By "y = −9x2 − 2x" I assume you meant <span>y = −9x^2 − 2x (the "^" symbol represents exponentiation).
Let's find the first derivative of y with respect to x: dy/dx = -18x - 2. This is equivalent to the slope of the tangent line to the (parabolic) curve. Now let this derivative (slope) = 0 and solve for the critical value: -18x - 2 = 0, or
-18x = 2. Solving for x, x = -2/18, or x = -1/9.
When x = -1/9, y = -9(-1/9)^2 - 2(-1/9). This simplifies to y = -9/9 + 2/9, or
y = -7/9.
The only point at which the tangent to the curve is horiz. is (-1/9,-7/9).</span>
Factor the coefficients:
-12=(-1)(3)(2^2)
-9=(-1)(3^2)
3=3
The greatest common factor (GCF) is 3
Next we find the GCF for the variable x.
x^4
x^3
x^2
The GCF is x^2.
Next GCF for variable y.
y
y^2
y^3
the GCF is y
Therefore the GCF is 3x^2y
To factor this out, we need to divide each term by the GCF,
(3x^2y)(−12x4y/(3x^2y) − 9x3y2/(3x^2y) + 3x2y3/(3x^2y) )
=(3x^2y)(-4x^2-3xy+y^2)
if we wish, we can factor further:
(3x^2y)(y-4x)(x+y)
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
1.75 ( would be the coffee) + 1.50d (donuts each but an unknown quantity)
total amount must be less than $37 dollars
Your answer would be 37.00 - 1.75 = 35.25 cents
35.25 / 1.50 = 23.5 donuts - you can not purchase a half of a donut so you can buy 1 coffee and 23 donuts for $36.25
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
calculate the slope m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 0) ← 2 points on the line
m = 
= 
= - 
the y- intercept is the value of y where the line crosses the y- axis , then
y- intercept = 2
Answer:
= 3n + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
there is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is
10 - 7 = 13 - 10 = 16 - 13 = 3
this indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
here a₁ = 7 and d = 3 , then
= 7 + 3(n - 1) = 7 + 3n - 3 = 3n + 4
