Answer:

Contrapositive. Switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement and negating both. For example, the contrapositive of "If it is raining then the grass is wet" is "If the grass is not wet then it is not raining."

The point P(1,1/2) lies on the curve y=x/(1+x). (a) If Q is the point (x,x/(1+x)), find the slope of the secant line PQ correct

lukranit [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the equation of the curve

$y=\dfrac{x}{1+x}$

Point $P\left(1,\dfrac{1}{2}\right)$ lies on the curve.

Point $Q\left(x,\dfrac{x}{1+x}\right)$ is an arbitrary point on the curve.

The slope of the secant line PQ is

$\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{\frac{x}{1+x}-\frac{1}{2}}{x-1}=\dfrac{\frac{2x-(1+x)}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\dfrac{\frac{2x-1-x}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\\ \\=\dfrac{\frac{x-1}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\dfrac{x-1}{2(x+1)}\cdot \dfrac{1}{x-1}=\dfrac{1}{2(x+1)}\ [\text{When}\ x\neq 1]$

1. If x=0.5, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.5+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3}\approx 0.3333$

2. If x=0.9, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.9+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.8}\approx 0.2632$

3. If x=0.99, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.99+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.98}\approx 0.2513$

4. If x=0.999, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.999+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.998}\approx 0.2501$

5. If x=1.5, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.5+1)}=\dfrac{1}{5}\approx 0.2$

6. If x=1.1, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.1+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.2}\approx 0.2381$

7. If x=1.01, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.01+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.02}\approx 0.2488$

8. If x=1.001, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.001+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.002}\approx 0.2499$

Given that the equation y=mx + b where m is 12 and the line passes through the point (-2,8), what would be the value of b?

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be D. We can continue the line from the point (-2,8) because we know the slope so we will continue it forward by two on the x axis. Since we go forward by two we are going up by 24 (12*2) on the y axis so the y intercept (b) would be 8 + 24 which is 32. Sorry if it is hard to understand.
