Finding the slope using two points, (5, -1) and (-8, -4)

The formula for slope is

$\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

In this case...

$y_{2} =-4\\y_{1} =-1\\x_{2} =-8\\x_{1} =-5$

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

$\frac{-4-(-1)}{-8-5}$

$\frac{-3}{-13}$

$\frac{3}{13}$

^^^This is your slope

Hope this helped!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find a slope using two points is:

$m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\m = ((-4)-(-1))/((-8)-(5))\\m = -3 / -13\\m = 3/13$

Given the formula,v= 4.5 + at,find the value of v when a=1.6 and t=3.5.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

v=10.1

Step-by-step explanation:

v= 4.5 + at -------> equation 1

given

a=1.6

t=3.5

so we will plug in the value in equation 1

v = 4.5 + (1.6 x 3.5)

v = 4.5 + 5.6

v = 10.1

Consider the function f given by f(x)=x*(e^(-x^2)) for all real numbers x.

NISA [10]

Answer:

$\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You are going to integrate the following function:

$g(x)=x*f(x)=x*xe^{-x^2}=x^2e^{-x^2}$ (1)

furthermore, you know that:

$\int_0^{\infty}e^{-x^2}=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2}$

lets call to this integral, the integral Io.

for a general form of I you have In:

$I_n=\int_0^{\infty}x^ne^{-ax^2}dx$

furthermore you use the fact that:

$I_n=-\frac{\partial I_{n-2}}{\partial a}$

by using this last expression in an iterative way you obtain the following:

$\int_0^{\infty}x^{2s}e^{-ax^2}dx=\frac{(2s-1)!!}{2^{s+1}a^s}\sqrt{\frac{\pi}{a}}$ (2)

with n=2s a even number

for s=1 you have n=2, that is, the function g(x). By using the equation (2) (with a = 1) you finally obtain:

$\int_0^{\infty}x^2e^{-x^2}dx=\frac{(2(1)-1)!}{2^{1+1}(1^1)}\sqrt{\pi}=\frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{4}$
