Find the value of $x$ that maximizes $$f(x) = \log (-20x + 12\sqrt{x}).$$ If there is no maximum value, write "NONE".

1 answer:

5 0

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>

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

Here we will apply rule of 3...

This formula, A = πR², its for the whole circle, that is, 360° (2π)

We want the area of only a part, that is, a circular sector whose angle π/6

sector area

2π ----- πR²

π/6 ----- X

2πX = (π/6).πR²

2πX = π²R²/6

X = π²R²/12π

If Ronisha multiply the area by 1/12 she will get the area of sector with angle of π/6

.<br> Simplify (−34.67)0

maksim [4K]

If it's -34*0 then it is equal to 0 because anything times 0 is 0.

If it were -34.67 to the power of 0, then It would have been equal to -1. This is because anything to the power of 0 is 1. In this case though the base is negative so it would be -1.

But the answer is 0.

The parallel dotplots below display the girths (belly

liraira [26]

Answer:

The standard deviation for the distribution of girths is

about the same for both male and female pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We will interprete the dotplots

For the Male pigs

24, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 26, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 28, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 32

Range

Maximum value - Minimum value

= 32 - 24

= 8

IQR = Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

Q1 formula = 1/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 1/4(25 + 1)

= 1/4(26)

= 26/4

= 6.5

This mean the value is between the 6th and 7th value

6th value = 26

7th value = 26

Q1 = 26 + 26/2

Q1 = 26

Q3 formula = 3/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 3/4(25 + 1)

= 3/4(26)

= 78/4

= 19.5

This mean the value is between the 19th and 20th value

19th value = 30

20th value = 30

Q3= 30+ 30/2

= 30

IQR = 30 - 26

= 4

Standard deviation

Mean

First we find the mean

= 24+ 26+26+ 26+ 26+ 26+26+28+ 28+ 28+ 28+28+ 28+ 28+28+ 28+28+28+30+ 30+30+ 30+30+30+32/28

= 700/25

= 28

Standard deviation Formula = √(x - mean)²/n - 1

= √[(24-28)² + (26- 28)² + (26 -28)² + (26 - 28)² +................ (32 - 28)²]/25 - 1

= √(16 + 4 + 4+ 4+ 4+4+ 4+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+0+0+ 4+ 4+4+4+4+ 4+ 16)/25 - 1

= √80/25 - 1

=√3.333333333

Range:

Maximum value - Minimum value

= 29 - 21

IQR

IQR = Interquartile range = Q3 - Q1

Q1 formula = 1/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 1/4(25 + 1)

= 1/4(26)

= 26/4

= 6.5

This mean the value is between the 6th and 7th value

6th value = 23

7th value = 23

Q1 = 23 + 23/2

Q1 = 23

Q3 formula = 3/4(n + 1)th

=n = 25

= 3/4(25 + 1)

= 3/4(26)

= 78/4

= 19.5

This mean the value is between the 19th and 20th value

19th value = 27

20th value = 27

Q3= 27+ 27/2

Q3 = 27

IQR = 27 - 23

= 4

First we find the Mean

=(21+23+23+23+23+23+23+25+ 25+ 25+ 25+25+ 25+ 25+ 25+25+25+25+27+27+ 27+27+27+ 27+29)/25

= 625/25

= 25

Standard deviation Formula = √(x - mean)²/n - 1

= √[(21-25)² + (23- 25)² + (23 -25)² + (23 - 25)² +................ (29 - 25)²]/25 - 1

= √(16 + 4 + 4+ 4+ 4+4+ 4+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+ 0+ 0+ 0+0+0+0+ 4+ 4+4+4+4+ 4+ 16)/25 - 1

= √80/25 - 1

=√3.333333333

1.825741858

Looking at the calculation above and comparing both the girths from the male and female

We can conclude that: The standard deviation for the distribution of girths is

about the same for both male and female pigs which is 1.825741858

Basile [38]

Answer:

7.5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

P = $5000,

R = 4.25%,

A = $6593.75,

N =?

SI = A - P = 6593.75 - 5000 =$1593. 75

$\because \: SI = \frac{ PNR}{100} \\ \\ \therefore \: 1593.75 = \frac{5000 \times N \times 4.25}{100} \\ \\ \therefore \: 1593.75 \times 100 = 21,250 \times N \\ \\ N = \frac{159375}{21250} \\ \\ N = 7.5 \: years \:$
