The given curve is --- y = x^5 + x^3 - 2x 

<span>First derivative to this curve is y' = 5 x^4 + 3 x^2 - 2 </span>

<span>=> Slope (m) = 5 x^4 + 3 x^2 - 2 </span>

<span>For the minimum value of m we calculate dm/dx and put it = 0 </span>

<span>=> d( 5 x^4 + 3 x^2 - 2 ) / dx = 0 </span>

<span>=> 20 x^2 + 6 x = 0 </span>

<span>=> x ( 20 x + 6 ) = 0 </span>

<span>Turning values of x are 0 and - 6 / 20 = ( - 3 / 10 ) </span>

<span>At x = 0 , m = - 2 </span>

<span>and at x = - 3/10 </span>

<span>m = 5 x^4 + 3 x^2 - 2 </span>

<span>=> m = 5 ( - 3 / 10 )^4 + 3 ( - 3 / 10 )^2 - 2 = - 1.68 </span>

<span>Hence at turning points, the slope is minimum at x = 0 and is equal to = - 2 </span>

<span>MINIMUM VALUE OF THE SLOPE = - 2</span>

Dy/dx=25, 35, 45, 55

d2y/dx2=10,10,10  (this constant just proves that it is a quadratic relation)

Now we can set up a system of equations for ax^2+bx+c

16a+4b+c=80, 9a+3b+c=45, 4a+2b+c=20  getting differences

7a+b=35, 5a+b=25  and again

2a=10, a=5, making 7a+b=35 become:

7(5)+b-35, b=0, making 4a+2b+c=20 become:

4(5)+2(0)+c=20, c=0 so

y=5x^2

So the constant of variation for this quadratic is 5.

The formula to calculate the area of a circle from its circumference is:<br><br><br> A =c2/4π
densk [106]

Answer:

(if its a true or false question) True

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>We know-</u>

<u>Area of a circle = </u>

A=(π)r2

<u>Circumference of a circle = </u>

C=2(π)r

<u>Where pi is a constant and r is the radius of the circle.</u>

<u>Using these two formulas we can express A in terms of C as follows:</u>

<u />

c2=[2(π)r]2

⇒ c2=4[(π)2]r2 ⇒ c2=4(π)[(π)r2]

As (π)r2=A ⇒c2=4(π)A

<u>Therefore:</u>

A=c2/4(π)
