The general line through (a,b) and (c,d) is
(c-a)(y-b)=(d-b)(x-a)
Here that's
(1 - - 5)(y - - 5) = (4 - -5)(x - - 5)
6(y+5)=9(x+5)
6y + 30 = 9x + 45
-15 = 9x - 6y
3x - 2y = -5
Answer: 3x - 2y = -5
We could put that in slope intercept form,
2y = 3x + 5
y = (3/2) x + 5/2
Answer: y = (3/2) x + 5/2
For a parabola that opens upward, it must be a quadratic equation whose coefficient of x2 is a positive number.
So, I'll say x2+5x+6.
Answer:
f(g(h(x))) = (sqrt(x) - 1)^4 + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^4 + 4
g(x) = x - 1
h(x) = sqrt(x)
g(h(x)) = sqrt(x) - 1
f(g(h(x))) = (sqrt(x) - 1)^4 + 4
Substitute the values in the expression
b-a=3-2=1
answer b-a=1
