Use technology to find points and then graph the line y=-5(x-5)+1 following the instructions below.
1 answer:
Given:
First, let us find two points from this equation.
We can set values of x and then solve for y.
Let us find the values of y when x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
We now have a set of points:
(1, 21)
(2, 16)
(3, 11)
(4, 6)
(5, 1)
Since the given plane is limited to values of 10 and -10, the points that we can plot are the points (4, 6) and (5, 1)
The graph would then look like this:

Answer:
A. As "a"⇒e, the function f(x)=aˣ tends to be its derivative.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. To show the stretched relation between the fact that "a"⇒e and the derivatives of the function, let´s differentiate f(x) without a value for "a" (leaving it as a constant):
The process will help us to understand what is happening, at first we rewrite the function:
And then, we use the chain rule to differentiate:
Notice the only difference between f(x) and its derivative is the new factor ln(a). But we know that ln(e)=1, this tell us that as "a"⇒e, ln(a)⇒1 (because ln(x) is a continuous function in (0,∞) ) and as a consequence f'(x)⇒f(x).
In the graph that is attached it´s shown that the functions follows this inequality (the segmented lines are the derivatives):
if a<e<b, then aˣln(a) < aˣ < eˣ < bˣ < bˣln(b) (and below we explain why this happen)
Considering that ln(a) is a growing function and ln(e)=1, we have:
if a<e<b, then ln(a)< 1 <ln(b)
if a<e, then aˣln(a)<aˣ
if e<b, then bˣ<bˣln(b)
And because eˣ is defined to be the same as its derivative, the cases above results in the following
if a<e<b, then aˣ < eˣ < bˣ (because this function is also a growing function as "a" and "b" gets closer to e)
if a<e, then aˣln(a)<aˣ<eˣ ( f'(x)<f(x) )
if e<b, then eˣ<bˣ<bˣln(b) ( f(x)<f'(x) )
but as "a"⇒e, the difference between f(x) and f'(x) begin to decrease until it gets zero (when a=e)
