Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first derivative simplifies to ...
d/dx( ) = -(x^2 +6x -47)/(x^2 -9x +20)^2
This has zeros that can be found by the usual methods of solving quadratics:
x = -3 ±2√14
The positive value of x corresponds to what I might call an "apex." (See the first attachment.) The negative value is where the function turns around an approaches the horizontal asymptote from below. (See the second attachment.)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
hg(x) means you multiply h(x) times g(x) and then we will set it equal to .
hg(x) = which simplifies to
. Now set that equal to
:
and get everything on the same side and factor:
. Factor by grouping:
and factor out what's common in each set of ( ):
which factors out to
. But
factors somoe to:
(x + 1)(x - 1)(x - 1) = 0 So the solutions for this are
x = -1, 1
To find the equation of the line, we need to figure out the slope and y-intercept.
To find the y-intercept, look at the number where the line intersects the y-axis. The number is 5. The equation so far is y = ?x + 5.
We still didn't figure out the slope yet. To figure out the slope, pick two points. Use the rise over run method. It is in the image below. The line is going up to the left, so the slope will be negative. Now we know the slope is -1/3. The equation now that we figured out the slope is y = -1/3x + 5.
I hope this helps you! Let me know if I got something wrong.
