Answer:

y = 5x -12

Step-by-step explanation:

point-slope form:

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

m= slope

m= (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have (4, 8) and (2,-2)

x1 = 4 y1= 8

x2= 2 y2= -2

m=( -2-8) / (2- 4)

m= -10/ -2

m= 5

so we have:

y - 8 = 5(x-4)

y - 8= 5x -20

y= 5x -20 +8

y = 5x -12

Consider the following function. f(x) = |x − 9| Find the derivative from the left at x = 9. If it does not exist, enter NONE. -1

nydimaria [60]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

$f(x)=\mid x-9\mid$

$f(x)=-(x-9)$ when x<9

$f(x)=x-9$ when $x\geq 9$

LHD

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 9-}f'(x)$

= $-\lim_{x\rightarrow 9-}(x-9)=-1$

RHD

$\lim_{x\rightarrow 9+}f'(x)$

$=\lim_{x\rightarrow 9+}(x-9)=1$

$LHD\neq RHD$

Hence, the function is not differentiable at x=9

Answer:

it can't form isosceles triangle cause any two sides of the triangle are not equal ,it can't form equalateral triangle cause 3 sides of the triangle are not equal and neither right angle triangle so triangle can't be formed

How does this work?????

ankoles [38]

Answer:

x = 4 $\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right, solve for x using Pythagoras' identity, that is

x² = 8² + 4² = 64 + 16 = 80

Take the square root of both sides

x = $\sqrt{80}$ = $\sqrt{16(5)}$ = $\sqrt{16}$ × $\sqrt{5}$ = 4 $\sqrt{5}$ ← exact value

Answer:

A. Men had less distress from nausea on average than women but we can not determine if this is a significant difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Working based on the information given, the mean values of each group with with men having an average score of 1.02 and women have an average of 1.79 this reveals that distressing nausea on average is higher in women than in men . However, to test if there is a significant difference would be challenging as the information given isn't enough to make proceed with the test as the standard deviations of the two groups aren't given and no accompanying sample data is given.
