The quotient of two numbers is negative. It must be true that B. one of the numbers is negative.
If neither number is negative, then their quotient will be positive, because both numbers are positive. If both numbers are negative, then their quotient will also be positive.
But since B is correct, their quotient will be negative.
For example: -9/3 = -3

EXPLAIN why we placed the value of x= 4/3( the minimum value) into the equ of gradient(dy/dx) [in the answer, marking scheme att

aliina [53]

$y=x(x-2)^2$
$\implies y'=(x-2)^2+2x(x-2)=3x^2-8x+4=(3x-2)(x-2)=0$
$\implies x=\dfrac23,x=2$

are the critical points, and judging by the picture alone, you must have $b=\dfrac23$ and $a=2$ . (You might want to verify with the derivative test in case that's expected.)

Then the shaded region has area

$\displaystyle\int_0^2x(x-2)^2\,\mathrm dx=\dfrac43$

I'll leave the details to you.

Now, for part (iv), you're asked to find the minimum of $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=y'$ , which entails first finding the second derivative:

$y'=3x^2-8x+4$
$\implies y''=6x-8$

setting equal to 0 and finding the critical point:

$6x-8=0\implies x=\dfrac86=\dfrac43$

This is to say the minimum value of $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$ *occurs when $x=\dfrac43$ *, but this is not necessarily the same as saying that $\dfrac43$ is the actual minimum value.

The minimum value of $\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$ is obtained by evaluating the derivative at this critical point:

$m=\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}\bigg|_{x=4/3}=3\left(\dfrac43\right)^2-8\left(\dfrac43\right)+4=-\dfrac43$

How do you find the slope of a line?

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

You use rise over run (rise/run) which is the x and y coordinates. You count how many to the going up or down then you count left to right. Hope this is useful of helpful! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a image thats an example.
