What is the multiplicative rate of change of the function shown on the graph? Express your answer in decimal form. Round to the
allsm [11]
In linear models there is a constant additve rate of change. For example, in the equation y = mx + b, m is the constanta additivie rate of change.


In exponential models there is a constant multiplicative rate of change.


The function of the graph seems of the exponential type, so we can expect a constant multiplicative exponential rate.


We can test that using several pair of points.


The multiplicative rate of change is calcualted in this way:

 [f(a) / f(b) ] / (a - b)

Use the points given in the graph: (2, 12.5) , (1, 5) , (0, 2) , (-1, 0.8)

[12.5 / 5] / (2 - 1) = 2.5


[5 / 2] / (1 - 0) = 2.5


[2 / 0.8] / (0 - (-1) ) = 2.5


Then, do doubt, the answer is 2.5

A quadrilateral has vertices at $(0,1)$, $(3,4)$, $(4,3)$ and $(3,0)$. Its perimeter can be expressed in the form $a\sqrt2+b\sqr
seraphim [82]

Answer:

a + b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Quadrilateral;

Vertices of (0,1), (3,4) (4,3) and (3,0)

Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}

Required

a + b

Let the vertices be represented with A,B,C,D such as

A = (0,1); B = (3,4); C = (4,3) and D = (3,0)

To calculate the actual perimeter, we need to first calculate the distance between the points;

Such that:

AB represents distance between point A and B

BC represents distance between point B and C

CD represents distance between point C and D

DA represents distance between point D and A

Calculating AB

Here, we consider A = (0,1); B = (3,4);

Distance is calculated as;

Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

(x_1,y_1) = A(0,1)

(x_2,y_2) = B(3,4)

Substitute these values in the formula above

Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

AB = \sqrt{(0 - 3)^2 + (1 - 4)^2}

AB = \sqrt{( - 3)^2 + (-3)^2}

AB = \sqrt{9+ 9}

AB = \sqrt{18}

AB = \sqrt{9*2}

AB = \sqrt{9}*\sqrt{2}

AB = 3\sqrt{2}

Calculating BC

Here, we consider B = (3,4); C = (4,3)

Here,

(x_1,y_1) = B (3,4)

(x_2,y_2) = C(4,3)

Substitute these values in the formula above

Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

BC = \sqrt{(3 - 4)^2 + (4 - 3)^2}

BC = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (1)^2}

BC = \sqrt{1 + 1}

BC = \sqrt{2}

Calculating CD

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

(x_1,y_1) = C(4,3)

(x_2,y_2) = D (3,0)

Substitute these values in the formula above

Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

CD = \sqrt{(4 - 3)^2 + (3 - 0)^2}

CD = \sqrt{(1)^2 + (3)^2}

CD = \sqrt{1 + 9}

CD = \sqrt{10}

Lastly;

Calculating DA

Here, we consider C = (4,3); D = (3,0)

Here,

(x_1,y_1) = D (3,0)

(x_2,y_2) = A (0,1)

Substitute these values in the formula above

Distance = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}

DA = \sqrt{(3 - 0)^2 + (0 - 1)^2}

DA = \sqrt{(3)^2 + (- 1)^2}

DA = \sqrt{9 +  1}

DA = \sqrt{10}

The addition of the values of distances AB, BC, CD and DA gives the perimeter of the quadrilateral

Perimeter = 3\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{10} + \sqrt{10}

Perimeter = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}

Recall that

Perimeter = a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10}

This implies that

a\sqrt{2} + b\sqrt{10} = 4\sqrt{2} + 2\sqrt{10}

By comparison

a\sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2}

Divide both sides by \sqrt{2}

a = 4

By comparison

b\sqrt{10} = 2\sqrt{10}

Divide both sides by \sqrt{10}

b = 2

Hence,

a + b = 2 + 10

a + b = 12

(x+2/x-7) - (x^2+4x+13/x^2-4x-21)
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x = 4.24151

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-x^2 + x + 14 + 2/x - 13/x^2 = 0

Bring -x^2 + x + 14 + 2/x - 13/x^2 together using the common denominator x^2:

(-x^4 + x^3 + 14 x^2 + 2 x - 13)/x^2 = 0

Multiply both sides by x^2:

-x^4 + x^3 + 14 x^2 + 2 x - 13 = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:

x^4 - x^3 - 14 x^2 - 2 x + 13 = 0

Eliminate the cubic term by substituting y = x - 1/4:

13 - 2 (y + 1/4) - 14 (y + 1/4)^2 - (y + 1/4)^3 + (y + 1/4)^4 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

y^4 - (115 y^2)/8 - (73 y)/8 + 2973/256 = 0

Add (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8 to both sides:

y^4 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + 2973/256 = (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8

y^4 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + 2973/256 = (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 = (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8

Add 2 (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) λ + λ^2 to both sides:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2

(73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) y^2 + (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8 + λ^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = y^2 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8 + λ^2

Complete the square on the right hand side:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)))^2 + (4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) (λ^2 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8) - 5329/64)/(4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8))

To express the right hand side as a square, find a value of λ such that the last term is 0.

This means 4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) (λ^2 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8) - 5329/64 = 1/64 (512 λ^3 + 96 sqrt(2973) λ^2 + 3680 λ^2 + 460 sqrt(2973) λ + 11892 λ - 5329) = 0.

Thus the root λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3)) allows the right hand side to be expressed as a square.

(This value will be substituted later):

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)))^2

Take the square root of both sides:

y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ = y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)) or y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ = -y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) - 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8))

Solve using the quadratic formula:

y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) + sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 + 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) or y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 + 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) or y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 - 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973))) - sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973))) or y = 1/8 (-sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 - 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) where λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3))

Substitute λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3)) and approximate:

y = -3.23079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x - 1/4 = -3.23079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x - 1/4 = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x - 1/4 = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x - 1/4 = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

Answer: x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x = 4.24151
