In the xy plane, what is the y intercept of the graph of the equation y=2 (x+3)(x+4)?

1 answer:

4 0

The y-intercept is the value of y when the graph intersects the y-axis. Graphs intersect the y-axis when x=0, so we just substitute in x=0 to get:

y=2(0+3)(0+4)

y=2(3)(4)

y=24

Therefore, 24 is our answer.

Hope I helped :)

$f(x) = \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-x}}$

By definition of the derivative,

$f'(x) = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

We have

$f(x+h) = \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-(x+h)}}$

and

$f(x+h)-f(x) = \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-(x+h)}} - \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-x}}$

Combine these fractions into one with a common denominator:

$f(x+h)-f(x) = \dfrac{4\sqrt{3-x} - 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}}$

Rationalize the numerator by multiplying uniformly by the conjugate of the numerator, and simplify the result:

$f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{\left(4\sqrt{3-x} - 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{\left(4\sqrt{3-x}\right)^2 - \left(4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)^2}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{16(3-x) - 16(3-(x+h))}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{16h}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)}$

Now divide this by <em>h</em> and take the limit as <em>h</em> approaches 0 :

$\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-x}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-x}\right)} \\\\ \implies f'(x) = \dfrac{16}{4\left(\sqrt{3-x}\right)^3} = \boxed{\dfrac4{(3-x)^{3/2}}}$
