Answer: 3</h3>
Explanation:
Refer to the graph below. It should be similar to what your teacher gave you, based off the description.
Since we're approaching 3 from the right side, this means we'll be working with the horizontal line portion. We could start at something like x = 3.2 and move closer to 3 by getting to x = 3.1 then x = 3.01 then x = 3.001 and so on. We never actually get to 3 itself.
As x gets closer to 3 from this direction, the y values are approaching 3 since every point on this horizontal line has the same y coordinate. Technically the y value is already at 3, but it's the same idea.
In terms of notation, we can write 
The portion
means we're approaching 3 from the positive side, aka the right hand side on the number line.
We are given the following:
- parabola passes to both (1,0) and (0,1)
<span> - slope at x = 1 is 4 from the equation of the tangent line </span>
<span>First, we figure out the value of c or the y intercept, we use the second point (0, 1) and substitute to the equation of the parabola. W</span><span>hen x = 0, y = 1. So, c should be equal to 1. The</span><span> parabola is y = ax^2 + bx + 1 </span>
<span>Now, we can substitute the point (1,0) into the equation,
</span>0 = a(1)^2 + b(1) + 1
<span>0 = a + b + 1
a + b = -1 </span>
<span>The slope at x = 1 is equal to 4 which is equal to the first derivative of the equation.</span>
<span>We take the derivative of the equation ,
y = ax^2 + bx + 1</span>
<span>y' = 2ax + b
</span>
<span>x = 1, y' = 2
</span>4 = 2a(1) + b
<span>4 = 2a + b </span>
So, we have two equations and two unknowns,<span> </span>
<span>2a + b = 4 </span>
<span>a + b = -1
</span><span>
Solving simultaneously,
a = 5 </span>
<span>b = -6</span>
<span>Therefore, the eqution of the parabola is y = 5x^2 - 6x + 1 .</span>
You did the top right but the denominator is 0 so the slope in undefined or 0.
Hope this helps!
One person throws away 4.5 x 10² g/day.
In 2013, there were 3.2 x 10⁶ people, so they threw away
(4.5 x 10² g/day)*(3.2 x 10⁶) = 1.44 x 10⁹ g/day.
Assume that there were 365 days in 2013.
The total trash thrown away was
(1.44 x 10⁹ g/day)*(365 days) = 5.26 x 10¹¹ g
Answer: 5.3 x 10¹¹ g
