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].

John and Jennifer want to split a bag of candy, and decide to use the divider-chooser method. The bag contains 100 Snickers, 100 Milky Ways, and 100 Reese's, which John values at $1, $4, and $5 respectively.
If John is the divider, find a possible division that is consistent with his value system.
Answers
If John is the divider then $5 is the consistent value with his share system.
What is a divider chooser?The essential concept is that an object is divided into pieces by a divider. The remaining participants, referred to as choosers, make bids on the pieces they believe represent fair portions. Each chooser receives the portion that, in their opinion, represents a fair share, with the remaining portion going to the divider.
Given that the bag contains 100 Snickers, 100 Milky ways and 100 Reese's which john values at $1 , $4 and $5 respectively.
That means 1 Snicker, 1 Milky way and 1 Reese's for $0.01 , $0.04 and $0.05 respectively.
Suppose, John splits a bag of candy
a) first half : 50 Snickers, 50 Milky ways and 50 Reese's
b) second half : 50 Snickers, 50 Milky ways and 50 Reese's
The value of both of the half in John's terms ;
50 (0.01) + 50 (0.04) + 50 (0.05) = 0.5 + 2 + 2.5 = 5
Therefore, if John is the divider then $5 is the consistent value with his share system.

how do i solve for this?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
1. KOL = 90
2.KLO = 25
3.NL= 30
4.KL = 17
workings
1.for angle
KOL =90 : the diagonals of rhombus are perpendicular to each other
2. angle LKO + angle KLO + angle KOL =180 : angles of triangle are supplementary(add to 180)
65+ KLO + 90 =180
KLO +155
KLO = 180 - 155
KLO = 25
3. NL = NO + LO: diagonals of the rhombus bisect each other
NL = 15 +15
NL = 30
4. Cos 25 = 15/KL
multiply by KL on both sides
KL × Cos 25 =15
divide by cos 25 on both sides
KL = 17
Two angles are complementary. The larger angle is 32° larger than the smaller angle. Find the measure of both angles, and separate your answers with a comma.
Answers
The angles are 29° and 61°.
Let the smaller angle be x
Let the larger angle be x+32.
The sum of the complimentary angles will be 90°.
Therefore, x + x + 32° = 90°
2x + 32° = 90°
2x = 90° - 32°
2x = 58°
x = 58/2
x = 29°
The larger angle = x + 32 = 29 + 32 = 61°

Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Fundamental Counting Principle, which states that if there are p ways to do one thing, and q ways to do another thing, then there are p×q ways to do both things. In this case, we have 2 ways to select one object from the first set, 3 ways to select one object from the second set, and 14 ways to select one object from the third set. So, we multiply and do 2*3*14=84
Therefore, there are 84 unique combinations

Jaime is three years younger than his brother Keegan. In five years, the sum of their ages will be thirty-nine.
How old are they now?
Answers
Answer:
Keegan is 16 and Jamie is 13.
Step by Step Explanation:
So if we were to take the number 39 and divide it by 2, we would get 19.5. Since Jaime is 3 years younger, we would subtract 3 from one of the 19's. Then we would add 1.5 to both of the numbers since that 3 we subtracted has to go somewhere in that 39, and we come up with the numbers 21 and 18. Since it is asking how old they are NOW and not in the future, we subtract 5 from both numbers to account for the 5 years, and we end up with the years 16 and 13.
