Hello,

f(x)-f(a)= -3x²-5x+1-(-3a²-5a+1)=-3(x²-a²)-5(x-a)=-3(x-a)(x+a)-5(x-a)
=-(x-a)(3(x+a)+5)
=-(x-a)(3x+3a+5)

lim (f(x)-f(a))/(x-a)=- lim (3x+3a+5)=3a+3a+5=-6a-5
if a=1==>-6*1-5=-11

Otherwise
f'(x)=-6x-5
f'(1)=-6-5=-11

Answer:

Hello! answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a supplementary angle meaning it will have a total of 180 degrees 4 × 40 = 160 and when you add that with the other angle 20 you get 160 + 20 = 180 therefore x must by 40 HOPE THAT HELPS!

Use the graph to answer the question. Find the slope

Liula [17]

We can take the two points given and plug them into the slope formula.

$\sf~m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

(-3, 3), (1, -5)
x1 y1 x2 y2

$\sf~m=\dfrac{-5-3}{1-(-3)}$

Subtract:

$\sf~m=\dfrac{-8}{4}$

Divide:

$\sf~m=-2$

Use Ohm’s law to find the resistance of the light bulb if you had a 20 volt battery and 0.57 amps of current. Show your work for

aleksley [76]

For this case we have the following equation:
V = I * R
Where,
V: voltage
I: current
R: resistance
By clearing R we have:
R = V / I
Substituting the values:
R = (20) / (0.57)
R = 35.09 Ohms
Answer:
The resistance of the light bulb is:
R = 35.09 Ohms

Solve for k, m = 3kx/7 - 9

kap26 [50]

Answer:

(7m + 63)/3x = k

Step-by-step explanation:

m=3kx/7 - 9

add 9 to both sides:

m+ 9 = 3kx/7

multiply both sides by 7:

7(m+9) = 3kx

distribute the 7:

7m+63 = 3kx

divide both sides by 3x:

(7m + 63)/3x = k
