Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation being used to express the answer is called slope-intercept form.
y = m x + b
m is the slope, b is the y-intercept (where x = 0)
The formula to find slope (m) using two points is called point slope form.
m = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)
Pick two coordinates and plug them in.
m = (1 - 4)/(0 - 1)
m = (-3/-1)
m = 3
Answer:
25
simple, when you add another number into the sequence, it is increased by 1 per each number...
Ooh, fun
what I would do is to make it a piecewise function where the absolute value becomse 0
because if you graphed y=x^2+x-12, some part of the garph would be under the line
with y=|x^2+x-12|, that part under the line is flipped up
so we need to find that flipping point which is at y=0
solve x^2+x-12=0
(x-3)(x+4)=0
at x=-4 and x=3 are the flipping points
we have 2 functions, the regular and flipped one
the regular, we will call f(x), it is f(x)=x^2+x-12
the flipped one, we call g(x), it is g(x)=-(x^2+x-12) or -x^2-x+12
so we do the integeral of f(x) from x=5 to x=-4, plus the integral of g(x) from x=-4 to x=3, plus the integral of f(x) from x=3 to x=5

sepearte the integrals
![\int\limits^{-5}_{-4} {x^2+x-12} \, dx = [\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^2}{2}-12x]^{-5}_{-4}=(\frac{-125}{3}+\frac{25}{2}+60)-(\frac{64}{3}+8+48)=\frac{23}{6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cint%5Climits%5E%7B-5%7D_%7B-4%7D%20%7Bx%5E2%2Bx-12%7D%20%5C%2C%20dx%20%3D%20%5B%5Cfrac%7Bx%5E3%7D%7B3%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7Bx%5E2%7D%7B2%7D-12x%5D%5E%7B-5%7D_%7B-4%7D%3D%28%5Cfrac%7B-125%7D%7B3%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7B25%7D%7B2%7D%2B60%29-%28%5Cfrac%7B64%7D%7B3%7D%2B8%2B48%29%3D%5Cfrac%7B23%7D%7B6%7D)
next one
![\int\limits^{-4}_3 {-x^2-x+12} \, dx=-1[\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^2}{2}-12x]^{-4}_{3}=-1((-64/3)+8+48)-(9+(9/2)-36))=\frac{343}{6}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cint%5Climits%5E%7B-4%7D_3%20%7B-x%5E2-x%2B12%7D%20%5C%2C%20dx%3D-1%5B%5Cfrac%7Bx%5E3%7D%7B3%7D%2B%5Cfrac%7Bx%5E2%7D%7B2%7D-12x%5D%5E%7B-4%7D_%7B3%7D%3D-1%28%28-64%2F3%29%2B8%2B48%29-%289%2B%289%2F2%29-36%29%29%3D%5Cfrac%7B343%7D%7B6%7D)
the last one you can do yourself, it is

the sum is

so the area under the curve is
Yes, because to be in congruent with something means to have the same shape and size.
Hope this helps!
