Answer:

Upward or Downward

Step-by-step explanation:

A parabola is the graph of a quadratic function y = ax2 + bx + c. The graphs below depict two typical parabolas:

For clarity, we indicate their x-intercepts with red dots, their y-intercepts with pink dots, and the vertex of each parabola with a green dot:

The first parabola (a U shape) opens vertically, whereas the second parabola opens downwards (is an upside down U shape).

Given the function y = ax2 + bx + c, write the following:

If an is greater than zero (positive), the parabola widens upward.
If the value is 0 (negative), the parabola expands downward.

Which table represents a linear function that has a slope of 5 and a y-intercept of 20?

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The first image.

x | y

-4 | 0

0 | 20 <--- When x = 0, the y value is the y-intercept.

4 | 40

8 | 60

Step-by-step explanation:

To check the slope, we can use the equation (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁) using any two pairs given. For this example, I'll use (-4, 0) and (4, 40).

x₂ y₂ x₁ y₁

(0 - 40) ÷ (-4 - 4)

(-40) ÷ (-8)

Slope = 5

~Hope this helps!~

Convert all the improper fractions into mixed numbers, then simplify. Then, you do the operations.

Answer:

See below for proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y=\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m$

First derivative

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.4 cm}\underline{Chain Rule for Differentiation}\\\\If $f(g(x))$ then:\\\\$\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=f'(g(x))\:g'(x)$\\\end{minipage}}$

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5 cm}\underline{Differentiating $x^n$}\\\\If $y=x^n$, then $\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=xn^{n-1}$\\\end{minipage}}$

$\begin{aligned} y_1=\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x} & =m\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(1+\dfrac{2x}{2\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right)\\\\ & =m\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(1+\dfrac{x}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right) \\\\ & =m\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(\dfrac{x+\sqrt{1+x^2}}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \right)\\\\ & = \dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \cdot \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^{m-1} \cdot \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)\\\\ & = \dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\end{aligned}$

Second derivative

$\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5.5 cm}\underline{Product Rule for Differentiation}\\\\If $y=uv$ then:\\\\$\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=u\dfrac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x}+v\dfrac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x}$\\\end{minipage}}$

$\textsf{Let }u=\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}$

$\implies \dfrac{\text{d}u}{\text{d}x}=-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)^\frac{3}{2}}$

$\textsf{Let }v=\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m$

$\implies \dfrac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}x}=\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}} \cdot \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m$

$\begin{aligned}y_2=\dfrac{\text{d}^2y}{\text{d}x^2}&=\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\cdot\dfrac{m}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\cdot\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m+\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\cdot-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\&=\dfrac{m^2}{1+x^2}\cdot\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m+\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\cdot-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)\sqrt{1+x^2}}\\\\ &=\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\left(\dfrac{m^2}{1+x^2}-\dfrac{mx}{\left(1+x^2\right)\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)\\\\\end{aligned}$

$= \dfrac{\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m}{1+x^2}\right)\left(m^2-\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)$

Proof

$(x^2+1)y_2+xy_1-m^2y$

$= (x^2+1) \dfrac{\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m}{1+x^2}\left(m^2-\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)+\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m-m^2\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2\right)^m$

$= \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\left(m^2-\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\right)+\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m-m^2\left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2\right)^m$

$= \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\left[m^2-\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}+\dfrac{mx}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}-m^2\right]$

$= \left(x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\right)^m\left[0]$

$= 0$
