The derivative is the gradient.

At any local Max's or min's the derivative graph will cut the x axis.

For example a graph x^2
The derivative will have a positive gradient as the gradient is increasing at the lower values then at x=0 the gradient is 0 so the derivative graph will pass the point (0,0). Remember that the derivative graph will be linear.

To get more detail find the points the graph crosses the x axis and put into for a(x-q)(x-p)=0 you will have to solve for 'a' by finding a point on the graph and substituting it in. Then you can find the derivative of that function and graph it

The smaller rectangle is a 13 scale drawing of the original figure. Use the drop-down menus to show the missing dimensions of th

juin [17]

The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
factor scale=1/13
factor scale=[dimension smaller rectangle]/[dimension original rectangle]
so
[dimension smaller rectangle]=[factor scale]*[dimension original rectangle]

a) for l=36 cm in the original rectangle
[dimension smaller rectangle]=[1/13]*[36]--------> 2.77 cm

b) for w=28 cm in the original rectangle
[dimension smaller rectangle]=[1/13]*[28]--------> 2.15 cm

c) [area smaller rectangle]=2.77*2.15------> 5.96 cm²

George bought a Christmas tree to put in his living room.He paid$50 for his tree. After he took it home, he realized it was too

NISA [10]

George's financial outcome was $70. He bought it for $50, and then he sold it for $60 in return. He bought it for $70 again, so subtract 60-70= -10. He then sold it for $80 which he gained so -10 + 80 = $70.

In the diagram below, angle 7 equals 61°.<br><br><br><br> What is the measure of angle 8?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

119

Step-by-step explanation:

So angle 6 equals angle 7 vertically opp angles. So 61 times 2 is 122. Total angles around a point is 360. So 360 - 122 is 238 which divided by 2 will give 119 cause angle 8 equals angle 5.
