Critical Point Answered
Lisantiom 2022-10-03

Find the critical points of $f\left(x,y\right)={x}^{2}y{e}^{-x-y}.$$x=0$ and $x=2$ both satisfy ${f}_{x}=0,{f}_{y}=0$, and when $x=2,y=1$. But when $x=0,y$,$x=0,y$ is arbritary. So how can I determine whether the critical point at $0$ is max/min/saddle?

Why do I get different results when testing for increasing/decreasing intervals of a function here?I have the function $f\left(x\right)=6+\frac{6}{x}+\frac{6}{{x}^{2}}$ and I want to find the intervals where it increases or decreases. The problem is that when I find ${f}^{\prime }\left(x\right)=0$, which becomes $x=-2$. Once I put -2 on a number line, and find whether the numbers higher and lower than -2 produce positive or negative numbers when plugged into f′(x), I get both positives and negatives for different numbers when $x>-2$. For example, ${f}^{\prime }\left(-1\right)>0$ and ${f}^{\prime }\left(5\right)<0$.I am not sure if this is because the function has a vertical asymptote at $x=0$ and a horizontal attribute at $y=6$. If so, I'd like to know what I need to do to handle them.How I found the first derivative:$\frac{d}{dx}\frac{6}{x}=\frac{\left[0\right]-\left[6\cdot 1\right]}{{x}^{2}}=\frac{-6}{{x}^{2}}$$\frac{d}{dx}\frac{6}{{x}^{2}}=\frac{\left[0\right]-\left[6\cdot 2x\right]}{\left({x}^{2}{\right)}^{2}}=\frac{-12}{{x}^{3}}$${f}^{\prime }\left(x\right)=\frac{-6}{{x}^{2}}-\frac{-12}{{x}^{3}}$How I found the asymptotes:When you combine the fractions of f(x), $f\left(x\right)=\frac{6{x}^{2}+6x+6}{{x}^{2}}$. When set equal to zero, ${x}^{2}$ has an x-value of zero. Therefore, f(x) has a vertical asymptote at $x=0$.Once the fractions are combined, and when everything but the coefficients of the leading terms on the numerator and denominator are removed, $f\left(x\right)=\frac{6}{1}$. So f(x) has a horizontal asymptote at $y=6$.How I found the value of ${f}^{\prime }\left(x\right)=0$:$\frac{-6}{{x}^{2}}-\frac{12}{{x}^{3}}=0$Add $\frac{12}{{x}^{3}}$ to both sides$\frac{6}{{x}^{2}}=\frac{-12}{{x}^{3}}$Multiply both sides by ${x}^{3}$.$6x=-12$Divide both sides by 6.$x=\frac{-12}{6}=-2$

Suppose a neutrino is seen travelling so fast that its Lorentz gamma factor is 100,000. It races past an old, no longer active neutron star, narrowly missing it. As far as the neutrino is concerned, it is the neutron star that is moving at extreme speed, & its mass is 100,000 times larger than 2 solar masses. Therefore, from the speeding neutrino's perspective, the neutron star should appear to be a black hole definitely large enough to trap the neutrino. So how come the speeding neutrino continues its travel right past the old stellar remnant? Is there an agreed name for this question or paradox?

Test of confidence intervals?In one of my assignments I have to "test" if the confidence intervals for a set of parameters in a mixed effect model is accurate. I'm asked to simulate from fittet parameters and there after refit them using the same model many times, and lastly take 2.5% and 97.5% quantiles of them and compare with the original CIs. My question is, how does this procedure in anyway measure how accurate my original confidence intervals are?

Difference between first and second fundamental theorem of calculusIn first fundamental theorem of calculus,it states if $A\left(x\right)={\int }_{a}^{x}f\left(t\right)dt$ then ${A}^{\prime }\left(x\right)=f\left(x\right)$.But in second they say ${\int }_{a}^{b}f\left(t\right)dt=F\left(b\right)-F\left(a\right)$,But if we put x=b in the first one we get A(b).Then what is the difference between these two and how do we prove A(b)=F(b)−F(a)?

Raw Data Answered

While including a data table for a lab report, the guidelines asked to include an uncertainty value for each raw data. In this particular lab where we used slotted masses the masses were already given (such as 50g, 200g, etc.). So while recording the masses into the data table, to how many significant figures should I record the uncertainty and for what reason?

Conclusion for confidence intervalIf I got, let's say, a 95 % confidence interval for the mean and a 95 % confidence interval for the variance.Would it then be wrong to conclude:The 95 % confidence interval for the mean contains with at least 95 % probability the true mean?andThe 95 % confidence interval for the variance contains with at least 95 % probability the true variance?What would be a more correct/precise way to express what the confidence intervals stand for?

College Math problems only seem challenging at first, yet what they truly represent is not much harder than high school Math with some equations that are closer to the engineering approach. Approaching your college math helper is essential because your questions may just have to be worded differently. Regardless if you are dealing with equations or need answers to your college math questions, taking a look at college math equations will let you see things differently. Approach college math answers step-by-step. The majority of college math problems with answers represented here will be similar to what you already have.
