The given equation is of the form y = m x + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept that is value of y when x =0 , or we can say b is the initial value.

In the given equation which is y = 4t+2, on comparing we will get m =4 that is slope is 4 and here slope represents the rate or speed and 2 is the y intercept that is b. And 2 represents the initial position that is, the ant is 2 units from the home initially .

Answer: The initial distance of ant from its home

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: y= 4t+2 be a linear function representing the distance from home for an ant t minutes after starting out from a location near its home.

When we put t=0 , the we get

y=4(0)+2=2

It implies the initial distance of ant from its home = 2 units.

Hence, the number 2 represents  the initial distance of ant from its home in this function.

Triangle A is reflected in the x-axis to give B.
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation is rotation, reflection, translation and dilation.

If a point A(x, y) is reflected over the x axis, the new point is at A'(x, -y). If a point B(x, y) is reflected over the y axis, the new point is at A'(-x, y).

Triangle A has vertex at (-4, -2), (-4, -5) and (-2, -5). If triangle A is reflected in the x axis to give triangle B, the vertex of triangle B is (-4, 2), (-4, 5) and (-2, 5).

If triangle B is reflected in the y axis to give triangle C, the vertex of triangle C is at (4, 2), (4, 5) and (2, 5). Hence the transformation is:

(x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y)

Find the value of x for which the function below is maximum
timurjin [86]

Answer:

x = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function;

y = 5 + x - x²

To find the maximum value, follow these steps

(i) Find the first derivative (which is the slope) of the given function with respect to x. i.e;

y^{'} = \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d(5 + x - x^2)}{dx}

y^{'} = 1 - 2x

(ii) From the result in (i) determine the value of x for which the slope is zero. i.e.

x for which

1 - 2x = 0

=> 1 = 2x

=> x = \frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the value of x for which the function is maximum is \frac{1}{2}
