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}

Create three fractions whose product is -5/24. You may only use fractions between -8/9 to 8/9 and you can only use a fraction on
damaskus [11]

Answer:

We find 3/4-5/24 = 0.54166666666 and try 2/7 x 6/8 = 0.21428571428

this is 0.069 too much we look at this as a fraction = 0.07 which is 1/10 approx of the 6/8. we then reapply 7/9 x 2/7 x 3/3 = 0.2

So we went up by 1 and can show another

2/7 x 7/10 = 2.0

So to 1dp there is lots of fractions including 2/7 x 7/9 = 2.0

But for three fractions that multiply together we can chose 5/7 x 2/6 x 6/6 = 2.0  As 5 x 2 x 6 = 60 and 60/360-102 = 60/258 = 0.20 and divided 198 =numbers 8 and 1/3 work with = 1.98/8.3 = 2.38554

We try again 1.68/8.3 = -0.2024 = 2/8 x 8/10 = 0.2

The balance is 1.3/2 x 0.8/2 = 0.65 x 0.333 = 13/20 x 1/3

3/5 x 1/3 = 0.2

1 QUESTION. PLEASE HELP. VOLUME GEOMETRY QUESTION.
mina [271]
Knowing the volume of a 3-D shape is extremely when deciding what materials to use and how much of them to use.  When you know the volume of the different designs is helpful when deciding which material costs less to use but still meets requirements. For example, if you were trying to decide what material to fill your product with, and say the volume of your product is 36^3. You narrow things down to two products, one costing $54 to fill the entire thing. The other costing $60. Because you have the volume, it will be easy to decide which is better based off of the price per square inch. If you didn't have the volume. You would have to make an estimate and potentially make a bad business decision.   

Hope this helps! I apologize for my long response
