Use the following graph to estimate the rate of change of the function at x=0.6 using the points (0,0) and (1,−0.5)

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The rate of change of the function at x = 0.6 is approximately -0.72

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information from the graph are;

Points (0, 0) and (1, -0.5)

We have that the graph is that of a cubic function, therefore;

f(x) = ax³ + bx² + cx + d

At f'(x) at (0, 0) and (1, -0.5) = 0 gives;

3ax² + 2bx + c = 0

∴ c = 0

Also

ax³ + bx² + cx + d = 0

d = 0

We have

3a(1)² + 2b(1) + 0 = 0

3·a + 2·b = 0..............(1)

a(1)³ + b(1)² + c(1) + d = -0.5

a + b + 0×(1) + 0 = -0.5

a + b = -0.5..........(2)

Multiplying equation (2) by 2 and subtracting it from equation (1) gives;

2 × (a + b = -0.5) = 2·a + 2·b = -1

3·a + 2·b - (2·a + 2·b) = 0 - (-1) = 0 + 1 = 1

a = 1

From

a + b = -0.5, we have;

1 + b = -0.5 = 0

b = -0.5 - 1 = -1.5

The equation becomes

f(x) = x³ - 1.5·x²

The rate of change of the function at x = 0.6 is therefore given as follows;

f'(x) = 3 × x² - 2 × (1.5)·x = 3·x² - 3·x

At x = 0.6, we have;

f'(0.6) = 3·(0.6)² - 3·(0.6)

f'(0.6) = 3×0.6² - 3×0.6 = -0.72

The rate of change of the function at x = 0.6 ≈ -0.72

(25 points!!!!!) solve for <2

stiv31 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

135 = <2 + 86 [exterior angle of triangle is equal to the sum of its oppsite two interior angles]

or, <2 = 135 - 86

so, <2 = 49°

A cylinder has radius r and height h. A. How many times greater is the surface area of a cylinder when both dimensions are multi

Ierofanga [76]

Answer: A. Factor 2 => 4x greater

Factor 3 => 9x greater

Factor 5 => 25x greater

Step-by-step explanation: A. A cylinder is formed by 2 circles and a rectangle in the middle. That's why surface area is given by circumference of a circle, which is the length of the rectangle times height of the rectangle, i.e.:

A = 2.π.r.h

A cylinder of radius r and height h has area:

$A_{1}$ = 2πrh

If multiply both dimensions <u>by a factor of 2</u>:

$A_{2}$ = 2.π.2r.2h

$A_{2}$ = 8πrh

Comparing $A_{1}$ to $A_{2}$ :

$\frac{A_{2}}{A_{1}}$ = $\frac{8.\pi.rh}{2.\pi.rh}$ = 4

Doubling radius and height creates a surface area of a cylinder 4 times greater.

<u>By factor 3:</u>

$A_{3} = 2.\pi.3r.3h$

$A_{3} = 18.\pi.r.h$

Comparing areas:

$\frac{A_{3}}{A_{1}}$ = $\frac{18.\pi.r.h}{2.\pi.r.h}$ = 9

Multiplying by 3, gives an area 9 times bigger.

<u>By factor 5</u>:

$A_{5} = 2.\pi.5r.5h$

$A_{5} = 50.\pi.r.h$

Comparing:

$\frac{A_{5}}{A_{1}}$ = $\frac{50.\pi.r.h}{2.\pi.r.h}$ = 25

The new area is 25 times greater.

B. By analysing how many times greater and the factor that the dimensions are multiplied, you can notice the increase in area is factor². For example, when multiplied by a factor of 2, the new area is 4 times greater.
