Graphs of Function,

Mathematics
1 answer:
andrew-mc [135]1 year ago
5 0

Answer:

A function is increasing when the gradient is positive

A function is decreasing when the gradient is negative

<u>Question 7</u>

If you draw a tangent to the curve in the interval x < -2 then the tangent will have a positive gradient, and so the function is increasing in this interval.

If you draw a tangent to the curve in the interval x > -2 then the tangent will have a negative gradient, and so the function is decreasing in this interval.

If you draw a tangent to the curve at the vertex of the parabola, it will be a horizontal line, and so the gradient at x = -2 will be zero.

The function is increasing when x < -2

(- \infty,-2)

The function is decreasing when x > -2

(-2, \infty)

<u>Additional information</u>

We can actually determine the intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing by differentiating the function.

The equation of this graph is:

f(x)=-2x^2-8x-8

\implies f'(x)=-4x-8

The function is increasing when f'(x) > 0

\implies -4x-8 > 0

\implies -4x > 8

\implies x < -2

The function is decreasing when f'(x) < 0

\implies -4x-8 < 0

\implies -4x < 8

\implies x > -2

This concurs with the observations made from the graph.

<u>Question 8</u>

This is a straight line graph. The gradient is negative, so:

The function is decreasing for all real values of x

(- \infty,+ \infty)

But if they want the interval for the grid only, it would be -4 ≤ x ≤ 1

[-4,1]

<u>Question 9</u>

If you draw a tangent to the curve in the interval x < -1 then the tangent will have a negative gradient, and so the function is decreasing in this interval.

If you draw a tangent to the curve in the interval x > -1 then the tangent will have a positive gradient, and so the function is increasing in this interval.

If you draw a tangent to the curve at the vertex of the parabola, it will be a horizontal line, and so the gradient at x = -1 will be zero.

The function is decreasing when x < -1

(- \infty,-1)

The function is increasing when x > -1

(-1, \infty)

What was the total production of gasoline and kerosene combined (in Barrels)
Elina [12.6K]

The amount of kerosene and gasoline produced is an illustration of equations.

<em>44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced</em>

Let

<em />x \to<em> Proportion of kerosene</em>

<em />y \to<em>  Proportion of Gasoline</em>

<em />

So:

x = 40\%

y = 34\%

Total = 60\ million ---- total barrels produced

The amount of Kerosene produced is:

Kerosene =x \times Total

Kerosene =40\% \times 60\ million

Kerosene = 24\ million

The amount of Gasoline produced is:

Gasoline  =y \times Total

Gasoline  =34\% \times 60\ million

Gasoline  =20.4\ million

So, the total production of both is:

Total = Kerosene + Gasolene

Total = 24\ million + 20.4\ million

Total = 44.4 million

<em>Hence, 44.4 million barrels of gasoline and kerosene are produced</em>

Answer this question!!!!!!!​
Vesnalui [34]

The expression can represent the value of x in terms of R, m, n and k after rearranging.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

It is defined as the combination of constants and variables with mathematical operators.

It is given that:

The expression is:

\rm R = 4m\sqrt{\dfrac{xn}{k^3}}

Square both side:

\rm R^2 = 16m^2{\dfrac{xn}{k^3}}

16m² x n = R²k³

x = (R²k³)/(16m²n)

The above expression represents the value of x in terms of R, m, n and k.

Thus, the expression can represent the value of x in terms of R, m, n and k after rearranging.

Why does a nail stick to a magnet?
sergij07 [2.7K]
The nail will stick to the magnet because it will become magnetized.Also because the north pole in the magnet rearranges the magnet domains inside the steel so that their south poles all point toward the north pole of the permanent magnet
