For this case, we have by definition:

$1 \ yard = 3\ feet$

We then define the following variables:

y: number of yards
f: number of feet

We write the function that relates both variables:

$y = 3f$

Answer:

an expression for the number of yards in f feet is:

$y = 3f$

1 yd = 3 ft

y - the number of yards

$y=3\cdot f\to y=3f$

Which expression is equivalent to -5a + 12b - c + 5a - 7b + 12c after combining like terms?

just olya [345]

Answer:

5b + 12c

Step-by-step explanation:

-5a +5 a = 0

12b-7b = 5b

12c= 12c

therefore you have the expression 5b+12c

Find f(a), f(a+h), and 71. f(x) = 7x - 3 f(a+h)-f(a) h if h = 0. 72. f(x) = 5x²

Leni [432]

Answer:

$71. \ \ \ f(a) \ = \ 7a \ - \ 3; \ f(a+h) \ = \ 7a \ + \ 7h \ - \ 3; \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a+h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ = \ 7$

$72. \ \ \ f(a) \ = \ 5a^{2}; \ f(a+h) \ = \ {5a}^{2} \ + \ 10ah \ + \ {5h}^{2}; \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a+h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ = \ 10a \ + \ 5h$

Step-by-step explanation:

In single-variable calculus, the difference quotient is the expression

$\displaystyle\frac{f(x+h) \ - \ f(x)}{h}$ ,

which its name comes from the fact that it is the quotient of the difference of the evaluated values of the function by the difference of its corresponding input values (as shown in the figure below).

This expression looks similar to the method of evaluating the slope of a line. Indeed, the difference quotient provides the slope of a secant line (in blue) that passes through two coordinate points on a curve.

$m \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{rise}{run}$ .

Similarly, the difference quotient is a measure of the average rate of change of the function over an interval. When the limit of the difference quotient is taken as h approaches 0 gives the instantaneous rate of change (rate of change in an instant) or the derivative of the function.

Therefore,

$71. \ \ \ \ \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a \ + \ h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{(7a \ + \ 7h \ - \ 3) \ - \ (7a \ - \ 3)}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{7h}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ 7$

$72. \ \ \ \ \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a \ + \ h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{{5(a \ + \ h)}^{2} \ - \ {5(a)}^{2}}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{{5a}^{2} \ + \ 10ah \ + \ {5h}^{2} \ - \ {5a}^{2}}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{h(10a \ + \ 5h)}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ 10a \ + \ 5h$
