(e) Use the information from parts (a)-(d) to sketch the graph of f.
Answers
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume the function is [tex]f(x)=1+\frac{5}{x}-\frac{4}{x^2}[/tex]
A) The vertical asymptotes are located where the denominator is equal to 0. Therefore, [tex]x=0[/tex] is the only vertical asymptote.
B) Set the first derivative equal to 0 and solve:
[tex]f(x)=1+\frac{5}{x}-\frac{4}{x^2}[/tex]
[tex]f'(x)=-\frac{5}{x^2}+\frac{8}{x^3}[/tex]
[tex]0=-\frac{5}{x^2}+\frac{8}{x^3}[/tex]
[tex]0=-5x+8[/tex]
[tex]5x=8[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex]
Now we test where the function is increasing and decreasing on each side. I will use 2 and 1 to test this:
[tex]f'(2)=-\frac{5}{2^2}+\frac{8}{2^3}=-\frac{5}{4}+\frac{8}{8}=-\frac{5}{4}+1=-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
[tex]f'(1)=-\frac{5}{1^2}+\frac{8}{1^3}=-\frac{5}{1}+\frac{8}{1}=-5+8=3[/tex]
Therefore, the function increases on the interval [tex](0,\frac{8}{5})[/tex] and decreases on the interval [tex](-\infty,0),(\frac{8}{5},\infty)[/tex].
C) Since we determined that the slope is 0 when [tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex] from the first derivative, plugging it into the original function tells us where the extrema are. Therefore, [tex]f(\frac{8}{5})=1+\frac{5}{\frac{8}{5}}-\frac{4}{\frac{8}{5}^2 }=\frac{41}{16}[/tex], meaning there's an extreme at the point [tex](\frac{8}{5},\frac{41}{16})[/tex], but is it a maximum or minimum? To answer that, we will plug in [tex]x=\frac{8}{5}[/tex] into the second derivative which is [tex]f''(x)=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]. If [tex]f''(x)>0[/tex], then it's a minimum. If [tex]f''(x)<0[/tex], then it's a maximum. If [tex]f''(x)=0[/tex], the test fails. So, [tex]f''(\frac{8}{5})=\frac{10}{\frac{8}{5}^3}-\frac{24}{\frac{8}{5}^4}=-\frac{625}{512}<0[/tex], which means [tex](\frac{8}{5},\frac{41}{16})[/tex] is a local maximum.
D) Now set the second derivative equal to 0 and solve:
[tex]f''(x)=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]
[tex]0=\frac{10}{x^3}-\frac{24}{x^4}[/tex]
[tex]0=10x-24[/tex]
[tex]-10x=-24[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{24}{10}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex]
We then test where [tex]f''(x)[/tex] is negative or positive by plugging in test values. I will use -1 and 3 to test this:
[tex]f''(-1)=\frac{10}{(-1)^3}-\frac{24}{(-1)^4}=-34<0[/tex], so the function is concave down on the interval [tex](-\infty,0)\cup(0,\frac{12}{5})[/tex]
[tex]f''(3)=\frac{10}{3^3}-\frac{24}{3^4}=\frac{2}{27}>0[/tex], so the function is concave up on the interval [tex](\frac{12}{5},\infty)[/tex]
The inflection point is where concavity changes, which can be determined by plugging in [tex]x=\frac{12}{5}[/tex] into the original function, which would be [tex]f(\frac{12}{5})=1+\frac{5}{\frac{12}{5}}+\frac{4}{\frac{12}{5}^2 }=\frac{43}{18}[/tex], or [tex](\frac{12}{5},\frac{43}{18})[/tex].

Explanation:
We'll need to compute h(f(x)) and f(h(x)) to see if we get x each time.
[tex]h(x) = 9x-4\\\\h(f(x)) = 9(f(x))-4\\\\h(f(x)) = 9\left(\frac{x+4}{9}\right)-4\\\\h(f(x)) = x+4-4\\\\h(f(x)) = x\\\\[/tex]
and,
[tex]f(x) = \frac{x+4}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = \frac{h(x)+4}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = \frac{9x-4+4}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = \frac{9x}{9}\\\\f(h(x)) = x\\\\[/tex]
Both composite functions lead to x each time.
The equations h(f(x)) = x and f(h(x)) = x being true means each function is the inverse of the other.

The maximum possible number of people on the train is 183.
Given that a train has 11 train cars, and at least 11 passengers are in each train car, and no 3 neighboring train cars have more than 50 passengers altogether, to determine what is the maximum possible number of people on the train, the following calculation must be done:
50/3 = 16.66 16 + 17 + 17 = 50 16 + 17 + 17 + 16 + 17 + 17 + 16 + 17 + 17 + 16 + 17 = X 16 x 4 + 17 x 7 = X 64 + 119 = X 183 = X
Therefore, the maximum possible number of people on the train is 183.

A
$30 per hour
$40 per hour
B
с
$60 per hour
D
$110 per hour
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
the function actually is
y = 40(x - 1) + 70 = 40x - 40 + 70 = 40x + 30
still, the slope (the factor of x) is 40.
that means y (the cost) increases by 40 for every additional hour (x increases by 1).
so, the rate of change (slope) is 40/1 = $40 per hour.
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-7,8) and (-7,-6)
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-9,-8) and (3,-8)
Answers
Answer:
1) undefined
2) 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope formula:
[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]
Problem 1:
(x1, y1) = (-7, 8)
(x2, y2) = (-7, -6)
Plug those 2 points into the slope formula and solve:
[tex]m=\frac{-6-8}{-7--7}\\\\m=\frac{-14}{0}[/tex]
Here, you can't divide by 0, so this slope is undefined. An undefined slope would make a completely vertical line on a graph. In this case, the equation of the line would be just:
[tex]x=-7[/tex]
Problem 2:
(x1, y1) = (-9, -8)
(x2, y2) = (3, -8)
[tex]m=\frac{-8--8}{3--9}\\\\m=\frac{0}{12}\\\\m=0[/tex]
The slope is 0, and that would make a horizontal line on a graph. The equation would be:
[tex]y=-8[/tex]
You don't actually need to fully work out the slope that way. If you ever have 2 points with the same x-coordinate, the slope has to be undefined. If you ever have 2 points with the same y-coordinate, then the slope has to be 0, assuming it's linear of course. You can see that in the points given, the first 2 have the same x and the second 2 have the same y.

A lamppost is 6 feet high and casts and 8 foot shadow. At the same time of day, a flagpole near the lamppost cast a 20 foot shadow. Using the properties of similar triangles, find the height, H, of the flagpole
Answers
Answer:
15 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
I will assume that either both objects are standing straight. We can use similar triangles.
We can see that the side 8 is similar to the side 20, since they are both shadows. Therefore, we can set up an equation:
[tex]\frac{6}{8} =\frac{x}{20}[/tex]
we can cross multiply and get:
8x=120
solve for x:
x=15
Therefore, the lamppost must be 15 feet tall (unless it fell down but we won't talk about that)

What are permutation and combination?A permutation is an act of correctly arranging things or pieces. Combinations are a method of taking stuff or pieces from an assortment of items or sets in which the order of the items is irrelevant.
The definition of simplicity is making something simpler to achieve or grasp while also making it a little less difficult.
A canine sanctuary is offering 18 unique canines, yet you have space for just 4 of them.
Then the number of different dog families that you can create is given as,
¹⁸C₄ = (18!) / [(18 - 4)! x 4!]
¹⁸C₄ = (18 x 17 x 16 x 15 x 14!) / (14! x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1)
¹⁸C₄ = 6 x 17 x 2 x 15
¹⁸C₄ = 3060

At a school game, student tickets were 50 cents each and adult tickets were $1 each. If the total receipts from 900 tickets were $500, how many tickets of each kind were sold?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A(1.00) + S(0.50) = 500
A + S = 900
S = 900 - A
A(1.00) + (900 - A)(0.50) = 500
A + 450 - 0.5A = 500
0.5A = 50
A = 100 adults
S = 900 - 100
S = 800 students
No. of students tickets sold is 800 and no. of adult tickets sold is 100.
What is linear equation in two variable ?A linear equation has highest degree of 1 and it contains two variables generally x and y.
According to the given question At a school game, student tickets were 50 cents each and adult tickets were $1 each. If the total receipts from 900 tickets were $500.
Assuming no. of students to be x and no. of adults to be y.
∴ x + y = 900...(i)
And
0.5x + y = 500...(ii)
Subtracting eqn (i) and (ii) we get
0.5x = 400
x = 800.
So, 800 + y = 900
y = 100.
Therefore how many tickets are sold is same as the no. of students and adults which are 800 and 100 respectively.

To the nearest tenth, what is the percent of Container A that is full after the pumping is complete?
Answers
Answer:
5.2%
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of cylinder= πr²h
In Container A,
D= 18ft, r=18/2=9ft, h=15ft
volume= 22/7 × 9² × 15
= 26730/7 cubic ft.
In Container B,
D=16ft, r= 16/2=8ft, h=18ft
volume= 22/7 × 8² × 18
= 25344/7 cubic ft.
percent of amount of water left in Container A= percent of container A that is full after pumping
Amount of water left in Container A,
26730/7 - 25344/7 = 1386/7
Therefore, % of container A that is full= 1386/7 ÷ 26730/7 × 100
(1386×7×100)/(7×26730)= 5.185
