Mathematics

kkurt [141]3 years ago

We know \frac{dy}{dx} expression is used for represent the​ derivative.

Actually, derivative is the second name of " Rate of Change".

And if we read \frac{dy}{dx}, it represents the "Rate of change of y with respect to x".

In simple words, a derivative is the rate of change or slope of a very small portion of a function.

dy represents very small change in y-coordinate and dx  represents very small change in x-coordinate.

Because deriviate is the second name of " a very small rate of change".

We use \frac{dx}{xy} to represent the​ derivative.

Find the distance between the points -18 and -42. Show your work for full credit. (2 points.)
Masja [62]

Answer:

-24

Step-by-step explanation:

Easy way: 42 - 18 = 24, then translate it to negative 24 because your numbers are negative.

A little bit harder way: -42 + (-18) or -42 + 18 = -24

A machine wheel spins at a rate of 500 revolutions per minute. If the wheel has a diameter of 80 centimeters, what is the angula
solmaris [256]

Answer: 3,140 radians per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the wheel does 500 revolutions per minute.

This is called the frequency of the wheel, and this is written as:

f = 500 rev/min = 500 RPM

The angular speed (or Angular velocity) is written as

ω = 2*pi*f

And this quantity is in radians/unit of time.

where pi = 3.14

then:

ω = 2*3.14*500 (rev/min)*(rad/rev) = 3,140 rad/min

This means that the angular velocity  (or angular speed) is 3,140 radians per minute.

Reflection: Across the line y = -1 ​
eduard

The A’ is your reflected shape. The red line is y=-1, or your line  right reflection.  To solve, I counted the distance from the red line on the original triangle, and then the same on the opposite side of the red line, and counted the same distance, plotting the points at the final spot.
