there are many types of functions this includes linear function (straight line graph) eg y=3x+2 , quadratic function (u shaped curve) eg y=x², logarithmic function, exponential function and etc
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the height of the top of a mountain above sea level
y ----> the deep of a shipwreck below the sea level
we know that
The sea level represent the height equal to zero
In this problem we have
---> is positive because is above sea level
---> is negative because is below sea level
To find out the distance between the mountain top and the ship wreck, determine the absolute value of the difference between the two values

substitute the values




<u>Answer:</u>
A curve is given by y=(x-a)√(x-b) for x≥b. The gradient of the curve at A is 1.
<u>Solution:</u>
We need to show that the gradient of the curve at A is 1
Here given that ,
--- equation 1
Also, according to question at point A (b+1,0)
So curve at point A will, put the value of x and y

0=b+1-c --- equation 2
According to multiple rule of Differentiation,

so, we get



By putting value of point A and putting value of eq 2 we get


Hence proved that the gradient of the curve at A is 1.
