Answer:

The length of segment AB is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the Pythagorean theorem, you would find that the answer is 5.

One side of the triangle is a length of 4. The last side is a length of 3.

a^2+b^2=c^2

4^2+3^2=c^2

16+9=25

The square root of 25 is 5.

3. The curve C with equation y=f(x) is such that, dy/dx = 3x^2 + 4x +k

Andreas93 [3]

a. Given that y = f(x) and f(0) = -2, by the fundamental theorem of calculus we have

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 + 4x + k \implies y = f(0) + \int_0^x (3t^2+4t+k) \, dt$

Evaluate the integral to solve for y :

$\displaystyle y = -2 + \int_0^x (3t^2+4t+k) \, dt$

$\displaystyle y = -2 + (t^3+2t^2+kt)\bigg|_0^x$

$\displaystyle y = x^3+2x^2+kx - 2$

Use the other known value, f(2) = 18, to solve for k :

$18 = 2^3 + 2\times2^2+2k - 2 \implies \boxed{k = 2}$

Then the curve C has equation

$\boxed{y = x^3 + 2x^2 + 2x - 2}$

b. Any tangent to the curve C at a point (a, f(a)) has slope equal to the derivative of y at that point:

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}\bigg|_{x=a} = 3a^2 + 4a + 2$

The slope of the given tangent line $y=x-2$ is 1. Solve for a :

$3a^2 + 4a + 2 = 1 \implies 3a^2 + 4a + 1 = (3a+1)(a+1)=0 \implies a = -\dfrac13 \text{ or }a = -1$

so we know there exists a tangent to C with slope 1. When x = -1/3, we have y = f(-1/3) = -67/27; when x = -1, we have y = f(-1) = -3. This means the tangent line must meet C at either (-1/3, -67/27) or (-1, -3).

Decide which of these points is correct:

$x - 2 = x^3 + 2x^2 + 2x - 2 \implies x^3 + 2x^2 + x = x(x+1)^2=0 \implies x=0 \text{ or } x = -1$

So, the point of contact between the tangent line and C is (-1, -3).

Use the discriminant of the following quadratic equation to state the number and type of solutions. 3x^(2)+4x-5=3x+2

krek1111 [17]

3x^(2)+4x-3x-5-2=0
3x^(2)+x-7=0
Discriminat= b^(2)-4ac= 1^(2)-4(3)(-7)= 1-12(-7)=1+84=85
The discrimination is bigger than 0 (delta>0) therefore there are 2 real solutions

Damien , Jake , and Makayla shared a bowl of grapes . Damien ate x grapes . Jake ate 1 more than twice the number of grapes that

vivado [14]

Answer:

There were (4x + 2) grapes in the bowl

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the total number of grapes in the bowl.

We have 3 people sharing the total

Damien are x grapes

Jake ate 1 more than twice what Damien and that is (1 + 2x) grapes

Makayla ate 5 fewer grapes than Damien: So what Makayla ate is (x-5) grapes

And now, we have 6 grapes left.

To find the total number of grapes in the bowl, we need to add up all what they ate plus what is left.

Mathematically, that would be;

x + 1 + 2x + x -5 + 6

= 4x + 2
