Answer:

y=\frac{5}{27} x-\frac{1}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=\frac{2x-1}{x+7}

To find slope of f(x) at x=2, find the derivative f'(x)

apply quotient rule to find derivative

f(x)=\frac{2x-1}{x+7}\\f'(x)=\frac{2(x+7)-1(2x-1)}{(x+7)^2} \\f'(x)=\frac{15}{(x+7)^2}

f'(x) is the slope . Now find slope at x=2. plug in 2 for x

f'(x)=\frac{15}{(x+7)^2}\\f'(2)=\frac{15}{(2+7)^2}=\frac{5}{27}

find out f(x) when x=2

f(x)=\frac{2x-1}{x+7}\\f(2)=\frac{2(2)-1}{2+7}=\frac{1}{3}

Now frame the equation of the line

(2,1/3) slope = 5/27

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{27} (x-2)\\y-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{27} x-\frac{10}{27}\\\\y=\frac{5}{27} x-\frac{1}{27}\\\\

Show that the transformation T defined by<br>T(x1, x2) = (2x1 - 3x2, X1+4, 5x2) is not linear.<br>​
erastovalidia [21]

Let <em>u</em> = (1, 0) and <em>v</em> = (0, 1). Then

<em>T</em> (<em>u</em>) = (2*1 - 3*0, 1 + 4, 5*0) = (2, 5, 0)

<em>T</em> (<em>v</em>) = (2*0 - 3*1, 0 + 4, 5*1) = (-3, 4, 5)

=>   <em>T</em> (<em>u</em>) + <em>T</em> (<em>v</em>) = (-1, 9, 5)

but

<em>T</em> (<em>u</em> + <em>v</em>) = <em>T</em> (1, 1) = (2*1 - 3*1, 1 + 4, 5*1) = (-1, 5, 5)

=>   <em>T</em> (<em>u</em> + <em>v</em>) ≠ <em>T</em> (<em>u</em>) + <em>T</em> (<em>v</em>)

which means <em>T</em> does not preserve addition, so it is not linear.

Solve the equation for y (y-3)^2=4y-12
Ket [755]
(y -3)^2 = 4y - 12

Expand.

(y-3)(y -3) = 4y - 12

y² - 6y + 9 = 4y - 12

y² - 6y -4y + 9 + 12 = 0

y² - 10y + 21 = 0

Factors are -7y and - 3y

y² - 10y + 21 = 0

y² - 3y - 7y + 21 = 0

y(y - 3) -7(y - 3) = 0

(y - 3)(y - 7) = 0

y-3 = 0   or    y - 7 = 0

y = 0 + 3  or  y = 0 + 7

y = 3 or 7

I do not understand this im lost
mote1985 [20]
In such type of questions, all that you are supposed to do is, use basic mathematics to eliminate any one of the given two variables. Check out the equations if in case you can multiply any of the given ones with a -1 and add the two equations,eliminating one of the variables.
