It is 4 ft tall because you would multiply it by to since you divide by 2 to get from 8 to 4.

Describe in a couple of sentences what key features you can identify from the graph of a quadratic equation?

bezimeni [28]

From the graph of a quadratic equation, you can find:
The roots. These are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis, and is the solution of the quadratic equation when y=0. Usually, there are either two or zero.
The coefficient of the leading term. In the quadratic equation y= ax^2 + bx + c,
the parabola points upward if a is positive, and downward if a is negative.
The vertex. You can find the vertex, or where the two sides of the parabola meet, by looking at the graph.

Find the particular solution of the differential equation that satisfies the initial condition(s). f ''(x) = x−3/2, f '(4) = 1,

sweet [91]

Answer:

Hence, the particular solution of the differential equation is $y = \frac{1}{6} \cdot x^{3} - \frac{3}{4}\cdot x^{2} - x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

This differential equation has separable variable and can be solved by integration. First derivative is now obtained:

$f'' = x - \frac{3}{2}$

$f' = \int {\left(x-\frac{3}{2}\right) } \, dx$

$f' = \int {x} \, dx -\frac{3}{2}\int \, dx$

$f' = \frac{1}{2}\cdot x^{2} - \frac{3}{2}\cdot x + C$ , where C is the integration constant.

The integration constant can be found by using the initial condition for the first derivative ( $f'(4) = 1$ ):

$1 = \frac{1}{2}\cdot 4^{2} - \frac{3}{2}\cdot (4) + C$

$C = 1 - \frac{1}{2}\cdot 4^{2} + \frac{3}{2}\cdot (4)$

$C = -1$

The first derivative is $y' = \frac{1}{2}\cdot x^{2}- \frac{3}{2}\cdot x - 1$ , and the particular solution is found by integrating one more time and using the initial condition ( $f(0) = 0$ ):
