
lutik1710 [3]
If that is 6-3(log2n)=0 then how you would go about solving it is by looking at log2n like x. In this case, for 6-3x=0,  x would have to  =2. So log2n has to =2. If log2n=2 and we assume that the base is 10 (because if there is no written base on a log then it is 10) then we need to rewrite the log to exponential form. Rewritten it's 10^2=2n. 100=2n, divide both sides by 2 and you get n=50.

Can someone help me find the relative maximum and minimum? please i really need help
bearhunter [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • relative maximum: -4
  • relative (and absolute) minimum: -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The curve has a relative maximum where values on either side are lower. This looks like a peak in the curve. There is one of those on the y-axis at y = -4.

The relative maximum is -4.

__

A relative minimum is a low point, where the curve is higher on either side. There are two of these, located symmetrically about the y-axis. The minimum appears to be about y = -5. (They might be at x = ± 1, but it is hard to tell.)

The relative minima are -5.

__

A minimum or maximum is absolute if no part of the curve is lower or higher. Here, the minima are absolute, while the maximum is only relative. (The left and right branches of the curve go higher than y=-4.)

_____

Identifying the points on the curve should be the easy part. Deciding what the coordinates are can be harder when the graph is like this one.

Helpppp pleaseeeeeeee
Katena32 [7]
The answer is B) multiply 3 by 3. With that 2 on top, that doesn't mean 3 times 2, that means multiply 3 by itself, however many times the number says, if that makes sense. So if there's a 2 above the 3, then that would be 3*3. If it was a 5 instead of a two, that would mean 3*3*3*3*3. Not 3*5.
