Use the Distance Formula and the x-axis of the coordinate plane. Show why the distance between two points on a number line (the

x-axis) is | a – b |, where a and b are the x-coordinates of the points.

The points that lie on a number line, or the x-axis, have a y value of 0. Therefore, we can try applying the distance formula on points a and b given that:
a = (a,0)
b = (b,0)
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
d = √[(a - b)² + (0 - 0)²]
d = √(a - b)²
d = a - b
Thus, the distance formula still applies to two points on a number line, it is just in a simplified form.

AlexFokin [52]

34 + 6.7t ≥ 60.8 subtract 34 from both sides

6.7t ≥ 26.8 divide by 6.7

t ≥ 4

Find the inverse of the function y = x^2 + 12x
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

y=x\\

x=y^{2} + 12y\\

y^{2} + 12y -x = 0\\

Delta = (12^{2}) - 4.1.(-x) = 144 +4X = 36.(4+x)

\sqrt{Delta} = 6 . \sqrt{(4+x)} \\

y' = \frac{-12 + 6.(\sqrt{(4+x)}}{2} = -6 + 3.\sqrt{(4+x)}\\

y" = -6 - 3.\sqrt{(4+x)}\\\\

y' = 3.\sqrt{(4+x)} - 6\\

y''= -3.\sqrt{(4+x)} - 6\\

What is the average rate of change of F over the interval [0,7]?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that we start at (0, -4) and end at (7, -4).  Thus, the net change in y over the interval [0, 7] is 0, and the average rate of change of f(x) over that interval is thus

   0

--------- = 0
