Answer: 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope (m) is defined by the formula change in y divided by the change in x. You could denote "change in" using Δ (delta).

The change in y is your final postion along the y-axis, subtracted by your initial position on the y axis.

The change in x is your final position among the x-axis, subtracted by your initial position.

Think of these two sets of coords like two positions. Your final y was 2, and your initial was also 2. Do 2 - 2 to get 0. We dont even need to solve for delta x because 0 divided by anything is zero. Therefore your slope will be 0. That basically means you have a critical point of the function. The tangent line will be completely horizontal along that interval of coords.

To find the slope of the line, I will be showing you the table method.

To find the slope of the line using the table method,

we start by making a table for our ordered pairs.

We will put the x values in the left column

and the y values in the right column.

Our first ordered pair is (-5, 2), so we put a

-5 in the x column and a 2 in the y column.

Our second ordered pair is (4, 2), so we put a

4 in the x column and a 2 in the y column.

Next, remember that the slope or <em>m</em>, is always equal to

the rate of change or the <em>change in y</em> over <em>the change in x</em>.

Using our table, we can see that the y values

go from 2 to 2 so the change in y is 0.

The x values go from -5 to 4 so the change in x is 9.

Therefore, the rate of change, or the change in y

over the change in x is 0/9 which simplifies 0.

This means that the slope is also equal to 0.

In a certain state, there are currently 5,902,060 acres of farmland. This area is decreasing at a rate of 4.3% every year. Selec
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

y=5,902,060*(.957)^t

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the original amount would be decreasing and it's an exponential one, hence the "every year", we can determine that it's an exponential decay equation.

The exponential delay equation is y=A*(1-r)^t. The y is the remaining amount, A is the original amount, r is the rate in decimal form, and t is for years. "1-r" is for decreasing rates and "1+r" is for increasing rates.

First thing we need to do is turn the rate, 4.3%, from a percentage to a decimal. You can do this by moving the decimal two places to the right, which gives you 0.043.

Now plug the numbers into the equation.

y=5,902,060*(1-0.043)^t

Simplify what's inside the parenthesis and get your final equation.

y=5,902,060*(.957)^t

Which graph represents the solution to the given system? <br> y = -2x + 5 and y = 3x - 2
sasho [114]
To find the X value of the solution, you would set the two equations equal to each other bu substitution:
if <span>y = -2x + 5 and y = 3x - 2, 
</span>-2x + 5 must be equal to 3x - 2
solve for x... you should get 7/5

then, plug that into one of the original equations as X and you would get the Y value, 11/5

This point, (7/5,11/5) is where the two lines cross

1/8 (3d-2) = 1/4 (d+5)
tatiyna
OK, so for this equation, your goal is to get the d, and ONLY the d, on one side of the equation. So, to start out, you need to multiply the entire equation, meaning both sides, by 8 because we are trying to get rid of those pesky fractions.
8(1/8(3d-2)=1/4(d+5))
The equation then turns into this because the 8 and 4 cancelled out with the 8.
1(3d-2)=2(d+5)
Now, we need to distribute the left over numbers into the parenthesis.
3d-2=2d+10
And finally, we need to get the d's on one side, and the numbers on the other, so we subtract 2d from both sides and add the 2 to both sides. They then cancel out to make
d=12
Hope it helps!  :)

Find the global maximum and global minimum values (if they exist) of x 2 + y 2 in the region x + y = 1. If there is no global ma
Grace [21]

Given that x+y=1, we have y=1-x, so that

f(x,y)=x^2+y^2\iff g(x)=x^2+(1-x)^2

Take the derivative and find the critical points of g:

g'(x)=2x-2(1-x)=4x-2=0\implies x=\dfrac12

Take the second derivative and evaluate it at the critical point:

g''(x)=4>0

Since g'' is positive for all x, the critical point is a minimum.

At the critical point, we get the minimum value g\left(\frac12\right)=f\left(\frac12,\frac12\right)=\frac12.
