Answer:

The Slope of AB: 5/1

The Slope of DC: -1/5

The Slope of BC: 2/3

The Slope of AD: 2/3

The quadrilateral is a trapezoid because BC and AD are parallel to each other while AB and DC are congruent.

Answer:   Yes, the quadrilateral ABCD is a TRAPEZOID.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the co-ordiantes of the vertices of quadrilateral ABCD are  A(–4, –5), B(–3, 0), C(0, 2), and D(5, 1).

We are to determine whether the quadrilateral ABCD is a trapezoid or not.

<u><em>TRAPEZOID:</em></u><em>  It is a quadrilateral having one pair of opposite sides parallel.</em>

We will find the slopes of all the sides AB, BC, CD and DA of quadrilateral ABCD as follows:

\textup{slope of AB}=\dfrac{0-(-5)}{-3-(-4)}=\dfrac{5}{1}=5,\\\\\\\textup{slope of BC}=\dfrac{2-0}{0-(-3)}=\dfrac{2}{3},\\\\\\\textup{slope of CD}=\dfrac{1-2}{5-0}=\dfrac{-1}{5}=-\dfrac{1}{5},\\\\\\\textup{slope of DA}=\dfrac{-5-1}{-4-(-5)}=\dfrac{-6}{-9}=\dfrac{2}{3}.

Since the slopes of sides BC and DA are equal, so the sides are parallel.

Hence, the quadrilateral ABCD has one pair of opposite sides parallel.

Thus, quadrilateral ABCD is a TRAPEZOID.

Limit definition for slope of the graph, equation of tangent line point for<br> f(x)=2x^2 at x=(-1)
Tems11 [23]

The slope of the tangent line to f at x=-1 is given by the derivative of f at that point:

f'(-1)=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-1}\frac{f(x)-f(-1)}{x-(-1)}=\lim_{x\to-1}\frac{2x^2-2}{x+1}

Factorize the numerator:

2x^2-2=2(x^2-1)=2(x-1)(x+1)

We have x approaching -1; in particular, this means x\neq-1, so that

\dfrac{2x^2-2}{x+1}=\dfrac{2(x-1)(x+1)}{x+1}=2(x-1)

Then

f'(-1)=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-1}\frac{2x^2-2}{x+1}=\lim_{x\to-1}2(x-1)=2(-1-1)=-4

and the tangent line's equation is

y-f(-1)=f'(-1)(x-(-1))\implies y-4x-2

This question is not correctly written

Correct question

Noah drank 4/5 liter of water Monday before going jogging. He drank 2/3 liter of water after his jog. How much water did Noah drink altogether? Write your answer as a mixed number.

Answer:

1\frac{7}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

Noah drank 4/5 liter of water Monday before going jogging. He drank 2/3 liter of water after his jog.

To find the total liters of water he drank, we should add up the liter of water  he drank on Monday before going jogging and  liter of water after his jog.

4/5 + 2/3

Find the Lowest Common Multiple for 5 and 3 , which is 15.

= [(4×3) + (2×5)] /15

= 12 + 10/ 15

= 22/15

As a mixed Fraction, the answer

= 1\frac{7}{15}
