What is the graph of the function? F(x) = 1/2x^2

Mathematics

Sergio [31]4 years ago

F(x) = 1/2x^2 is a variation of the basic graph y = x^2 (the squaring function).

The graph of the squaring function has the shape of a parabola that opens up.  Its vertex is at (0,0).

The graph of F(x) = (1/2)x^2 has the same shape, but is compressed vertically by a factor of (1/2).   The vertex of F(x) = (1/2)x^2 is still (0,0).  That eliminates the first 2 possible answers.  Note that F(1) = (1/2)(1)^2 = 1/2.  The point (1, 1/2) is on the third graph, but not on the fourth.  Thus, the third graph is correct.

Show work. This is a BC calculus problem.
stepan [7]

Answer:

D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the limit definition of a derivative at a point is:

\displaystyle{\frac{d}{dx}[f(a)]= \lim_{x \to a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}}

Hence, if we let f(x) be ln(x+1) and a be 1, this will yield:

\displaystyle{\frac{d}{dx}[f(1)]= \lim_{x \to 1}\frac{\ln(x+1)-\ln(2)}{x-1}}

Hence, the limit is equivalent to the derivative of f(x) at x=1, or f’(1).

The answer will thus be D.

Write the equation of a line that has a slope of -7 and a y intercept of 9. ( Hint: Use the formula y = mx + b )
iogann1982 [59]
The y intercept is 9 and the unit rate is -7

So we plug these numbers in
y= -7x (the unit rate)+ 9 (y intercept)

y= -7x+9
