Points: 0 of 1

The total sales, [tex]S[/tex] (in thousands of DVDs), of a certain movie are given by the following formula, where [tex]t[/tex] is the number of months since the release of the DVD.

Use the formula to answer the questions:

[tex]
S(t)=\frac{40t^2}{t^2+150}
[/tex]

a) Find [tex]S^{\prime}(t)[/tex].
[tex]
S^{\prime}(t)=\frac{-80t^3}{\left(t^2+150\right)^2}+\frac{80t}{\left(t^2+150\right)}
[/tex]

b) Find [tex]S(10)[/tex] and [tex]S^{\prime}(10)[/tex].

The value of [tex]S(10)[/tex] rounded to the nearest hundredth is [tex]\boxed{}[/tex].



Answer :

Let's analyze the problem step-by-step and confirm the solution:

### Given:

The total sales, [tex]\( S(t) \)[/tex], of a certain movie in thousands of DVDs are given by the formula:

[tex]\[ S(t) = \frac{40 t^2}{t^2 + 150} \][/tex]

### (a) Find [tex]\( S'(t) \)[/tex].

The derivative, [tex]\( S'(t) \)[/tex], has already been provided:

[tex]\[ S'(t) = \frac{-80 t^3}{(t^2 + 150)^2} + \frac{80 t}{t^2 + 150} \][/tex]

### (b) Find [tex]\( S(10) \)[/tex] and [tex]\( S'(10) \)[/tex].

First, we need to find [tex]\( S(10) \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ S(10) = \frac{40 \cdot 10^2}{10^2 + 150} \][/tex]

Evaluating inside the fraction:

[tex]\[ S(10) = \frac{40 \cdot 100}{100 + 150} = \frac{4000}{250} = 16.0 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( S(10) = 16.0 \)[/tex] (already rounded to the nearest hundredth).

Next, we compute [tex]\( S'(10) \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ S'(10) = \frac{-80 \cdot 10^3}{(10^2 + 150)^2} + \frac{80 \cdot 10}{10^2 + 150} \][/tex]

Evaluating each part separately:

1. [tex]\( \frac{-80 \cdot 10^3}{(10^2 + 150)^2} = \frac{-80 \cdot 1000}{(100 + 150)^2} = \frac{-80000}{250^2} = \frac{-80000}{62500} = -1.28 \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( \frac{80 \cdot 10}{10^2 + 150} = \frac{800}{250} = 3.2 \)[/tex]

Now, adding the results of both parts:

[tex]\[ S'(10) = -1.28 + 3.2 = 1.92 \][/tex]

Thus, [tex]\( S'(10) = 1.92 \)[/tex] (already rounded to suitable precision).

### Final Answer:

The value of [tex]\( S(10) \)[/tex] rounded to the nearest hundredth is [tex]\( 16.0 \)[/tex].

The value of [tex]\( S'(10) \)[/tex] is [tex]\( 1.92 \)[/tex].
