The function can be expressed as:
f(x) = log(-20x + 12√x)
To ascertain the maximum value, differentiate the equation with respect to x and set the derivative to zero. The procedure unfolds as follows.

The differentiation formula is:
d(log u)/dx = du/u ln(10)
Thus,
d/dx = (-20 + 6/√x)/(-20x + 12√x)(ln 10) = 0
-20 + 6/√x = 0
6/√x = 20
From which we derive x = (6/20)² = 9/100

Therefore,
f(x) = log(-20(9/100)+ 12√(9/100)) = 0.2553

The function's maximum value is 0.2553.

PIT_PIT [12445]

Question is Incomplete; Complete question is given below;

A pile of g pounds of gravel exists in a quarry. During the day, 400 pounds of gravel is added to the pile. Two orders of 900 pounds are removed, resulting in the mound holding 1,500 pounds of gravel by day's end. Formulate the equation that accurately illustrates this scenario.

Answer:

The equation that best represents the situation is g+400-1800=1300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Initial gravel amount = 'g'.

Currently Given:

Throughout the day, 400 pounds of gravel is added to the pile.

Thus we can conclude;

Gravel amount after addition = g+400

Also given:

Two orders of 900 pounds are sold and the gravel is taken from the pile.

Hence, two orders of 900 pounds = 2\times 900 = 1800 \ pounds

This leads us to state;

Gravel amount post-removal = g+400-1800

Now Given:

Remaining gravel at the end of day = 1300 pounds.

Therefore, we derive that;

g+400-1800=1300

Consequently, the equation that best describes the scenario is g+400-1800=1300.

A glass bottle filled with oil weighs 590 grams. After Sophia uses 200 milliliters of oil, the bottle weighs 400 grams. The weig
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer: The result is M=590-\dfrac{19}{20}V.


Step-by-step explanation: A glass bottle filled with oil has a weight of 590 grams. After Sophia takes away 200 milliliters of oil, the bottle's weight drops to 400 grams.

Consequently, the mass of the oil used by Sophia is calculated as = 590 - 400 = 190 grams.

This means that 190 grams corresponds to 200 milliliters, thus

1~\textup{ ml}=\dfrac{190}{200}~\textup{grams},\\\\\textup{V ml}=\dfrac{19}{20}\textup{V}~\textup{grams}.

The relationship between the mass 'M' of the oil bottle in grams and 'V', the volume of oil used by Sophia can be represented as

\textup{M}=590-\dfrac{19}{20}\textup{V}.
