Looking through my old calc notes, I am reading that f(x) needs to be continuous on [a,b] and f ' (x) also needs to be continuous on [a,b]. Both conditions are needed. If you had to pick just one, then I'd say f(x) being continuous is much more important. Though I'm not 100% sure on this one. My thinking is that if there was any discontinuities on f(x), then the arc length would be distorted and overblown. The arc length should not account for any piece that isn't on the curve.

Find the coordinates if the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (-3,4) and (7,9).
svetoff [14.1K]
Using the midpoint formula 
\frac{ x_{1}+ x_{2}  }{2},  
 \frac{ y_{1}+  y_{2}  }{2}
\frac{-3+7}{2},
 \frac{4+9}{2}
\frac{4}{2},
 \frac{13}{2}
(2,6.5)
So, your answer would be (2,6.5).

6 plates and 5 cups cost 32.10 dollars. 7 plates and 6 cups cost 37.70 dollars. Each plate costs the same amount as the other pl
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Plates are 2.80 Dollars and cups are 1.40 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Cups = c

Plates = p

6p + 5c = 23.80 ==> multiply by 6 ==> 36p + 30c = 142.80

7p + 6c = 28.00 ==> multiply by 5 ==> 35p + 30c = 140.00

Now use algebra to have the 30c be on one side and the rest on the other:

36p + 30c = 142.80 | -36p

30c = 142.80 - 36p

35p + 30c = 140.00 | -35p

30c = 140.00 - 35p

Now set them equal to each other about the 30c:

142.80 - 36p = 140.00 - 35p

Use algebra to solve for p:

142.80 - 36p = 140.00 - 35p | +36p

142.80 = 140.00 + p | - 140

2.80 = p

Go back to one of the "30c" equations and plug in the value for p:

30c = 140 - 35p

30c = 140 - 35(2.80)

30c = 140 - 98

30c = 42 | /30

c = 42/30

c = 1.4

John’s teacher gave him the following system of equations and asked him to find the point of intersection. 3x + 2 = y 2x – 3= y
Galina-37 [17]

1) to this case you must match both equations

3x+2 = 2x-3 ⇒3x-2x = -3-2⇒x= -5

now the value of x  substitute it in the any of two equations, y = 3(-5)+2 = -13

and the other equation is the same value

y = 2(-5)-3 = -13

the point is ( -5,-13)
