What is the difference between x and dx?

Mathematics

N76 [4]3 years ago
8 0

This response is based upon your having had some background in calculus. "dx" is not introduced before that.

Take a look at the sample function y = f(x) = x^2 + 9. Here x is the independent variable; the dependent variable y changes with x.

Now, for a big jump: we consider finding the area under a curve (graph) between x = a and x = b. We subdivide that interval [a,b] into n vertical slices of area. Each of those slices has its own area: f(x)*dx, where dx represents the width of such subarea. f(x)*dx is the actual subarea. To find the total area under the curve f(x) between x= a and x = b, we add up all of these individual subareas between x = a and x = b. Note that the subinterval width is

b-a

dx = ---------- , and that dx becomes smaller and smaller as the number of

n subintervals increases.

Once again, this all makes sense only if you've begun calculus (particularly integral calculus). Do not try to relate it to earlier math courses.

The ordered pair below is a solution to which equation? (2, 12) A.y=1/5x B.y=1/2x C. y = 2x D. y = 6x
Orlov [11]
D. y = 6x...subbing in (2,12)...x = 2 and y = 12
    12 = 6(2)
    12 = 12 (correct)

so (2,12) is a solution to : y = 6x

Answer:

(xy - 4)(xy + 4).

Step-by-step explanation:

The is the difference of 2 squares.  

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b: so we have:

Answer:

G. 7

Explanation:

The longest side must be less than the sum of the two shorter sides.

The difference between the longest and shortest sides must be less than the middle side.

l+a = 11

l < (a + 4) ... l < (11 - l + 4)

... 2 l < 15 ... l <  7.5

--Variables

l = 7 (Longest Side/Answer)

a = 4 (Other Missing Length)

m = 4 (Side Given)

Duane has 12 times as many baseball cards as tony. between them they have 208 baseball cards. how many baseball cards does each
omeli [17]
There are a total of 208 cards.  For every one card Tony has, Duane has 12, which means that there are 13 cards in each "set." If you divide the total number of cards (208) by 13, you get 16 "sets."  So out of the total 208 cards, Tony has 16 cards and Duane has 12 times 16 or 192 cards.
