Given the points a(-2, 1) and b(8, 6), find the coordinates of the point c on directed line segment ab, that partitions ab in the ration 2: 3.

If p(x) is the total value of the production when there are x workers in a plant, then the average productivity of the workforce at the plant is a(x) = p(x) x . (a) find a'(x). a'(x) = xp'(x) − p(x) x a'(x) = xp'(x) − p(x) x2 a'(x) = p'(x) − p(x) x a'(x) = xp'(x) − p'(x) x2 a'(x) = p'(x) − xp(x) x2 why does the company want to hire more workers if a'(x) > 0? a'(x) > 0 ⇒ a(x) is ; that is, the average productivity as the size of the workforce increases. (b) if p'(x) is greater than the average productivity, which of the following must be true? p'(x) − xp(x) > 0 p'(x) − xp(x) < 0 xp'(x) − p'(x) > 0 xp'(x) − p(x) < 0 xp'(x) − p(x) > 0

Rachel is studying the population of a particular bird species in a national park. she observes every 10th bird of that species that she can find in the park. her conclusion is that the birds living in the park who belong to that species generally feed on insects. rachel's sample is . based on the sample she picked, rachel's generalization is
