find the point of inflexion for the function f(x)=x^4-6x^2​

Answers

Answer 1

The points of inflection for the function [f(x) = (x⁴ - 6x²)] are (1, -5) and

(-1, -5).

As per the question statement, we are provided with a function

[f(x) = (x⁴ - 6x²)].

We are required to determine the points of inflection for the above mentioned function.

To solve this question, we will have to calculate the second derivative of the given function. Then, we will have to equate the derivative to zero and solve for x. The obtained values for "x" will be our abscissa, and substituting these values of "x" in f(x), we will obtain our respective ordinates [Since, {y = f(x)}].

[tex]f(x)=(x^{4} -6x^{2})\\or,\frac{d[f(x)}{dx} = \frac{d(x^{4} -6x^{2}) }{dx}\\ or, f'(x)=\frac{dx^{4}}{dx}-\frac{d(6x^{2})}{dx}\\ or, f'(x)=\frac{dx^{4}}{dx}-6\frac{d(x^{2})}{dx}\\or, f'(x)=4x^{(4-1)}-(6*2)[x^{(2-1)}]\\ or,f'(x)=4x^{3}-12x\\[/tex]

Therefore, the second derivative of f(x) = [tex]\frac{d^{2}f(x)}{dx^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]or,f"(x)=\frac{d[f'(x)]}{dx}\\or,f"(x)=\frac{d(4x^{3} -12x)}{dx}\\or, f"(x)=\frac{d(4x^{3}) }{dx}-\frac{d(12x)}{dx}\\ or, f"(x)=4\frac{d(x^{3}) }{dx}-12\frac{d(x)}{dx}\\or,f"(x)=(4*3)[x^{(3-1)}]-(12*1)[x^{(1-1)}]\\ or, f"(x)=12x^{2} -12[/tex]

Now, equating (12x² - 12) to Zero, we get,

[tex](12x^{2} -12)=0\\or,12x^{2} =12\\or,x^{2} =1\\or,x=(1, -1)[/tex]

Now, substituting (x = 1) in f(x), we get,

[tex]y=f(1)=[(1)^{4}-6(1)^{2}]\\ or,y=[1-(6*1)]\\or,y=(1-6)\\or,y=(-5)[/tex]
Hence, one point of inflection for the function [f(x) = (x⁴ - 6x²)] is (1, -5).

Again, substituting [x = (-1)] in f(x), we get,

[tex]y=f(-1)=[(-1)^{4}-6(-1)^{2}]\\ or,y=[1-(6*1)]\\or,y=(1-6)\\or,y=(-5)[/tex]

That is, another point of inflection for the function

[f(x) = (x⁴ - 6x²)] is (-1, -5).

Inflection Point (Of a Function): In differential calculus and differential geometry, an inflection point, point of inflection or flex, is that point on a smooth plane curve at which the curvature changes its concavity i.e. from being "concave up" to being "concave down" or vice versa, or if stated in simpler terms, that point where the curve changes its sign.

The force required to compress a spring varies directly as the change in the length of the spring. If a force of 15 pounds is required to compress a certain spring 5 ​inches, how much force is required to compress the spring 8 ​inches?

Answers

The equation will be F = 3x. Then the force required to compress the spring 8 ​inches will be 24 pounds.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

A spring's length directly relates to the amount of force needed to compress it.

Let F be the force and x be the compressed length. Then the equation will be

F ∝ x

F = kx

If a force of 15 pounds is required to compress a certain spring 5 ​inches. Then the value of the variable k will be

15 = 5k

k = 15/5

k = 3 pounds per inch

Then the equation will be

F = 3x

The force required to compress the spring 8 ​inches will be

F = 3 (8)

F = 24 pounds

The force required to compress the spring 8 ​inches will be 24 pounds.

A football field is 300ft long a sloth moving very quickly travels 60ft every 5 minutes based on this ratio how many minutes would it take a sloth to travel the length of a football field

Answers

Answer:

25 minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the ratio of the total distance traveled  to the total time taken to reach this distance. The formula for speed is:

Speed = total distance / total time taken

The total distance covered by the sloth = 60 ft, and the time taken = 5 minutes, hence:

Speed = total distance / total time taken

speed of the sloth = 60 ft / 5 minutes = 12 ft per minute.

We can calculate the time taken for the sloth to travel the length of the football field (i.e. 300 ft)

speed = distance / time

12 ft/minute = 300 ft / time

time = 300 ft / (12 ft/minute)

time = 25 minute

Solve the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Answers

Answer:

x'1 = -1

x'2 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x = - 1, x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 7x - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )

x² - 7x = 8

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] )x + [tex]\frac{49}{4}[/tex] = 8 + [tex]\frac{49}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{81}{4}[/tex]

(x - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] )² = [tex]\frac{81}{4}[/tex] ( take the square root of both sides )

x - [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] = ± [tex]\sqrt{\frac{81}{4} }[/tex] = ± [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] ( add [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] to both sides )

x = [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] ± [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex]

Thus

x = [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{-2}{2}[/tex] = - 1

x = [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{9}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16}{2}[/tex] = 8

Given two objects represented by the tuples (22, 1, 42, 10) and (20, 0, 36, 8):(a)Compute the Euclidean distance between the two objects. (b) Compute the Manhattan distance between the two objects.

Answers

Answer:

(a) 6.708

(b) 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Tuples ( 22, 1, 42, 10) and (20, 0, 36, 8)

Euclidian distance formula  

[tex]D = \sqrt{(q1 -p1)^2 + (q2-p1)^2 + (q3 - p3)^2 + (q4 -p4)^2}[/tex]

D = [tex]\sqrt{(22-20)^2 + (1-0)^2 + (42 -36)^2 + (10 -8)^2 }[/tex]

   = [tex]\sqrt{(2)^2 + (1)^2 + (6)^2 + (2)^2}[/tex]

    = [tex]\sqrt{4 + 1 + 36 + 4 }[/tex]

     = [tex]\sqrt{45}[/tex]

 D    = 6.708

Therefore the Euclidean distance between the tuples is 6.708

Manhattan Distance formula

D = |q1-p1| + |q2 -p2| + |q3 -p3| + |q4-p4|

  = |22-20| + | 1-0| + | 42 -36| + | 10-8|

 = |2| + |1| + |6| + |2|

D = 11

Therefore the Manhattan distance is equal to 11

answers:

a: f(x)=60x-160
b:f(x)=-60x+160
c:f(x)=-80x +4
d: f(x)= 80x -4

Answers

Answer:

The equation that closely represents the graph is [tex]\mathbf{y=60x-160}[/tex]

Option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find equation that represents the graph.

We can write equation in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

For finding the equation we need to find slope and y-intercept

Finding slope

The slope can be found using formula: [tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

From the graph we can find [tex]x_1=0, y_1=-160, x_2=1, y_2=-100[/tex]

Putting values and finding slope

[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{-100-(-160)}{1-0} \\Slope=\frac{-100+160}{1}\\Slope=-100+160\\Slope=60[/tex]

We get Slope = 60

Finding y-intercept

Using point (0,-160) and slope m = 60, we can find y-intercept

[tex]y=mx+b\\-160=60(0)+b\\b+0=-160\\b=-160[/tex]

Writing the equation

So, the equation for given graph having slope m = 60 and y-intercept b =-160 is:

[tex]y=mx+b\\y=60(x)+(-160)\\y=60x-160[/tex]

So, The equation that closely represents the graph is [tex]\mathbf{y=60x-160}[/tex]

Option A is correct.

Which shows the correct solution of the equation 1/2a+2/3b=50 , when b=30

Answers

The solution to the equation 1/2a + 2/3b = 50 when b = 30 is a = 60

How to determine the correct solution of the equation?

The equation is given as

1/2a + 2/3b = 50

The value of b is given as

b = 30

So, we have

1/2a + 2/3 * 30 = 50

Evaluate the product

So, we have

1/2a + 20 = 50

Evaluate the like terms

So, we have

1/2a = 30

Multiply both sides by 2

a = 60

Hence, the solution to the equation 1/2a + 2/3b = 50 when b = 30 is a = 60

It is named after Harappa, one of its two important cities, that developed in the Indus river valley. Like other earlycivilizations, the river was used for theirrigation of crops. As farming increased, the population increased, and by about 3,000 B.C.E. neolithic villages were developing into larger cities. The other major city of the Indus Valley was Mohenjo-Daro. Both were large, around three miles in circumference, and had populations of around 40,000. Each had huge hilltop structures called a citadel. Unlike Mesopotamia or Egypt, it is impossible to learn much about the Harappan society for two reasons. First, archeologists cannot get to the earliest Harappan physical remains. Silt deposits buried the lndus valley so high that the level of the land as well as the water table was raised. Thus, the earliest Harappan remains lie below the water table. The earliest remains that archeologists can study begin at about 2500 B.C.E., when the Harappan society was fully developed.Second, historians cannot decipher Harappan writings. There is no Rosetta Stone for the Harappan written language. Although historians have thousands of clay seals, copper tablets, and other artifacts with Harappan script, they cannot read the ancient writings that allow them to learn details about their society.Cities were divided into lower dwellings and the higher level citadel, which housed important buildings. The large fortified citadels may indicate the existence of a theocratic and authoritarian society. The citadels were fortified with almost 40 foot walls, which may have served as protection for the cities populations in times of attack and as community centers in times of peace. The citadel in Mohenjo-Daro contains the earliest public water tank of the ancient world. The Great Bath measures 39 feet long and 22 feet wide. In the lower dwellings of Mohenjo-Daro, many people lived in one-room tenement structures. At the same time, there were individual houses of two the same time, there were individual houses of two a great ancient and three stories with over 20 - 30 rooms and numerous courtyards. Most of the larger houses had their own wells and built in brick ovens. Almost all of the houses had private bathrooms with showers and toilets that drained into the city sewage systems. The houses and sewage systems were just small features of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daros very well planned cities. Each city was laid out in a grid pattern, with rectangular blocks larger than modern city blocks. All houses were built of uniform oven- fired clay bricks. Houses had modern plumbing systems with baths, drains, and water chutes that led into sewers beneath the streets. The reason for this civilizations demise is unclear. We can only speculate a combination of a few factors such as: climate change left the valley dry with little water; over-planting may have left the cities hungry; and sickness and war may have left the cities too weak to survive. Until researchers are able to decipher Indus script, we may never know what actually occurred.____________________________________________________________________Question:1.Imagine a scenario where climate change destroys our civilization and write about its demise.
