Answer:

y = 3x - 2 (smaller y-intercept)

y = 3x + 2 (larger y-intercept)

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's write the generic equation of a line:

y = ax + b

This line needs to be parallel to the line 3x - y + 5 = 0, so it needs to have the same slope of this line.

The line 3x - y + 5 = 0 has a slope of 3, so our line has a = 3:

y = 3x + b

Now we need to find the values of b that make this line tangent to the function f(x) = x^3

Let's first find the derivative of f(x) in relation to x:

df(x)/dx = 3x^2

This derivative is the slope of the tangent line to the function for any value of x. We need a slope of 3, so:

3x^2 = 3

x^2 = 1

x = ±1

Now, to find the y-values, we have:

f(1) = 1^3 = 1

f(-1) = (-1)^3 = -1

So, using the points (1,1) and (-1,-1) in our parallel line, we have:

first line using (1,1) : 1 = 3*1 + b

b = -2

second line using (-1,-1) : -1 = -3*1 + b

b = 2

The value of b is the y-intercept of the line, so the line with smaller y-intercept is y = 3x - 2, and the line with larger y-intercept is y = 3x + 2

How can you use doubles when multiplying with 4 to find 4x8
pshichka [43]
4 = 2 * 2

Multiplying by 2 is the same a doubling.
Since 4 is 2 * 2, to multiply a number by 4, double the number twice.

Example:
What is 4 * 100?
Double 100 to get 200.
Double 200 to get 400.
Therefore, 4 * 100 = 400.
By doubling twice, we do the same as multiplying by 4.

A scale drawing of a car is presented in the following three scales. Order the scale drawings from smallest to largest. Explain
Elanso [62]

The order of the scale drawings from smallest to largest is

Smallest

1 in to 1 ft

Second smallest

1 in to 1 yd

Largest

1 in to 1 m

Given the following scales:

1 in to 1 ft

1 in to 1 m

1 in to 1 yd

We are to arrange the scales from smallest to largest.

Since 1 in is used as the base conversion for all the scales, we can convert the other scales to yards for consistency's sake.

Convert 1m to yards

1m = 1.1yards (From the question)

Convert 1ft to yards. According to conversion factor;

1 feet = 0.333333 yards

Ordering the scales from smallest to largest will give

0.33333yard (1 in to 1 ft), 1 yard (1 in to 1 yd), 1.1yards (1 in to 1 m)
