- Consider the function h(x) = ((x^2) - x) / ((x + 1)^2), which has first derivative h'(x) = (3x - 1) / ((x + 1)^3) and second derivative h''(x) = (6 - 6x) / ((x + 1)^4). Find the vertical asymptotes, locate and classify all relative minima and maxima and point(s) of inflection. Give answers to 3 decimal places.arrow_forwardIn an economic enterprise, the total amount T that is produced is a function of the amount n of a given input used in the process of production. For example, the yield of a crop depends on the amount of fertilizer used, and the number of widgets manufactured depends on the number of workers. Because of the law of diminishing returns, a graph for T commonly has an inflection point followed by a maximum, so a cubic model may be appropriate. In this exercise we use the model shown below, with n measured in thousands of units of input and T measured in thousands of units of product. T = −2n3 + 3n2 + n (a) Make a graph of T as a function of n. Include values of n up to 1.5 thousand units. (b) Express using functional notation the amount produced if the input is 1.02 thousand units. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)T( )Calculate that value.

Find the function f given that the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at any point (x,f(x)) is xe-2x and that the graph passes through the point (0,3). b. In keeping with the projected increase in worldwide demand for steam coal, the boilerfiring fuel used for generating electricity, the management of Consolidated Mining has decided to step up its mining operations. Plans call for increasing the yearly production of steam coal over its current level by: 2te-0.05t million metric tons/year for the next 20 years. The current yearly production is 20 million metric tons. Find a function that describes Consolidated’s total production of steam coal at the end of t years. How much coal will Consolidated have produced over the next 20 years if this plan is carried out?arrow_forward
