note that gradient = \frac{dy}{dx} at x = a

calculate \frac{dy}{dx} for each pair of functions and compare gradient

(a)

\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x and \frac{dy}{dx} = - 1

at x = 4 : gradient = 8 and - 1 : 8 > - 1

(b)

\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x + 3 and \frac{dy}{dx} = - 2

at x = 2 : gradient = 7 and - 2 and 7 > - 2

(c)

\frac{dy}{dx} = 4x + 13 and \frac{dy}{dx} = 2

at x = - 7 : gradient = - 15 and 2 and 2 > - 15

(d)

\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x - 5 and \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x - 2

at x = - 1 : gradient = - 11 and - 4 and - 4 > - 11

(e)

y = √x = x^{\frac{1}{2} }

\frac{dy}{dx} = 1/(2√x) and \frac{dy}{dx} = 2

at x = 9 : gradient = \frac{1}{6} and 2 and 2 > \frac{1}{6}

Find the value of x please help me​
scoray [572]

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Sun of the exterior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°

Therefore:

x + 40 + 6x + 2x + 20 + 3x = 360

Add like terms

x + 6x + 2x + 3x + 40 + 20 = 360

12x + 60 = 360

12x = 360 - 60

12x = 300

x = 300/12

x = 25

Find the measure of the largest angle.
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

4x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

180 = 44 + 3x - 11 + 4x - 7

Combine like terms: 180 = 26 + 7x

Simplify: 154 = 7x

Simplify: 22 = x

Substitute: 3(22) - 11 = 55 and 4(22) - 7 = 81

Create inequality: 44 < 55 < 81

Which function has the same y-intercept as the function y equals 2/3 x - 3​
aleksley [76]

We have the function y = \frac{2}{3} x -3 and we want to find a function that has the same y-intercept than the previous function.

First, let's find the y-intercept by subtituting 0 for 'x'.

y = \frac{2}{3} (0) -3 = -3

Now that we found that y-intercept =-3, any lineal function of the type: y = ax - 3 will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' can take all the real values.

Also, any quadratic function of the type: y=ax^{2} + bx - 3 will have the same y-intercept. Where 'a' and 'b' can take all the real values.
