For a fish swimming at a speed v relative to the water, the energy expenditure per unit time is proportional to v3. It is believed that migrating fish try to minimize the total energy required to swim a fixed distance. If the fish are swimming against a current u (u < v), then the time required to swim a distance L is L/(v - u) and the total energy E required to swim the distance is given by the formula below, where a is the proportionality constant.
E(v) = av^3 L/(v - u)
Determine the value of v that minimizes E. (Note: This result has been verified experimentally.)

Which of the statements about the graph of the function y = 2x are true? check all of the boxes that apply. the domain is all real numbers x because the exponent of 2 can be any real number when the x-values increases by 1 unit, the y-value multiplies by 2. the y-intercept is (0, 1). the graph never goes below the x-axis because powers of 2 are never negative. the range is all real numbers.
