1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]3 years ago

Answer:

At (-2,0) gradient is -4 ; At (2,0) gradient is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we simply need to take the derivative of the function and evaluate when y = 0 (when crossing the x-axis).

y = x^2 - 4

y' = 2x

The function y = x^2 - 4 cross the x-axis when:

y = x^2 - 4

0 = x^2 - 4

4 = x^2

2 +/- = x

Hence, this curve crosses the x-axis twice, once at (-2,0) and again at (2,0).

The gradient at these points are as follows:

y' = 2(-2) = -4

y' = 2(2) = 4

Cheers.

Explain how solving $2x<-8$ is different from solving $-2x<8$ .
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

When we divide by a negative value, the sign for the inequality changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x < -8, to solve we would divide by 2 and receive x < -4. However, in solving -2x < 8, we would divide by negative 2, which would result in x > -4. Clearly, these sequences provide opposite answers and that is a rule to inequalities, that when dividing by a negative number, we must flip the less than/greater than sign.

Which of the following could lead to a misleading graph?
natima [27]

Answer:

The intervals on the y-axis are inconsistent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x- and y-axes start at 0 - this is what graphs normally start with - it is out of the norm to not start at 0.

The intervals on the y-axis are inconsistent - this can cause a problem - we humans tend to judge a graph on height, so changing some of the intervals can mess up a human's actions based on the graph,for example people might think more positively or negatively of a brand or company, and even a totally different view.

The intervals on the y and x-axis are different - they can be different for particular reasons, for example a company might want to put time intervals in months on the x-axis and revenue in dollars on the y-axis - sometimes it is just necessary.

Differing heights are used on a bar graph - this allows us to compare data - without it we would not be able to do much with it.
