1. Find the equation.
2. Get two points. 
3. Take the derivative of the parabola. 
4. Use slope formula and set the slope of each tangent line to the point. 
5.Equal the slope to (x,x^2)
6. Solve for x
8.Take the x-coordinates of tangency and plug each of the coordinates into y=x^2
9. Find the y-coordinates.

Which equation describes the pattern of the data in the table?
slega [8]

Answer:

Option A. y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

X >> Y

3 >> 12

4 >> 16

5 >> 20

6 >> 24

7 >> 28

Next, we shall use each of the options to obtain the first two value of y to which will correspond to the table above. This is illustrated below:

For Option A:

1. y = 4x

x = 3

y = 4 × 3

y = 12

2. y = 4x

x = 4

y = 4 × 4

y = 16

For Option B:

1. y = 4x + 12

x = 3

y = 4(3) + 12

y = 12 + 12

y = 24

2. y = 4x + 12

x = 4

y = 4(4) + 12

y = 16 + 12

y = 28

For Option C:

1. y = ¼ x

x = 3

y = ¼ × 3

y = ¾

2. y = ¼ x

x = 4

y = ¼ × 4

y = 1

For Option D:

1. y = ¼x + 12

x = 3

y = ¼(3) + 12

y = ¾ + 12

y = 51/4

2. y = ¼x + 12

x = 4

y = ¼(4) + 12

y = 1 + 12

y = 13

From the calculations made above, only option A ie. y = 4x correspond to the data given in the table above.

X) = 5x^3 -2x and g(x) =3x^3. Find f(x) + g(x) & state the domain!
expeople1 [14]
To add two functions, combine like terms. (5+3x^(3)) = 8x^3-2x. The domain is all real numbers. There is no bound on how small or large the numbers can be for cubed functions.

Sheree’s brother gave samuel his collection of stamps when she left for college. at that time, the value of the collection was $
AlekseyPX

The rate of change of stamp collection was $57.5 per year.

Rate is comparison of two related quantities.

Often the second quantity is time (per second, per hour, etc) but it can be anything.

Can be in the style "this per that" or as a single number calculated using division.

Example: Sam makes 3 pancakes every 6 minutes, that is a rate of:

• 3 pancakes per 6 minutes

• 0.5 pancakes per minute

• 30 pancakes per hour

• an hourly rate of 30

By formula the rate of change = Change in cost/ Time taken

=( $980 - $420)/ 8years

= $460/ 8 years

= $57.5 per year

Thus the rate of change of stamp collection was $57.5 per year.

1/2in = 16 mi
2 3/4 in without whole numbers [(denominator ×whole) + numerator] / denominator
4×2 = 8 +3 = 11/4
Find common denominator for 1/2 and 11/4 (common D Is 4)
Multiply 1/2 by 2/2
2/4 in = 16 mi divide this by 2
2/4 ×1/2 = 1/4
16 /2 = 8
1/4 = 8
1/4 goes into 11/4 11 times
Multiply 8 times 11
88 miles (D)

End zone to end zone is = length so his scale is 6 in and in real life it is 360 ft
To find scale divide 360 by 6
1in = 60 ft (B)

160 ft wide
(divide 160 by 60 ft ) fraction
160/60 is a fraction now simplify
16/6
Common factors of both numbers is 2
Simplify by 2
8/3
Make into whole number fraction
3 goes into 8 two times (2×3=6)(2 becomes whole number) while there's is 2 left over( 8 -6=2) (becoming the numerator)
2 2/3 in (B)

120 ft long
80 ft wide

24 in is scale of "long"
Divide 120 by 24
120÷24=5
So 5in in scale equals 1ft in real life
To find width in scale divide 80 by 5
80/5= 16in (A)

If you have any trouble understanding feel free to let me know I will try to explain as best as I can :)
