f(x) = x - 5 ln(x)
Get the derivative:
f'(x) = 1 - 5/x
Find the critical points:
• f'(x) = 1 - 5/x = 0 -> 5/x = 1 -> x = 5
• f'(x) is undefined for x = 0, but that's outside the domain of f(x)
Get the second derivative:
f''(x) = 5/x ^2
Check the sign of the second derivative at the critical point x = 5:
f'' (5) = 5/5^2 = 5/25 = 1/5 > 0
Since the second derivative is positive at this point, this means x = 5 is a local minimum.
Check the value of f(x) at the critical point as well as the endpoints of the given domain:
f (5) = 5 - 5 ln(5) ≈ -3.407
f (1/5) = 1/5 - 5 ln(1/5) ≈ 1.809
f (10) = 10 - 5 ln(10) ≈ -1.513
So we have
• absolute maximum = 1/5 - 5 ln(1/5) at x = 1/5
• absolute minimum = 5 - 5 ln(5) at x = 5
The absolute maximum value is f(5)=5−5ln(5), and this occurs at x equals 5
The absolute minimum value is f(1/5)= 1/5−5ln(1/5), and this occurs at x equals 1/5
Given the function f(x)=x−5ln(x),
We are to find the absolute minimum and maximum value of the function
At the turning point f'(x) = x - 5ln(x)
f'(x) = 1 - 5/x
0 = 1 - 5/x
-5/x = -1
-x = -5
x = 5
Find the second derivative of the function;
f''(x) = -5/x²
Substitute the value of x = 5 into the second derivative function to have:
f''(5) = -5/5² = 1/5
Since f''(5) = 1/5 < 0, this is the local maximum and the point x = 5 is the absolute minimum
The absolute maximum value is f(5)=5−5ln(5), and this occurs at x equals 5
The absolute minimum value is f(1/5)= 1/5−5ln(1/5), and this occurs at x equals 1/5

Consider the equation 5 +x=n.
What must be true about any value of x if n is a negative number?
Explain your answer.
Provide an example that would satisfy this condition.
Explain how you know your equation is correct.
Answer:
It's C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Any value of x must have a bigger negative number than 5. In this case, formally you say that all x values must be LESS than 5 only.

Determine the slope of the line that passes through the points (-4,-2) and (3,1).
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Stephanie, so many people ask questions about this type of problem, I think the teachers don't know how to explain these at all. Ask your teacher if I can have some of their salary :) I have to explain this to that many people.. :0
given"
point P1 (-4,-2) in the form (x1,y1)
point P2(3,1) in the form (x2,y2)
slope = m
formula for slope is:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (1-(-2) ) / (3 - (-4))
m = (1+2) / (3+4)
m = 3 /7
That's your slope, ask if you need more explanation, I'm really curious about why this type of problem causes so many questions :/

41. How would the graph of the function
y=x2- 3 be affected if the function were
changed to y=x2 + 2?
A. The graph would shift 2 units up.
B. The graph would shift 5 units up.
C. The graph would shift 5 units down.
D. The graph would shift 1 unit up,
Answer:
B. The graph would shift 5 units up.
Step-by-step explanation:
Before the change:
Before the change, the function was given by:
[tex]y = x^2 - 3[/tex]
After the change:
After the change, the function was given by:
[tex]y = x^2 + 2[/tex]
Considering the function as it was before the change, it can also be written as:
[tex]y = x^2 - 3 + 5[/tex]
Which means that 5 was added to the function, and when a number n is added to a function, there function is shifted n units up. So the correct answer to this problem is given by option B.
Each quarter the marketing manager of a retail store divides customers into two classes based on their purchase behavior in the previous quarter. Denote the classes as L for low and H for high. The manager wishes to determine to which classes of customers he should send quarterly catalogs. The cost of sending a catalog is $15 per customer and the expected purchase depends on the customer’s class and the manager’s action. If a customer is in class L and receives a catalog, then the expected purchase in the current quarter is $20, and if a class L customer does not receive a catalog his expected purchase is $10. If a customer is in class H and receives a catalog, then his expected purchase is $50, and if a class H customer does not receive a catalog his expected purchase is $25. The decision whether or not to send a catalog to a customer also affects the customer's classification in the subsequent quarter. If a customer is class L at the start of the present quarter, then the probability he is in class L at the subsequent quarter is 0.3 if he receives a catalog and 0.5 if he does not. If a customer is class H in the current period, then the probability that he remains in class H in the subsequent period is 0.8 if he receives a catalog and 0.4 if he does not. Assume a discount rate of 0.9 and an objective of maximizing expected total discounted reward.
a) Formulate this as an infinite-horizon discounted Markov decision problem.
b) For ???? = 0.1, find a near-optimal policy using value iteration.
c) Find an optimal policy using policy iteration starting with the stationary policy which has greatest one-step reward.
d) Formulate the problem as a linear program, giving its primal and dual. Solve both and interpret the solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:
Henry is mixing concrete.To make
concrete he needs to mix cement,
sand and gravel in the ratio 4:3:1 by
weight. Henry needs to make 120 kg
of concrete. He has 65 kg of cement,
40 kg of sand and 15 kg of gravel.
Which ingredient is Henry short of?
Answer:
Sand
Step-by-step explanation:
120kg = (4 + 3 + 1) units = 8 units
1 unit = 120 ÷ 8 = 15kg
Calculating required quantities:
Cement: 4 units = 4(15) = 60kg
Sand: 3 units = 3(15) = 45kg
Gravel: 1 unit = 1(15) = 15kg
Comparing these values to those given in the question, he is short of sand.

Curts kite is 36 yards above the ground and directly above the tree. The length of the string from Curt to the kite is 49 yards. How far is Curt from the tree?
Answer:
about 33.24 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
a² + b² = c²
so, 36² + b² = 49²
1296 + b² = 2401
b² = 1105
Take the square root of both sides..
b = 33.24 yards

The full height is 20, and the height of the parallelogram is 10. So that means the triangles height is 20-10=10. The top and bottom sides of a parallelogram are the same, so the base of the triangle is 18-(6+5)=7. So the area of the triangle is (7x10)/2=35. The area of a parallelogram can be count that same way as a regular rectangle. So 18x10=180. Putting those two together, 35+180=215.

Answer:
x = 11.74739484
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, you can use trig functions. We are given an angle and the side next to it, and we are looking for the side opposite it. The perfect trig function to use for this would be tangent:
tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent
We can substitute the values we already have:
tan(40) = x / 14
x = 14 * tan(40)
We can evaluate this using a calculator and get:
x = 11.74739484

If you borrow $900 for 4 years at an
annual interest rate of 5%, how
much will you pay altogether?
Answer:
$995.04
Step-by-step explanation:
You pay $20.73 every month. $20.73 x 48 = $995.04
Answer:
i am going to assume that for interest you mean simple interest.
900*5%*4=180
180+900=1080.
if you mean compound interest...
900*(1+5%)^4=1094.0 (1.d.p)

Angle Relationships
When solving for x, the sine of 44° is used. What other angle and trigonometric function could be used to solve for x?
a. tan 46°
b. cos 46°
c. tan 44°
d. cos 44°
Please select the best answer from choices provided
Answer:
B. cos 46°
Step-by-step explanation:
I calculated it logically
Answer:
b. cos 46
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three angles to choose from since there are three angles in a triangle. Of these, the 90° angle can't be used (90° angles don't work with trigonometric ratios), and neither can the 44° (we're told to use a different one from this), so we're left with the unmarked angle on the bottom right. Since the angles in a triangle add to 180, and the other two angles total 134 (90+44=134), we can say this angle is 46°.
Since cos46 is our only option that involves this angle (and since cos46=x/9), this is the option which could be used to find x.
