We solve this by the definition of slope in analytical geometry. The definition of slope is the rise over run. In equation, that would be

m = Δy/Δx = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

The x-coordinates here are the t values, while the y-coordinates are the f(t) values. So, let's find the y values of the boundaries.

At t=2: f(t)= 0.25(2)²<span> − 0.5(2) + 3.5 = 3.5
Point 1 is (2, 3.5)
At t=6: </span>f(t)= 0.25(6)² − 0.5(6) + 3.5 = 9.5
Point 2 is (6, 9.5)

The slope would then be

m = (9.5-3.5)/(6-2)
m = 1.5

Hence, the slope is 1.5. Interpreting the data, the rate of change between t=2 and t=6 is 1.5 thousands per year.

Answer:

  f(x)\rightarrow 1\ \text{as}\ x\rightarrow\pm\infty

Step-by-step explanation:

"End behavior" generally refers to the behavior as the independent variable (x) gets large in the positive or negative directions. Here, the curve for large magnitude x flattens out and approaches 1. So, we say ...

  f(x)\rightarrow 1\ \text{as}\ x\rightarrow\pm\infty

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to -2/7x+9 that passes through the point (4, -6)
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

7y + 2x + 34 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient for perpendicular, m = -2/7

The formular equation, y - y1 = m(x - x1)

The equation of line through (4, -6) is:

y - (-6) = -2/7(x - 4)

y + 6 = -2x/7 + 8/7

7y + 42 + 2x - 8 = 0

7y + 2x + 34 = 0
