ANSWER

See below

EXPLANATION

Part a)

The given function is

f(x) =  {x}^{5}  -  {x}^{3}  + 6

From the graph, we can observe that, the absolute maximum occurs at (-0.7746,6.1859) and the absolute minimum occurs at (0.7746,5.8141).

b) Using calculus, we find the first derivative of the given function.

f'(x) = 5 {x}^{4} - 3 {x}^{2}

At turning point f'(x)=0.

5 {x}^{4} - 3 {x}^{2}  = 0

This implies that,

{x}^{2} (5 {x}^{2}  - 3) = 0

{x}^{2}  = 0 \: or \: 5 {x}^{2}  - 3 = 0

x =  - \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5}   \: or \: x = 0 \:  \: or \: x =\frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5}

We plug this values into the original function to obtain the y-values of the turning points

(   -  \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5}  , \frac{1}{125} ( 6 \sqrt{15}  +750)) \:and \:  (0, - 6) \: and\: (   \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5}  , \frac{1}{125} ( - 6 \sqrt{15}  +750))

We now use the second derivative test to determine the absolute maximum minimum on the interval [-1,1]

f''(x) = 20 {x}^{3}  - 6x

f''( -  \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} ) \:   <  \: 0

Hence

(   -  \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5}  , \frac{1}{125} ( 6 \sqrt{15}  + 750))

is a maximum point.

f''( \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5} ) \:    >  \: 0

Hence

(     \frac{ \sqrt{15} }{5}  , \frac{1}{125} (- 6 \sqrt{15}  + 750))

is a minimum point.

f''(0) \: =\: 0

Hence (0,-6) is a point of inflexion

Which is the graph of linear inequality x – 2y ≥ –12?
galben [10]

Answer:

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

x-2y≥-12

-2y≥-x-12

y≤0.5x+6

has to be a solid line since y is less than or equal to 0.5x+6

so, options 1 and 3 are not applicable

also, in y≤0.5x+6 , y is less than or equal to this line, thus it only exists on the line and to the right of it (below it)

so, option 2 is wrong also, leaving us with option 4 or D, which in this case is the answer

I attached a file of this inequality's graph to prove my answer once more

"a guest orders a drink that contains 1½ ounces of 80-proof vodka and 12 ounces of beer. approximately how many drinks does this
frosja888 [35]
A guest orders a drink = <span>1½ ounces of 80-proof vodka and 12 ounces of beer
it means it contains 2 drinks.
Because 3 ounces of 80 proof vodka is considered as 2 drinks and half of that will be considered as 1 drink, and 12 ounces of beer is considered as one drink so the total drinks this beverage contains is two drinks.</span>

Divide 6K2 - 15k-5 by 3k​
icang [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

6k^2

------- = 2k; and:

 3k

-15k

------- = -5

 3k

-5 cannot be evenly divided by 3k, so there's a remainder instead.

6k^2 - 15k - 5

-------------------- = 2k -5 with remainder -5.

         3k

To solve the equation y – 4 = 9 for y, what operation must be applied to both sides in order to isolate the variable y?
inna [77]

Answer:

y-4=9

The opposite of subtraction is addition, so you would have to add 4 to both sides:

y-4+4=9+4

y=13
