The value of the derivative at the maximum or minimum for a continuous function must be zero.

<h3>What happens with the derivative at the maximum of minimum?</h3>

So, remember that the derivative at a given value gives the slope of a tangent line to the curve at that point.

Now, also remember that maximums or minimums are points where the behavior of the curve changes (it stops going up and starts going down or things like that).

If you draw the tangent line to these points, you will see that you end with horizontal lines. And the slope of a horizontal line is zero.

So we conclude that the value of the derivative at the maximum or minimum for a continuous function must be zero.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

d) The difference exists due to chance since the test statistic is small

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

Population mean = 178 cm

the sample mean = 177.5 cm

the standard deviation = 2

the sample size = 25

The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis can be computed as:

Null hypothesis:

$H_o: \mu = 178$

Alternative hypothesis:

$H_1: \mu \neq 178$

The t-test statistics is determined by using the formula:

$t = \dfrac{X - \mu}{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$t = \dfrac{177.5 - 178}{\dfrac{2}{\sqrt{25}}}$

$t = \dfrac{-0.5}{\dfrac{2}{5}}}$

$\mathbf{t= -1.25}$

Degree of freedom df = n- 1

Degree of freedom df = 25 - 1

Degree of freedom df = 24

At the level of significance ∝ = 0.05, the critical value = 2.064

Decision rule: To reject the null hypothesis if the test statistics is greater than the critical value at 0.05 level of significance

Conclusion: We fail to reject the null hypothesis since the test statistics is lesser than the critical value and we conclude that the difference exists due to chance since the test statistic is small

PRACTICE ANOTHER A piece of wire 18 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equations

4x + 3y = 18 where x = the side of the square and y = the side of the triangle

For the areas:

A = x^2 + √3y/2* y/2

A = x^2 + √3y^2/4

From the first equation x = (18 - 3y)/4

So substituting in the area equation:

A = [ (18 - 3y)/4]^2 + √3y^2/4

A = (18 - 3y)^2 / 16 + √3y^2/4

Now for maximum / minimum area the derivative = 0 so we have

A' = 1/16 * 2(18 - 3y) * -3 + 1/4 * 2√3 y = 0

-3/8 (18 - 3y) + √3 y /2 = 0

-27/4 + 9y/8 + √3y /2 = 0

-54 + 9y + 4√3y = 0

y = 54 / 15.93

= 3.39 metres

So x = (18-3(3.39) / 4 = 1.96.

This is a minimum value for x.

So the total length of wire the square for minimum total area is 4 * 1.96

= 7.84 m

There is no maximum area as the equation for the total area is a quadratic with a positive leading coefficient.

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Chevy Malibu hybrid = 6.8

Ford mustang = 9.6

Nissan Pathfinder = 10.8

Toyota Corolla = 6.3

1. Chevy Malibu hybrid to Toyota Corolla = 6.8 to 6.3

= 6.8 : 6.3

= 6.8 / 6.3

2. Nissan Pathfinder to Ford mustang = 10.8 to 9.6

= 10.8 : 9.6

= 10.8 / 9.6

= 2.7 / 2.4

3. Toyota Corolla to Nissan Pathfinder = 6.3 to 10.8

= 6.3 : 10.8

= 6.3 / 10.8

4. Ford mustang to Chevy Malibu hybrid = 9.6 to 6.8

= 9.6 : 6.8

= 9.6 / 6.8

= 2.4 / 1.7
