If a and b are positive numbers, find the maximum value of f(x) = x^a(2 − x)^b on the interval 0 ≤ x ≤ 2.

Answers

Answer 1

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]

A small airplane flies 750 miles with an average speed of 250 miles per hour. 1.75 hours after the plane leaves, a Boeing 747 leaves from the same point. Both planes arrive at the same time; what was the average speed of the 747?

Answers

Answer:

The average speed of the 747 was of 600 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

A small airplane flies 750 miles with an average speed of 250 miles per hour.

Velocity is distance divided by time, and here, we find the time of the small airplane. So

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

[tex]250 = \frac{750}{t}[/tex]

[tex]250t = 750[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{750}{250}[/tex]

[tex]t = 3[/tex]

1.75 hours after the plane leaves, a Boeing 747 leaves from the same point. Both planes arrive at the same time;

This means that it traveled 750 miles in 3 - 1.75 = 1.25 hours.

What was the average speed of the 747?

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{750}{1.25} = 600[/tex]

The average speed of the 747 was of 600 miles per hour.

First let's compute dx/dt

[tex]x = t - \frac{1}{t}\\\\x = t - t^{-1}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}\left(t - t^{-1}\right)\\\\\frac{dx}{dt} = 1-(-1)t^{-2}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt} = 1+\frac{1}{t^{2}}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{t^2}{t^{2}}+\frac{1}{t^{2}}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{t^2+1}{t^{2}}\\\\[/tex]

Now compute dy/dt

[tex]y = 2t + \frac{1}{t}\\\\y = 2t + t^{-1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}\left(2t + t^{-1}\right)\\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = 2 - t^{-2}\\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = 2 - \frac{1}{t^2}\\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{2t^2}{t^2}-\frac{1}{t^2}\\\\\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{2t^2-1}{t^2}\\\\[/tex]

From here, apply the chain rule to say

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy*dt}{dx*dt}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy}{dt} \times \frac{dt}{dx}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{dy}{dt} \div \frac{dx}{dt}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2t^2-1}{t^2} \div \frac{t^2+1}{t^{2}}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2t^2-1}{t^2} \times \frac{t^{2}}{t^2+1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2t^2-1}{t^2+1}\\\\[/tex]

We could use polynomial long division, or we could add 2 and subtract 2 from the numerator and do a bit of algebra like so

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2t^2-1}{t^2+1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2t^2-1+2-2}{t^2+1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(2t^2+2)-1-2}{t^2+1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(t^2+1)-3}{t^2+1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(t^2+1)}{t^2+1}-\frac{3}{t^2+1}\\\\\frac{dy}{dx} = 2-\frac{3}{t^2+1}\\\\[/tex]

This concludes the first part of 4b

=======================================================

Now onto the second part.

Since t is nonzero, this means either t > 0 or t < 0.

If t > 0, then,

[tex]t > 0\\\\t^2 > 0\\\\t^2+1 > 1\\\\\frac{1}{t^2+1} < 1 \ \text{ ... inequality sign flip}\\\\\frac{3}{t^2+1} < 3\\\\-\frac{3}{t^2+1} > -3 \ \text{ ... inequality sign flip}\\\\-\frac{3}{t^2+1}+2 > -3 + 2\\\\2-\frac{3}{t^2+1} > -1\\\\-1 < 2-\frac{3}{t^2+1}\\\\-1 < \frac{dy}{dx}\\\\[/tex]

note the inequality signs flipping when we apply the reciprocal to both sides, and when we multiply both sides by a negative value.

You should find that the same conclusion happens when we consider t < 0. Why? Because t < 0 becomes t^2 > 0 after we square both sides. The steps are the same as shown above.

So both t > 0 and t < 0 lead to [tex]-1 < \frac{dy}{dx}[/tex]

We can say that -1 is the lower bound of dy/dx. It never reaches -1 itself because t = 0 is not allowed.

We could say that

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{t\to0}\left(2-\frac{3}{t^2+1}\right)=-1\\\\[/tex]

---------------------------------------

To establish the upper bound, we consider what happens when t approaches either infinity.

If t approaches positive infinity, then,

[tex]\displaystyle L = \lim_{t\to\infty}\left(2-\frac{3}{t^2+1}\right)\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{t\to\infty}\left(\frac{2t^2-1}{t^2+1}\right)\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \lim_{t\to\infty}\left(\frac{2-\frac{1}{t^2}}{1+\frac{1}{t^2}}\right)\\\\\\\displaystyle L = \frac{2-0}{1+0}\\\\\\\displaystyle L = 2\\\\[/tex]

As t approaches infinity, the dy/dx value approaches L = 2 from below.

The same applies when t approaches negative infinity.

So we see that [tex]\frac{dy}{dx} < 2[/tex]

---------------------------------------

Since [tex]-1 < \frac{dy}{dx} \text{ and } \frac{dy}{dx} < 2[/tex], those two inequalities combine into the compound inequality [tex]-1 < \frac{dy}{dx} < 2[/tex]

So dy/dx is bounded between -1 and 2, exclusive of either endpoint.

A. Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

B. To solve for the unknown variable;

1 + 3x = -89

3x = -89 -1

3x = -90

x = -90/3

x = -30

Check:

1 + 3x = -89

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 28° and 7x + 32° are vertical angles. Vertical angles are congruent.

Therefore, to find the measure of each angle, we have to set each equation equal to each other as follows:

12x - 28° = 7x + 32°

Collect like terms

12x - 7x = 28 + 32

5x = 60

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 60/5

x = 12

Plug in the value of x

12(12) - 28
