Answer:

y=9/4x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope

m=(-5-4)/(-4-0)

m=-9/-4 = 9/4

next plug the slope and the point (-4,-5) into point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=-5

x1= -4

m=9/4

y- -5 = 9/4(x - -4)

y+5=9/4(x+4)

Distribute 9/4 first

y+5=9/4x + 9

subtract 5 on both sides

y=9/4x+4

Answer:

The maximum value of f(x) occurs at:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

And is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle f_{\text{max}}(x) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = x^a (2-x)^b \text{ where } a, b >0[/tex]

And we want to find the maximum value of f(x) on the interval [0, 2].

First, let's evaluate the endpoints of the interval:

[tex]\displaystyle f(0) = (0)^a(2-(0))^b = 0[/tex]

And:

[tex]\displaystyle f(2) = (2)^a(2-(2))^b = 0[/tex]

Recall that extrema occurs at a function's critical points. The critical points of a function at the points where its derivative is either zero or undefined. Thus, find the derivative of the function:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left[ x^a\left(2-x\right)^b\right][/tex]

By the Product Rule:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f'(x) &= \frac{d}{dx}\left[x^a\right] (2-x)^b + x^a\frac{d}{dx}\left[(2-x)^b\right]\\ \\ &=\left(ax^{a-1}\right)\left(2-x\right)^b + x^a\left(b(2-x)^{b-1}\cdot -1\right) \\ \\ &= x^a\left(2-x\right)^b \left[\frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x}\right] \end{aligned}[/tex]

Set the derivative equal to zero and solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle 0= x^a\left(2-x\right)^b \left[\frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x}\right][/tex]

By the Zero Product Property:

[tex]\displaystyle x^a (2-x)^b = 0\text{ or } \frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x} = 0[/tex]

The solutions to the first equation are x = 0 and x = 2.

First, for the second equation, note that it is undefined when x = 0 and x = 2.

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides by the denominators.

[tex]\displaystyle\left( \frac{a}{x} - \frac{b}{2-x} \right)\left((x(2-x)\right) = 0(x(2-x))[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle a(2-x) - b(x) = 0[/tex]

And solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 2a-ax-bx &= 0 \\ 2a &= ax+bx \\ 2a&= x(a+b) \\ \frac{2a}{a+b} &= x \end{aligned}[/tex]

So, our critical points are:

[tex]\displaystyle x = 0 , 2 , \text{ and } \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

We already know that f(0) = f(2) = 0.

For the third point, we can see that:

[tex]\displaystyle f\left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(2- \frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

This can be simplified to:

[tex]\displaystyle f\left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

Since a and b > 0, both factors must be positive. Thus, f(2a / (a + b)) > 0. So, this must be the maximum value.

To confirm that this is indeed a maximum, we can select values to test. Let a = 2 and b = 3. Then:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(x) = x^2(2-x)^3\left(\frac{2}{x} - \frac{3}{2-x}\right)[/tex]

The critical point will be at:

[tex]\displaystyle x= \frac{2(2)}{(2)+(3)} = \frac{4}{5}=0.8[/tex]

Testing x = 0.5 and x = 1 yields that:

[tex]\displaystyle f'(0.5) >0\text{ and } f'(1) <0[/tex]

Since the derivative is positive and then negative, we can conclude that the point is indeed a maximum.

Therefore, the maximum value of f(x) occurs at:

[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{2a}{a+b}[/tex]

And is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle f_{\text{max}}(x) = \left(\frac{2a}{a+b}\right)^a\left(\frac{2b}{a+b}\right)^b[/tex]

Answer:

15km

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it is well understood?

Answer:

5 times.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, look at the values of each line at the 1-hour mark.

For line A (the bicyclist), the distance is about 25 km.

For line B (the pedestrian), the distance is about 5 km.

To determine how many times greater the bicyclist distance is than the pedestrian, divide the values:

[tex]\frac{25\text{km}}{5\text{km}}=5[/tex]

Therefore, the distance covered by the bicyclist for 1 hour is 5 times greater than the distance covered by the pedestrian for the same amount of time.

Answer:

A (5)

Step-by-step explanation:

        c represents the slope and a and b represent the two shorter sides of the right angled triangle ( x,y)

       [tex]c^{2}[/tex] = [tex]-4^{2} + 3^{2}[/tex]

            = 16 + 9

             = 25,

therefore [tex]\sqrt{c^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex]

                   c = 5

The plane you want is parallel to another plane, x - y + z = -5, so they share a normal vector. In this case, it's ⟨1, -1, 1⟩.

The plane must also pass through the point (0, 4, 4) since it contains r(t). Then the equation of the plane is

⟨x, y - 4, z - 4⟩ • ⟨1, -1, 1⟩ = 0

x - (y - 4) + (z - 4) = 0

x - y + z = 0

Answer: x<24

Step-by-step explanation:

x, will stand for the variable for earnings and less than means it will not be higher nor the same as 24. Thus being leaves us with one sign. The open part facing 24 means that 24 is the bigger number therefore the smaller side represents that x has to be smaller than 24.

Answer:

$240,300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Overhead cost :

Answer:

2dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

one bag of popcorn is 4 dollars so 4 bags of popcorn is 16 plus 1 drink which is 2 dollars equal 18.

The cost of each popcorn is $4 and the cost of each drink will be $2.

The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.

If two bags of popcorn and three drinks cost $14, and four bags of popcorn and one drink costs $18.

Let the cost of each popcorn be 'x' and the cost of each drink be 'y'. Then the equations are given as,

2x + 3y = 14           ...1

4x + y = 18            ...2

From equations 1 and 2, then we have

2x + 3(18 - 4x) = 14

2x + 54 - 12x = 14

10x = 40

x = $4

Then the value of the variable 'y' is calculated as,

y = 18 - 4(4)

y = 18 - 16

y = $2

The cost of each popcorn is $4 and the cost of each drink will be $2.

The population of the town after 8 month will be 2,40,000.

Exponential growth is a pattern of data that shows greater increases with passing time, creating the curve of an exponential function.

Let P be the population of the town after 8 months

According to the given question

The current population of the town = 10,000.

Also, the population of the town is changing at the rate of [tex]4+5t^{\frac{2}{3} }[/tex].

Therefore, the population of the town after 8 month is given by the exponential function

[tex]P = 10000(4+5t^{\frac{2}{3} } )[/tex]

Substitute t =8 in the above equation

⇒[tex]P = 10000(4 + 5(8)^{\frac{2}{3} } )[/tex]

⇒[tex]P = 10000(4 + 5(2^{3}) ^{\frac{2}{3} } )[/tex]

⇒[tex]P = 10000(4+5(4))[/tex]

⇒[tex]P = 10000(24)[/tex]

⇒[tex]P = 240000[/tex]

Hence, the population of the town after 8 month will be 2,40,000.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I honestly have no idea what you mean by answer by formula, but I'm going to give it my best. I began by squaring both sides to get:

(a² - b²) tan²θ = b² and then distributed to get:

a² tan²θ - b² tan²θ = b² and then got the b terms on the side to get:

a² tan²θ = b² + b² tan²θ and then changed the tans to sin/cos to get:

[tex]\frac{a^2sin^2\theta}{cos^2\theta}=b^2+\frac{b^2sin^2\theta}{cos^2\theta}[/tex] and isolated the sin-squared on the left to get:

[tex]a^2sin^2\theta=cos^2\theta(b^2+\frac{b^2sin^2\theta}{cos^2\theta})[/tex] and distributed to get:

***[tex]a^2sin^2\theta=b^2cos^2\theta+b^2sin^2\theta[/tex]*** and factored the right side to get:

[tex]a^2sin^2\theta=b^2(sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta)[/tex] and utilized a trig Pythagorean identity to get:

[tex]a^2sin^2\theta=b^2(1)[/tex] and then solved for sinθ in the following way:

[tex]sin^2\theta=\frac{b^2}{a^2}[/tex] so

[tex]sin\theta=\frac{b}{a}[/tex] This, along with the *** expression above will be important. I'm picking up at the *** to solve for cosθ:

[tex]a^2sin^2\theta=b^2cos^2\theta+b^2sin^2\theta[/tex] and get the cos²θ alone on the right by subtracting to get:

[tex]a^2sin^2\theta-b^2sin^2\theta=b^2cos^2\theta[/tex] and divide by b² to get:

[tex]\frac{a^2sin^2\theta}{b^2}-sin^2\theta=cos^2\theta[/tex] and factor on the left to get:

[tex]sin^2\theta(\frac{a^2}{b^2}-1)=cos^2\theta[/tex] and take the square root of both sides to get:

[tex]\sqrt{sin^2\theta(\frac{a^2}{b^2}-1) }=cos\theta[/tex] and simplify to get:

[tex]\frac{sin\theta}{b}\sqrt{a^2-b^2}=cos\theta[/tex] and go back to the identity we found for sinθ and sub it in to get:

[tex]\frac{\frac{b}{a} }{b}\sqrt{a^2-b^2}=cos\theta[/tex] and simplifying a bit gives us:

[tex]\frac{1}{a}\sqrt{a^2-b^2}=cos\theta[/tex]

The probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Clue is a board game in which you must deduce three details surrounding a murder, and in the original game of Clue, the guilty person can be chosen from 66 people, and there are 66 different possible weapons and 99 possible rooms, and at one point in the game, you have narrowed the possibilities down to 44 people, 55 weapons, and 77 rooms, to determine what is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices , and the guess being correct, the following calculation must be performed:

(1 / (44x55x77)) x 100 = X

(1 / 186,340) x 100 = X

0.0005366 = X

Therefore, the probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.
