The answer would be only A
Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
the FIRST derivative of a function tells us the slope of a tangent line to the curve at any point. if is positive, then the curve must be increasing. If is negative, then the curve must be decreasing.
the SECOND derivative gives us the slope of the slope function (in other words how fast the slope of the original function changes, and if it is accelerating up - positive - or if it is avengers down - negative).
so, the first derivative would be fully sufficient to get the answer of if the slope of the function at that point is positive or negative.
but because it is only a "if" condition and not a "if and only if" condition, the statement is still true.
there are enough cases, where the slope is positive, but the second derivative is not > 0 (usually = 0).
but if even the second derivative is positive, then, yes, the slope of the original function must be positive too.
Answer:
0.125 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the height of a ball above the ground as a function of time is given by the function 
, where h is the height of the ball in feet and t is the time in seconds.
We can see that our given equation is a downward opening parabola as its leading coefficient is negative. The maximum point will be vertex of parabola.
To find the time, when the ball would be at its maximum height, we need to find the x-coordinate of vertex.
Using formula 
, we will find the x-coordinate of vertex of parabola as:
Therefore, the ball will be at a maximum height after 0.125 seconds.
Answer:
a. (15, 15)
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with those two equations:
1) a - 1.2b = -3
2) 0.2b + 0.6a = 12
We'll begin by modifying equation #1 to isolate a:
a = -3 + 1.2b
Then we'll use this value for a in the second equation:
0.2b + 0.6 (-3 + 1.2b) = 12
0.2b - 1.8 + 0.72b = 12
0.92b = 13.8
b = 15
Then we'll place that value of b in the first equation to find a:
a - 1.2 (15) = -3
a - 18 = -3
a = 15
