<span>The graph you plotted is the graph of f ' (x) and NOT f(x) itself. </span>

Draw a number line. On the number line plot x = 3 and x = 4. These values make f ' (x) equal to zero. Pick a value to the left of x = 3, say x = 0. Plug in x = 0 into the derivative function to get

f ' (x) = (x-4)(6-2x)
f ' (0) = (0-4)(6-2*0)
f ' (0) = -24

So the function is decreasing on the interval to the left of x = 3. Now plug in a value between 3 and 4, say x = 3.5

<span>f ' (x) = (x-4)(6-2x)
</span><span>f ' (3.5) = (3.5-4)(6-2*3.5)
</span>f ' (3.5) = 0.5

The function is increasing on the interval 3 < x < 4. The junction where it changes from decreasing to increasing is at x = 3. This is where the min happens.

So the final answer is C) 3

What is the solution to the equation? (-9x+5)^1/2=(3+4x)1/2
Phoenix [80]
<span>x in (-oo:+oo)

((5-9*x)^1)/2 = ((4*x+3)^1)/2 // - ((4*x+3)^1)/2

((5-9*x)^1)/2-(((4*x+3)^1)/2) = 0

(5-9*x)/2-((4*x+3)/2) = 0

(5-9*x)/2+(-1*(4*x+3))/2 = 0

5-1*(4*x+3)-9*x = 0

2-13*x = 0

(2-13*x)/2 = 0

(2-13*x)/2 = 0 // * 2

2-13*x = 0

2-13*x = 0 // - 2

-13*x = -2 // : -13

x = -2/(-13)

x = 2/13

x = 2/13</span>

Using the slope​ formula, find the slope of the line through the points (0,0) and (3,6).
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

y=2x

Step-by-step explanation:

From (0,0) to (3,6), it is 3 units to the left and 6 units left, divide that so you can have 1 unit to the left and 2 units up.  Therefore, the answer is y = 2x.

A line includes the points (0, 3) and (-1, -1). What is its equation in slope-intercept form?
SpyIntel [72]
Answer: 
y = 4x+3

----------------------------------------------

Explanation:

use the slope formula first
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-1-3)/(-1-0)
m = (-4)/(-1)
m = 4
The slope is m = 4

The y intercept is b = 3 because this comes from the point (0,3)
The x value is always 0 for the y intercept. This is where the graph crosses the y axis

Since m = 4 and b = 3, we go from y = mx+b to y = 4x+3

June starts out hiking due south and travels 4.50 km. When she comes to a canyon running east to west, she turns due east and tr
Yuki888 [10]

The Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the straight-line distance between the starting point and an ending point that is 4.5 km south and 12.0 km east of there.

d² = 4.5² + 12.0² = 20.25 + 144.0 = 164.25

d = √164.25 ≈ 12.816 . . . km
