It is not differentiable at x=1 since the slope of the tangent line as x -> 1 from the right is 1 while the slope of the tangent line as x->1 from the left is -1

By definition of absolute value:

|x - 1| = \begin{cases} x - 1 & \text{if } x \ge 1 \\ -(x-1) & \text{if } x < 1 \end{cases}

Then the derivative is

\dfrac{d|x-1|}{dx} = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } x > 1 \\ -1 & \text{if } x < 1\end{cases}

but does not exist at x=1 because

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to1^-} f'(x) = -1

while

\displaystyle \lim_{x\to1^+} f'(x) = 1

and these limits are not equal, so the derivative is discontinuous and hence |x-1| is not differentiable at x=1.

Michelle is giving away prizes at one of her meetings.the prizes include 5 stress balls , 3 notepads , 2gift cards and 6 sticky
harina [27]

Answer:

13 out of 16 (13/16)

Step-by-step explanation:

Add all of the items together.

5 stress balls + 3 notepads + 2 gift cards + 6 sticky notes = 16 items

So, now you have to find the probability out of 16.

Since there are 5 stress balls and 2 gift cards, there is a 5 out of 16 chance of passing out stress balls(5/16) and a 2 out 16 chance of handing out gift cards(2/16)

So, she has a 3 out 16 chance of handing out stress balls more than gift cards.

hope this helps and makes sense:)

there are red and white roses in a vase 30% are red .there are 21 white roses.how many are there in total
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

21 roses are white so that is 70%

so that would be 70/100 and can reduce to 7/10

and the percent of red would be 3/10

so we can do 21 divided by 7 which equals 3

then we can do 3 x 3 because 3/10 which equals 9

then you do 21 + 9= 30

so the answer is 30.
