Solve for b:
5 a (b - c) = d
Divide both sides by 5 a:
b - c = d/(5 a)
Add c to both sides:
Answer: b = c + d/(5 a)

What is the positive slope of the asymptote of (y+11)^2/100-(x-6)^2/4=1? The positive slope of the asymptote is .

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

the positive slope of the asymptote = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

$\frac{(y+11)^2}{100} -\frac{(x-6)^2}{4} =1$

Using the standard form of the equation:

$\frac{(y-k)^2}{a^2}-\frac{(x-h)^2}{b^2}= 1$

where:

(h,k) are the center of the hyperbola.

and the y term is in front of the x term indicating that the hyperbola opens up and down.

a = distance that indicates how far above and below of the center the vertices of the hyperbola are.

For the above standard equation; the equation for the asymptote is:

$y = \pm \frac{a}{b} (x-h)+k$

where;

$\frac{a}{b}$ is the slope

From above;

(h,k) = 11, 100

$a^2$ = 100

a = $\sqrt{100}$

a = 10

$b^2 =4$

b = $\sqrt{4}$

b = 2

$y = \pm \frac{10}{2} (x-11)+2$

$y = \pm 5 (x-11)+2$

y = 5x-53 , -5x -57

Since we are to find the positive slope of the asymptote: we have

$\frac{a}{b}$ to be the slope in the equation $y = \pm \frac{10}{2} (y-11)+2$

$\frac{a}{b}$ = $\frac{10}{2}$

$\frac{a}{b}$ = 5

Thus, the positive slope of the asymptote = 5

Which graph represents an even function?

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

last graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Graphs of functions that are ODD, are symmetric about the origin.

Graphs of function that are EVEN, are symmetric about y-axis.

We need to figure out which one of the 4 are EVEN. So we take y-axis as the mirror and see both sides, LEFT and RIGHT and see i the points are symmetric or not.

Graph 1, 2, 3 ---- not symmetric about y-axis

Graph 4 ------- Definitely every point to left side of y-axis has a corresponding mirror point to the right of y-axis. So this is an EVEN FUNCTION.

Can you find the limits of this

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -2} \frac{x^3 + 8}{x^4 - 16} = \frac{-3}{8}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Limits

Limit Rule [Constant]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} b = b$

Limit Rule [Variable Direct Substitution]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} x = c$

Limit Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \lim_{x \to c} [f(x) \pm g(x)] = \lim_{x \to c} f(x) \pm \lim_{x \to c} g(x)$

L'Hopital's Rule

Differentiation

Derivatives
Derivative Notation

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]$

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following limit:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -2} \frac{x^3 + 8}{x^4 - 16}$

Let's substitute in x = -2 using the limit rule:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -2} \frac{x^3 + 8}{x^4 - 16} = \frac{(-2)^3 + 8}{(-2)^4 - 16}$

Evaluating this, we arrive at an indeterminate form:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -2} \frac{x^3 + 8}{x^4 - 16} = \frac{0}{0}$

Since we have an indeterminate form, let's use L'Hopital's Rule. Differentiate both the numerator and denominator respectively:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -2} \frac{x^3 + 8}{x^4 - 16} = \lim_{x \to -2} \frac{3x^2}{4x^3}$

Substitute in x = -2 using the limit rule:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -2} \frac{3x^2}{4x^3} = \frac{3(-2)^2}{4(-2)^3}$

Evaluating this, we get:

$\displaystyle \lim_{x \to -2} \frac{3x^2}{4x^3} = \frac{-3}{8}$

And we have our answer.
