y = 3x - 3 is the equation of the linear function passing through (2, 3) and (5, 12)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to find the equation of linear function passing through (2, 3) and (5, 12)

The formula y = mx + b is said to be a linear function

Where "m" is the slope of line and "b" is the y - intercept

Let us first find the slope of line

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

\text {Here } x_{1}=2 ; y_{1}=3 ; x_{2}=5 ; y_{2}=12

Substituting values we get,

m=\frac{12-3}{5-2}=\frac{9}{3}=3

Thus slope of line is m = 3

To find the y - intercept, substitute m = 3 and (x, y) = (2, 3) in y = mx + b

3 = 3(2) + b

3 = 6 + b

b = 3 - 6

b = -3

Thus the required equation of linear function is:

Substitute m = 3 and b = -3 in formula

y = mx + b

y = 3x - 3

Thus the equation of linear function is found

What is the derivative of e^x^2? and the second derivative if you can include as well. im not sure what the rule is. is it 2xe^x
Yuri [45]
Thats correct for first derivative ( use the chain rule)

For the second derivative you use product rule and the chain rule

= 2x * 2x e^(x^2)  + 2 e^(x^2)
=  4x^2 e^(x^2) + 2e^(x^2)

you are right

PLEASE HELP!!<br> What is 6.746913 rounded to the nearest tenths place?
Maslowich

6.746913

Since 3 is less than 5 it drops: 6.74691

Since 1 is less than 5 it drops: 6.7469

Since 9 is more than 5 it carries a one over: 6.747

Since 7 is more than 5 it carries a one over: 6.75

Since 5 is equal to 5 it carries a one over: 6.8

The answer is 6.8
