Find the value of $x$ that maximizes $$f(x) = \log (-20x + 12\sqrt{x}).$$ If there is no maximum value, write "NONE".
kakasveta [241]
The function is written as:
f(x) = log(-20x + 12√x)
To find the maximum value, differentiate the equation in terms of x, then equate it to zero. The solution is as follows.

The formula for differentiation would be:
d(log u)/dx = du/u ln(10)
Thus,
d/dx = (-20 + 6/√x)/(-20x + 12√x)(ln 10) = 0
-20 + 6/√x = 0
6/√x = 20
x = (6/20)² = 9/100

Thus,
f(x) =  log(-20(9/100)+ 12√(9/100)) = 0.2553

<em>The maximum value of the function is 0.2553.</em>

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer: 0.9013

Step-by-step explanation:

Given mean, u = 10, standard deviation =8

P(X) =P(Z= X - u /S)

We are to find P(X> or =12)

P(X> or = 12) = P(Z> 12-10/8)

P(Z>=2/8) = P(Z >=0.25)

P(Z) = 1 - P(Z<= 0.25)

We read off Z= 0.25 from the normal distribution table

P(Z) = 1 - 0.0987 = 0.9013

Therefore P(X> or=12) = 0.9013

Note the question was given as an incomplete question the correct and complete question had to be searched online via Google. So the data used are those gotten from the online the Googled question.

Given f(x) and g(x) = f(k⋅x), use the graph to determine the value of k.
yan [13]

Answer:

The value of k is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) passes through the points (0,4) and (-6,-2)

So the equation of the function is \frac{y-4}{4-(-2)} = \frac{x-0}{0-(-6)}

⇒ y = x + 4 ....... (1)

Again the function g(x) passes through the points (0,4) and (-2,-2).

Therefore, the equation of g(x) will be  \frac{y-4}{4-(-2)} =\frac{x-0}{0-(-2)}

⇒ y = 3x + 4

Therefore, g(x) = 3x + 4 = f(3x) {from equation (1).

So, the value of k is 3. (Answer)

(1 point) Rework problem 15 in section 2 of Chapter 5 of your textbook about the growing suburb and the declining city using the
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of years. The suburb population is growing at a rate of 5000 per year after x years, it can be represented by the equation:

320000 + 5000x

The city population is declining at a rate of 14000 per year after x years, it can be represented by the equation:

624000 - 14000x

The number of years for the city and suburb population to be equal can be gotten from:

320000 + 5000x = 624000 - 14000x

14000x + 5000x = 624000 - 320000

19000x = 304000

x = 304000 / 19000

x = 16

In 16 years the populations of the suburb and the city be equal

the daily profit in dollars of a specialty cake shop is described by the function P(x)=-3x^2+168x-1920. Where x is the number of
forsale [732]

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function:

f(x)=-3x^{2} +168x-1920

where a=-3, b=168 and c=-1920

In order to calculate the maxium profit for the company, and how many cakes should be prepared in order to reach it, we have to calculate where the parabola's vertex is ubicated. To do so, we use the following formula:

Xv= \frac{-b}{2a}

Xv= \frac{-168}{2.(-3)}

Xv= \frac{-168}{2.(-3)}

Xv= 28

So 28 cakes should be prepared per day in order to maximize profit.
