Help me plss, number 2.​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Gnesinka [82]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that goes through the point (-2,-5) and (3,5)
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b

Let’s first find the slope, which is y2-y1/x2-x1

Let’s make the point (-2,-5) our x1 and y1 and let’s make the point (3,5) our x2 and y2.

5+5/3+2

10/5

2 = slope

So far, our equation is looking like this:

y=2x + b

To find the y-intercept (b), let’s plug in one of the points.

Let’s use the point (3,5)

(5)=2(3) + b

5=6 + b

What adds to 6 to equal 5? -1

So, our y-intercept is going to be -1

Finally, our equation is going to look like this:

y=2x-1

Hope I helped!

Solve and graph the absolute value inequality: |2x + 4| > 14.
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

"number line with open circles on negative 9 and 5, shading going in the opposite directions."

Step-by-step explanation:

Your inequality doesn't include an equal sign so there will be no closed holes. It will only be open holes.

|u|>14 means that the number u has to be greater than 14 or less than -14.  These numbers I describe just now all have a distance greater than 14 from 0.

So |u|>14 implies u>14 or u<-14.

But we are solving |2x+4|>14 so this implies we have 2x+4>14 or 2x+4<-14.

2x+4>14

Subtract 4 on both sides:

2x    >10

Divide both sides by 2:

x      >5

2x+4<-14

Subtract 4 on both sides:

2x    <-18

Divide both sides by 2:

x      <-9

So our solution is x>5 or x<-9.

Graphing!

~~~~~~~O                                         O~~~~~~~~

-----------(-9)---------------------------------(5)---------------

So we shaded to the right of 5 because our inequality says x is bigger than 5.

We shaded to the left of -9 because our inequality says x is less than -9.

The value of a dirt bike decreases by 15% each year. If you purchased this dirt bike today for $500, to the nearest dollar how m
ANTONII [103]

Right now the dirt bike is worth $500. Next year it will be worth 15% less, or 85% of the current value (because currently it's at 100%, so you would subtract the 15%). To find 85% of the dirt bike's value, you would take $500 and multiply by 85% (or 0.85). This would give you $425 after 1 year. You'd take $425 and multiply that by 85% for the next year, and continue until you reached 5 years of the value decreasing. Does this help?
