Using derivatives, it is found that the x-values in which the slope belong to the interval (-1,1) are in the following interval:

(-15,-10).

<h3>What is the slope of the tangent line to a function f(x) at point x = x0?</h3>

It is given by the derivative at x = x0, that is:

m = f^{\prime}(x_0).

In this problem, the function is:

f(x) = 0.2x^2 + 5x - 12

Hence the derivative is:

f^{\prime}(x) = 0.4x + 5

For a slope of -1, we have that:

0.4x + 5 = -1

0.4x = -6

x = -15.

For a slope of 1, we have that:

0.4x + 5 = 1.

0.4x = -4

x = -10

Hence the interval is:

(-15,-10).

Leah cut a 7 inch ribbon into pieces that are 1/2 an inch long. How many pieces of ribbon did she cut? ​
photoshop1234 [79]

14 ribbons.

7 divided by 1/2 is 14. dividing by a fraction or decimal is just like multiplying without the decimal point or numerator.

Sarah walks to school, 1.5 miles in 30 minutes. what is the snswer to this
nevsk [136]

Answer: 3 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have to find the speed V at which Sarah walks to school, knowing the distance d she has walked and the time t she expends.

So, in this case we can use the following equation:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d=1.5 mi

t=30 min \frac{1 h}{60 min}=0.5 h

Solving:

V=\frac{1.5 mi}{0.5 h}

V=3 mi/h This is Sarah's speed

Savatey [412]

Answer: (2, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

When x=2, f(2)=2(3)^{2}=18.

So, it should pass through (2, 18).
