The function f(x) goes down by two and over by one:
slope = rise/run = -2/1 = -2.
The slope of f(x) is -2, while the slope of g(x) is -6.
Since -2 is a greater number than -6, the answer is:
C) <span>The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x). </span>
1 cm = 45 km
x cm = 135 km
135/45 = 3 cm
distance between the towns on the map is 3 cm.
i hope this helps :)
Surface area of box=1200 cm²
<span>Volume of box=s²h </span>
<span>s = side of square base </span>
<span>h = height of box </span>
<span>S.A. = s² + 4sh </span>
<span>S.A. = surface area or 1200 cm², s²
= the square base, and 4sh = the four 'walls' of the box. </span>
<span>1200 = s² + 4sh </span>
<span>1200 - s² = 4sh </span>
<span>(1200 - s²)/(4s) = h </span>
<span>v(s) = s²((1200 - s²)/(4s)) </span>
<span>v(s) = s(1200 - s²)/4 . </span>
<span>v(s) = 300s - (1/4)s^3</span>
by derivating
<span>v'(s) = 300 - (3/4)s² </span>
<span>0 = 300 - (3/4)s² </span>
<span>-300 = (-3/4)s² </span>
<span>400 = s² </span>
<span>s = -20 and 20. </span>
again derivating
<span>v"(s) = -(3/2)s </span>
<span>v"(-20) = -(3/2)(-20) </span>
<span>v"(-20) = 30 </span>
<span>v"(20) = -(3/2)(20) </span>
<span>v"(20) = -30 </span>
<span>v(s) = 300s - (1/4)s^3 </span>
<span>v(s) = 300(20) - (1/4)(20)^3 </span>
<span>v(s) = 6000 - (1/4)(8000) </span>
<span>v = 6000 - 2000
v=4000</span>
