question:Given the function f(x)=frac{{e}^{x}}{{x}^{a}}, where e is the base of the natural logarithm.<br/>(1) When a=1, does the graph of the function f(x) have a tangent line parallel to the xaxis? If it exists, find the equation of the tangent line; if not, explain why.<br/>(2) When a gt 0, if the function g(x)=f(x)e(xaln x) has exactly two zeros in (0,+infty), find the range of values for a. (Hint: as xrightarrow 0, aln xx+1rightarrow infty; as xrightarrow +infty, aln xx+1rightarrow infty)
answer:# Solution: Part (1): Given a=1, the function simplifies to f(x)=frac{e^x}{x}. To find if there's a tangent line parallel to the x-axis, we calculate the derivative of f(x): f'(x) = frac{d}{dx}left(frac{e^x}{x}right) = frac{e^x(x-1)}{x^2} For the tangent to be parallel to the x-axis, f'(x) = 0: frac{e^x(x-1)}{x^2} = 0 implies x = 1 At x=1, f(1) = frac{e^1}{1} = e. Therefore, there exists a tangent line at the point (1, e), and the equation of this tangent line is y = e. boxed{text{The equation of the tangent line is } y = e.} Part (2): For g(x) = f(x) - e(x - aln x) to have exactly two zeros in (0, +infty), we consider the equivalent condition for frac{e^x}{x^a} = e(ln e^x - ln x^a). This simplifies to: frac{e^x}{x^a} = elnfrac{e^x}{x^a} Letting t = frac{e^x}{x^a} > 0, we rewrite the equation as t = eln t. Define h(t) = eln t - t and find its derivative: h'(t) = frac{e}{t} - 1 Analyzing h'(t), we find: - For 0 < t < e, h'(t) > 0, indicating h(t) is increasing. - For t > e, h'(t) < 0, indicating h(t) is decreasing. Since h(e) = 0, the equation t = eln t has a unique solution at t = e. This implies that the condition for g(x) to have exactly two zeros translates to the equation aln x = x - 1 having two distinct real solutions. Define varphi(x) = aln x - x + 1 and find its derivative: varphi'(x) = frac{a}{x} - 1 Analyzing varphi'(x), we find: - For 0 < x < a, varphi'(x) > 0, indicating varphi(x) is increasing. - For x > a, varphi'(x) < 0, indicating varphi(x) is decreasing. Given the behavior of varphi(x) and the hints provided, for varphi(a) = aln a - a + 1 > 0 to hold, we analyze the inequality lna + frac{1}{a} - 1 > 0. Define u(a) = lna + frac{1}{a} - 1 and find its derivative: u'(a) = frac{1}{a} - frac{1}{a^2} = frac{a-1}{a^2} Analyzing u'(a), we find: - For 0 < a < 1, u'(a) < 0, indicating u(a) is decreasing. - For a > 1, u'(a) > 0, indicating u(a) is increasing. Since u(1) = 0, for a neq 1, the inequality lna + frac{1}{a} - 1 > 0 always holds. Therefore, the range of values for a is: boxed{(0,1) cup (1, +infty).}
question:After agreeing that the school menu needs to be changed, they had a vote for food suggestions. If 337 students voted to add more veggies to the menu, 335 students voted to add more meat, 274 students voted for adding more dairy products, and 212 students voted for including more plantbased protein options, how many students voted in total?
answer:To find the total number of students who voted, we need to add up all the votes for each category: Veggies: 337 votes Meat: 335 votes Dairy: 274 votes Plant-based protein: 212 votes Total votes = 337 + 335 + 274 + 212 Total votes = 1158 So, boxed{1158} students voted in total.
question:Solution Y is composed of 20 percent liquid X, 55 percent water, and 25 percent liquid Z. If 4 kilograms of water evaporate from 12 kilograms of solution Y, and 3 kilograms of solution Y are added to the remaining mixture, the result is solution A. Next, an additional 2 kilograms of solution B, which is 35 percent liquid X, 50 percent liquid Z, and 15 percent water, are added to the mixture. The mixture is then allowed to evaporate until only 75 percent remains, resulting in solution C. Finally, 6 kilograms of solution D, which is 15 percent liquid X, 60 percent water, and 25 percent liquid Z, are added to solution C. What percent of this final solution is liquid X?
answer:Let's solve this step by step. **Step 1: Evaporation from Solution Y** Original Solution Y (12 kg): - Liquid X: 20% of 12 kg = 2.4 kg - Water: 55% of 12 kg = 6.6 kg - Liquid Z: 25% of 12 kg = 3 kg After 4 kg of water evaporates: - Liquid X: 2.4 kg (unchanged) - Water: 6.6 kg - 4 kg = 2.6 kg - Liquid Z: 3 kg (unchanged) **Step 2: Adding 3 kg of Solution Y** New Solution Y (3 kg): - Liquid X: 20% of 3 kg = 0.6 kg - Water: 55% of 3 kg = 1.65 kg - Liquid Z: 25% of 3 kg = 0.75 kg Adding to the remaining mixture: - Liquid X: 2.4 kg + 0.6 kg = 3 kg - Water: 2.6 kg + 1.65 kg = 4.25 kg - Liquid Z: 3 kg + 0.75 kg = 3.75 kg **Step 3: Adding 2 kg of Solution B** Solution B (2 kg): - Liquid X: 35% of 2 kg = 0.7 kg - Water: 15% of 2 kg = 0.3 kg - Liquid Z: 50% of 2 kg = 1 kg Adding to the mixture: - Liquid X: 3 kg + 0.7 kg = 3.7 kg - Water: 4.25 kg + 0.3 kg = 4.55 kg - Liquid Z: 3.75 kg + 1 kg = 4.75 kg **Step 4: Evaporation to 75%** The total weight before evaporation: 3.7 kg + 4.55 kg + 4.75 kg = 13 kg After evaporation to 75%, the weight becomes 75% of 13 kg = 9.75 kg Since evaporation only affects water, we subtract the evaporated water from the total water: Evaporated water: 25% of 4.55 kg = 1.1375 kg Remaining water: 4.55 kg - 1.1375 kg = 3.4125 kg **Step 5: Adding 6 kg of Solution D** Solution D (6 kg): - Liquid X: 15% of 6 kg = 0.9 kg - Water: 60% of 6 kg = 3.6 kg - Liquid Z: 25% of 6 kg = 1.5 kg Adding to the mixture: - Liquid X: 3.7 kg + 0.9 kg = 4.6 kg - Water: 3.4125 kg + 3.6 kg = 7.0125 kg - Liquid Z: 4.75 kg + 1.5 kg = 6.25 kg **Final Solution:** Total weight of the final solution: 4.6 kg + 7.0125 kg + 6.25 kg = 17.8625 kg Percentage of Liquid X in the final solution: (4.6 kg / 17.8625 kg) * 100% = 25.75% Therefore, the final solution is approximately boxed{25.75%} liquid X.
question:The proposition p: The inequality x^{2}+2ax+4 > 0 with respect to x holds for all x in R, and the proposition q: forall x in [1,2], x^{2}a geqslant 0. If p vee q is true and p wedge q is false, find the range of values for the real number a.
answer:Let g(x)=x^{2}+2ax+4. Since the inequality x^{2}+2ax+4 > 0 with respect to x holds for all x in R, the graph of the function g(x) opens upwards and has no intersection points with the x-axis, thus triangle = 4a^{2}-16 < 0, -2 < a < 2 ldots (1) If q is a true proposition, then a leqslant x^{2} always holds, i.e., a leqslant 1 ldots (2) Since p or q is true and p and q is false, it is known that p and q are either true or false ldots (3) mathbf{1)} If p is true and q is false, then begin{cases} overset{-2 < a < 2}{a > 1} end{cases} therefore 1 < a < 2; ldots (4) mathbf{2)} If p is false and q is true, then begin{cases} overset{a leqslant -2}{a < 1} end{cases} therefore a leqslant -2; ldots (5) In summary, the range of values for the real number a is boxed{a | 1 < a < 2 text{ or } a leqslant -2} ldots (6)
