Answer:

y = -1/2 x - 13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

what is an equation of the line that is perpendicular to y-4=2(x-6) and passes through (-3,-5)

First, we need the slope of the given line.

y - 4 = 2(x - 6)

y - 4 = 2x - 12

y = 2x - 8

The slope of the given line is 2.

The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, so the slope of the perpendicular is -1/2.

y = -1/2 x + b

We use the given point as x and y and solve for b.

-5 = -1/2(-3) + b

-10 = 3 + 2b

2b = -13

b = -13/2

The equation of the perpendicular line is:

y = -1/2 x - 13/2

Solve the inequality below. Use the drop-down menus to describe the solution and its greah

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is x ≤ -4. A graph of the solution should have a vertical line passing through x = -4 and be shaded to the left of x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x + 13 ≥ 41

Subtract 13 from both sides

-7x ≥ 28

Dividing both sides by the -7 changes the inequality sign and we have

x ≤ -4

Hence, the solution of the inequality is x ≤ -4 and the graph of the solution should have a vertical line passing through x = -4 and it should be shaded to the left of x = -4 indicating that only numbers less than or equal to -4 are possible solutions of the inequality.

Hope this Helps!!!

In a test (+5) marks are given for every correct answer and (-2) marks are given for every incorrect answer. Smitha answered all

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

15 answers

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question we need to set up an equation.

Let's name the number of incorrect answers x.

<u>We can set up an equation that's essentially:</u>

(Points for correct answer)*(number of correct answers)+(points for incorrect answer)*(number of incorrect answers)=final score

When we plug in our numbers and variables it looks like this:

5(3)+(-2x)=-15

Simplify

15-2x=-15

Subtract 15 from both sides

-2x=-30

Divide both sides by -2

x=15

This means Smitha attempted 15 wrong answers, and that there were 18 questions in total.

Suppose that we don't have a formula for g(x) but we know that g(3) = −5 and g'(x) = x2 + 7 for all x.

Leni [432]

Answer:

$g(2.9) \approx -6.6$

$g(3.1) \approx -3.4$

The values are too small since $g''$ is positive for both values of $x$ in. I'm speaking of the $x$ values, 2.9 and 3.1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope of a line is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on that line.

We want to find the equation of the tangent line of the curve $g$ at the point $(3,-5)$ on $g$ .

So we know $(x_1,y_1)=(3,-5)$ .

To find $m$ , we must calculate the derivative of $g$ at $x=3$ :

$m=g'(3)=(3)^2+7=9+7=16$ .

So the equation of the tangent line to curve $g$ at $(3,-5)$ is:

$y-(-5)=16(x-3)$ .

I'm going to solve this for $y$ .

$y-(-5)=16(x-3)$

$y+5=16(x-3)$

Subtract 5 on both sides:

$y=16(x-3)-5$

What this means is for values $x$ near $x=3$ is that:

$g(x) \approx 16(x-3)-5$ .

Let's evaluate this approximation function for $g(2.9)$ .

$g(2.9) \approx 16(2.9-3)-5$

$g(2.9) \approx 16(-.1)-5$

$g(2.9) \approx -1.6-5$

$g(2.9) \approx -6.6$

Let's evaluate this approximation function for $g(3.1)$ .

$g(3.1) \approx 16(3.1-3)-5$

$g(3.1) \approx 16(.1)-5$

$g(3.1) \approx 1.6-5$

$g(3.1) \approx -3.4$

b) To determine if these are over approximations or under approximations I will require the second derivative.

If $g''$ is positive, then it leads to underestimation (since the curve is concave up at that number).

If $g''$ is negative, then it leads to overestimation (since the curve is concave down at that number).

$g'(x)=x^2+7$

$g''(x)=2x+0$

$g''(x)=2x$

$2x$ is positive for $x>0$ .

$2x$ is negative for $x$ .

That is, $g''(2.9)>0 \text{ and } g''(3.1)>0$ .

So $2x$ is positive for both values of $x$ which means that the values we found in part (a) are underestimations.
