The slope is the coefficient of x, which is 10, and the y-intercept is the constant, which is 5.
As you progress in math, it will become increasingly important that you know how to express exponentiation properly.
y = 2x3 – x2 – 4x + 5 should be written <span>y = 2^x3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5. The
" ^ " symbol denotes exponentiation.
I see you're apparently in middle school. Is that so? If so, are you taking calculus already? If so, nice!
Case 1: You do not yet know calculus and have not differentiated or found critical values. Sketch the function </span>y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5, including the y-intercept at (0,5). Can you identify the intervals on which the graph appears to be increasing and those on which it appears to be decreasing?
Case 2: You do know differentiation, critical values and the first derivative test. Differentiate y = 2x^3 – x^2 – 4^x + 5 and set the derivative = to 0:
dy/dx = 6x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0. Reduce this by dividing all terms by 2:
dy/dx = 3x^2 - x - 2 = 0 I used synthetic div. to determine that one root is x = 2/3. Try it yourself. This leaves the coefficients of the other factor, (3x+3); this other factor is x = 3/(-3) = -1. Again, you should check this.
Now we have 2 roots: -1 and 2/3
Draw a number line. Locate the origin (0,0). Plot the points (-1, 0) and (2/3, 0). This subdivides the number line into 3 subintervals:
(-infinity, -1), (-1, 2/3) and (2/3, infinity).
Choose a test number from each interval and subst. it for x in the derivative formula above. If the derivative comes out +, the function is increasing on that interval; if -, the function is decreasing.
Ask all the questions you want, if this explanation is not sufficiently clear.
Answer:
The area of the roof: ≈2287.44 ft^2, the lateral area of the roof:≈1580.58 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the roof is computed by the equation of the area of a cone:
A = πr(r + 
)
(r: radius, h: height, πr^2 is the area of the base of the cone, πr is the lateral area of the cone). So:
A = 
≈ 2287.44 ft^2.
As I stated earlier, the lateral area of the roof can be computed:
A
=
≈ 1580.58 ft^2.

Answer:
a. 5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope, subtract the y's.
5 - -5 is 10.
Put that on the top of a fraction.
Subtract the x's.
3 - 1 is 2, put that on the bottom of the fraction.
So the slope is 10/2. This simplifies to 5 (because 10÷2 is 5).
The slope is 5.
