2 answers:

8 0

Using the formula for lines y=mx+b
To find out the gradient of the line, we do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
(3-6)/(-1-2)= -3/-3= 1 is the slope of the line
So far, y=(1)x+b
Now substitute one of your given coordinates into this equation:
6=2+b
b=4
Therefore, the equation of the line is y=x+4

brilliants [131]

Answer:

1) increasing on (-∞,-1] ∪ [1,∞), decreasing on [-1,0) ∪ (0,1]

$x = -1$ is local maximum, $x = 1$ is local minimum

2) increasing on [1,∞), decreasing on (-∞,0) ∪ (0,1]

$x = 1$ is absolute minimum

3) increasing on (-∞,0] ∪ [8,∞), decreasing on [0,4) ∪ (4,8]

$x = 0$ is local maximum, $x = 8$ is local minimum

4) increasing on [2,∞), decreasing on (-∞,2]

$x = 2$ is absolute minimum

5) increasing on the interval (0,4/9], decreasing on the interval [4/9,∞)

$x = 0$ is local minimum, $x = 4/9$ is absolute maximum

Step-by-step explanation:

To find minima and maxima the of the function, we must take the derivative and equalize it to zero to find the roots.

1) $f(x) = 6x + 6/x$

$f\prime(x) = 6 - 6/x^2 = 0$ and $x \neq 0$

So, the roots are $x = -1$ and $x = 1$

The function is increasing on the interval (-∞,-1] ∪ [1,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval [-1,0) ∪ (0,1]

$x = -1$ is local maximum, $x = 1$ is local minimum.

2) $f(x)=6-4/x+2/x^2$

$f\prime(x)=4/x^2-4/x^3=0$ and $x \neq 0$

So the root is $x = 1$

The function is increasing on the interval [1,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval (-∞,0) ∪ (0,1]

$x = 1$ is absolute minimum.

3) $f(x) = 8x^2/(x-4)$

$f\prime(x) = (8x^2-64x)/(x-4)^2=0$ and $x \neq 4$

So the roots are $x = 0$ and $x = 8$

The function is increasing on the interval (-∞,0] ∪ [8,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval [0,4) ∪ (4,8]

$x = 0$ is local maximum, $x = 8$ is local minimum.

4) $f(x)=6(x-2)^{2/3} +4=0$

$f\prime(x) = 4/(x-2)^{1/3}$ has no solution and $x = 2$ is crtitical point.

The function is increasing on the interval [2,∞)

The function is decreasing on the interval (-∞,2]

$x = 2$ is absolute minimum.

5) $f(x)=8\sqrt x - 6x$ for $x>0$

$f\prime(x) = (4/\sqrt x)-6 = 0$

So the root is $x = 4/9$

The function is increasing on the interval (0,4/9]

The function is decreasing on the interval [4/9,∞)

$x = 0$ is local minimum, $x = 4/9$ is absolute maximum.

Three stamps can be attached to each other in various ways.how many ways might three stamps be attached?

ivanzaharov [21]

Let's call the stamps A, B, and C. They can each be used only once. I assume all 3 must be used in each possible arrangement.
There are two ways to solve this. We can list each possible arrangement of stamps, or we can plug in the numbers to a formula.
Let's find all possible arrangements first. We can easily start spouting out possible arrangements of the 3 stamps, but to make sure we find them all, let's go in alphabetical order. First, let's look at the arrangements that start with A:
ABC
ACB
There are no other ways to arrange 3 stamps with the first stamp being A. Let's look at the ways to arrange them starting with B:
BAC
BCA
Try finding the arrangements that start with C:
C_ _
C_ _
Or we can try a little formula; y×(y-1)×(y-2)×(y-3)...until the (y-x) = 1 where y=the number of items.
In this case there are 3 stamps, so y=3, and the formula looks like this: 3×(3-1)×(3-2).
Confused? Let me explain why it works.
There are 3 possibilities for the first stamp: A, B, or C.
There are 2 possibilities for the second space: The two stamps that are not in the first space.
There is 1 possibility for the third space: the stamp not used in the first or second space.
So the number of possibilities, in this case, is 3×2×1.
We can see that the number of ways that 3 stamps can be attached is the same regardless of method used.

Algebra 2 inverse functions

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The inverse function is:

{(1,8), (2,-1), (5,10), (-3,-3)}

Step-by-step explanation:

When a function is represented in the form of ordered pairs, the first element of each ordered pair is the input and the second element in each ordered pair is the output. In the inverse of a function the input becomes output and the output becomes input.

Given function is:

{(8,1), (-1,2), (10,5), (-3,-3)}

Reversing the order of elements of ordered pairs will given us the inverse function.

The inverse function is:

{(1,8), (2,-1), (5,10), (-3,-3)}
