8 foot path

1st step = 8/2 = 4ft
2nd step = 4/2 = 2ft
3rd step = 2/2 = 1ft
4th step = 1/2 = 1/2ft

So he covered 7 1/2 ft (or 7.5ft)

Answer:

  4)  6x

  5)  2x +3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can work both these problems at once by finding an applicable rule.

  \text{For $f(x)=ax^n$}\\\\\lim\limits_{h\to 0}\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}=\lim\limits_{h\to 0}\dfrac{a(x+h)^n-ax^n}{h}\\\\=\lim\limits_{h\to 0}\dfrac{ax^n+anx^{n-1}h+O(h^2)-ax^n}{h}=\boxed{anx^{n-1}}

where O(h²) is the series of terms involving h² and higher powers. When divided by h, each term has h as a multiplier, so the series sums to zero when h approaches zero. Of course, if n < 2, there are no O(h²) terms in the expansion, so that can be ignored.

This can be referred to as the <em>power rule</em>.

Note that for the quadratic f(x) = ax^2 +bx +c, the limit of the sum is the sum of the limits, so this applies to the terms individually:

  lim[h→0](f(x+h)-f(x))/h = 2ax +b

4. The gradient of 3x^2 is 3(2)x^(2-1) = 6x.

5. The gradient of x^2 +3x +1 is 2x +3.

__

If you need to "show work" for these problems individually, use the appropriate values for 'a' and 'n' in the above derivation of the power rule.

How do I solve this and what kind of formula is it?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of an arc is always twice the degree of the corresponding angle inside the circle. For example, the measure of arc DC is just double the measure of angle DOC; angle DOC is 44 degrees, so arc DC must be 88 degrees.

Angle COB is 80 degrees, so arc CB is 160 degrees.

Let t(x) = 3x-8 and s(t(x)) = x^2 + 3x - 2. Find s(1).
ratelena [41]
<h3>Answer:  16</h3>

=============================================================

Explanation:

Equate s(t(x)) and s(1) to find that t(x) = 1 must be the case.

Let's find what x must be.

t(x) = 3x-8

1 = 3x-8

1+8 = 3x

9 = 3x

3x = 9

x = 9/3

x = 3

So plugging x = 3 into t(x) gets us t(x) = 1

In other words, t(3) = 1

So that tells us s(t(3)) = s(1)

-------------

Let's plug x = 3 into the s(t(x)) equation

s(t(x)) = x^2 + 3x - 2

s(t(3)) = (3)^2 + 3(3) - 2

s(1) = 9 + 3(3) - 2

s(1) = 9 + 9 - 2

s(1) = 18 - 2

s(1) = 16
