- Formula for Maximum and Minimum Values Find the maximum or minimum value of the function. f(s)=s21.2s+16arrow_forwardMaximum and Minimum Find the maximum and minimum values of f(x)=x39x2+6 on the horizontal span of 0 to 10.arrow_forwardRadius of a Shock Wave An explosion produces a spherical shock wave whose radius R expands rapidly. The rate of expansion depends on the energy E of the explosion and the elapsed time t since the explosion. For many explosions, the relation is approximated closely by R=4.16E0.2t0.4. Here R is the radius in centimeters, E is the energy in ergs, and t is the elapsed time in seconds. The relation is valid only for very brief periods of time, perhaps a second or so in duration. a. An explosion of 50 pounds of TNT produces an energy of about 1015 ergs. See Figure 2.71. How long is required for the shock wave to reach a point 40 meters 4000 centimeters away? b. A nuclear explosion releases much more energy than conventional explosions. A small nuclear device of yield 1 kiloton releases approximately 91020 ergs. How long would it take for the shock wave from such an explosion to reach a point 40 meters away? c. The shock wave from a certain explosion reaches a point 50 meters away in 1.2 seconds. How much energy was released by the explosion? The values of E in parts a and b may help you set an appropriate window. Note: In 1947, the government released film of the first nuclear explosion in 1945, but the yield of the explosion remained classified. Sir Geoffrey Taylor used the film to determine the rate of expansion of the shock wave and so was able to publish a scientific paper concluding correctly that the yield was in the 20-kiloton range.arrow_forward
- f ''(x) = x2(x − 5)4(x + 6)3(x2 − 1). Suppose f has horizontal tangent lines at the following x-values: x = −7, 1/2, 0, 6, −2. Determine the x-values that correspond to a local maximum, a local minimum, or that cannot be determined by the second derivative test.

- f(x)=x(x^2+6x+25)^(1/2)+3(x^2+6x+25) defined on the interval [-9,3]. All answers refer to x-coordinates. A. f(x) is concave down on the region __ to __. B. f(x) is concave up on the region __ to __. C. the inflection value for the function is __. D. the minimum for this function occurs at __. E. the maximum for this function occurs at __. Thank you!arrow_forwardUse the rectangles to approximate the area of the region. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) f(x) = 9 − x2, [−3, 3] Use the rectangles to approximate the area of the region. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) f(x) = 9 – x2, [-3, 3] y 10 The xy-coordinate plane is given. There is a curve, a shaded region, and 4 rectangles on the graph. • The curve enters the window at x = -3 on the negative x-axis, goes up and right becoming less steep, changes direction at the point(0, 9), goes down and right becoming more steep, and exits the window at x = 3 on the positive x-axis. The region below the curve, above the x-axis, and between the values of -3 and 3 on the x-axis is shaded. The segments of the x-axis from x = -3 to -1.5, -1.5 to 0, 0 to 1.5, and 1.5 to 3 serve as the bases of the 4 rectangles. The curve passes through the midpoint of the top of each of the 4 rectangles. Give the exact area obtained using a definite integral.arrow_forwardA thin observatory probe having the shape of a plate is probing a volcano in an xy −plane at a point P(x, y). The probe can only withstand a certain amount of temperature; thus, it is desired to represent the temperature as the function of x and y. The temperature calculated in degrees Celsius is inversely proportional to the square of its distance from the origin. Kindly Solve it by using multi variable calculus techniques.arrow_forward
