So lets try to prove it,

So let's consider the function f(x) = x^2.

Since f(x) is a polynomial, then it is continuous on the interval (- infinity, + infinity).

Using the Intermediate Value Theorem,

it would be enough to show that at some point a f(x) is less than 2 and at some point b f(x) is greater than 2. For example, let a = 0 and b = 3.

Therefore, f(0) = 0, which is less than 2, and f(3) = 9, which is greater than 2. Applying IVT to f(x) = x^2 on the interval [0,3}.

Answer:

One solution

<em>BRAINLIEST, PLEASE!</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

2y - x = 6

2y = x + 6

y = x/2 + 3

y = 2x + 7

After graphing, they have one solution at (-2.667, 1.667).

Vector u has initial point at (3, 9) and terminal point at (–7, 5). Vector v has initial point at (1, –4) and terminal point at
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

⟨-5, -1⟩

Step-by-step explanation:

Vector:

A vector is given by its endpoint subtracted by its initial point.

Vector u has initial point at (3, 9) and terminal point at (–7, 5)

Then

u = (-7, 5) - (3,9) = (-7 - 3, 5 - 9) = (-10,-4)

Vector v has initial point at (1, –4) and terminal point at (6, –1).

Then

v = (6,-1) - (1,-4) = (6-1,-1-(-4)) = (5,3)

What is u + v in component form?

u + v = (-10,-4) + (5,3) = (-10+5,-4+3) = (-5,-1)

⟨-5, -1⟩ is the answer.
