Compute delta y/delta x for the interval [2,5], where y = 4x - 9.

1 answer:

3 0

We have to compute: Δ y / Δ x.
The interval is [ 2, 5 ] and y = 4 x - 9.
y 1 = 4 · 2 - 9 = 8 - 9 = - 1
y 2 = 4 · 5 - 9 = 20 - 9 = 11
Δ y / Δ x = ( y 2 - y 1 ) / ( x 2 - x 1 ) =
= ( 11 - ( - 1 ) ) / ( 5 - 2 ) = ( 11 + 1 ) / 3 = 12 / 3 = 4
Answer:
Δ y / Δ x = 4

Ans(a):

Given function is $f(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}$

we know that any rational function is not defined when denominator is 0 so that means denominator x+4 can't be 0

so let's solve

x+4≠0 for x

x≠0-4

x≠-4

Hence at x=4, function can't have solution.

Ans(b):

We know that vertical shift occurs when we add something on the right side of function so vertical shift by 4 units means add 4 to f(x)

so we get:

g(x)=f(x)+4

$g(x)=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}+4$

We may simplify this equation but that is not compulsory.

Comparision:

Graph of g(x) will be just 4 unit upward than graph of f(x).

Ans(c):

To find value of x when g(x)=8, just plug g(x)=8 in previous equation

$8=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}+4$

$8-4=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}$

$4=\frac{3x-1}{x+4}$

$4(x+4)=(3x-1)$

$4x+16=3x-1$

4x-3x=-1-16

x=-17

Hence final answer is x=-17

Answer: (D) 9

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle. Since the legs are congruent, then the base angles are congruent.

9x + 3 = 84

- 3 -3

9x = 81

÷9 ÷9

x = 9

A gardener wants to create a rectangular vegetable garden in a backyard. She wants it to have a total area of 120 square feet, a

This is an area problem. The key words are 120 square feet and 12 feet longer.
And of course width is a key word when you are reading this.

Formula
Area = L * W

Givens
W = W
L = W + 12

Substitute and Solve
Area = L* W
120 = W*(W + 12)
W^2 + 12W = 120 square feet
w^2 + 12w - 120 = 0

This does not factor easily. I would have thought that a graph might help but not if the dimension has to be to the nearest 1/100 of a foot. The only thing we can do is use the quadratic formula.

a = 1
b = 12
c = - 120

w = [ -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) ]/(2a)
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(12^2 - 4*(1)(-120)] / 2*1
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(144 - (-480)]/2
w = [-12 +/- sqrt(624)] / 2
w = [- 12 +/- 24.979992] / 2 The minus root has no meaning whatever.
w = (12.979992) / 2
w = 6.489995 I'll round all this when I get done

L = w + 12
L = 6.489995 + 12
L = 18.489995

check
Area = L * W
Area = 6.489995*18.489995
Area = 119.999935 The difference is a rounding error

Answer
L = 18.489995 = 18.49 feet
W = 6.489995 = 6.49 feet

Note: in the check if you round first to the answer, LW = 120.0001 when you find the area for the check. Kind of strange how that nearest 1/100th makes a difference.
