F(0) = 8^0 = 1
f '(x) = 8^x * ln8; x= 0 => f '(0) = ln8
f ''(x) = 8^x (ln8)^2 ; x = 0=> f ''(0) = (ln8)^2

g(0) = a(0)^2 + b(0) + c = f(0) = 1 => c = 1

g '(x) = 2ax + b => g '(0) = 2a(0) + b = f '(0) = ln8 => b = ln(8)

g''(x) = 2a => g''(0) = 2a = f''(0) = (ln8)^2 => a = (ln8)^2 / 2

=> g(x) = [(ln8)^2 /2] x^2 + [ln(8)]x + 1

What is the equation of a line parallel to y=1/2×+6 that passes through (-4,1)

IgorC [24]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/2 and passes through (-4 , 1)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m} ~=~ \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{1}=\stackrel{m}{ \cfrac{1}{2}}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-4)}) \\\\\\ y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}(x+4)\implies y-1=\cfrac{1}{2}x+2\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x+3$

Answer:

$m = 10\sqrt 3$

$n = 10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Find m and n

Considering the given angle, we have:

$\sin(60) = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

This gives:

$\sin(60) = \frac{m}{20}$

Make m ths subject

$m = 20 * \sin(60)$

$\sin(60) =\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

So, we have:

$m = 20 *\frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$

$m = 10\sqrt 3$

Considering the given angle again, we have:

$\cos(60) = \frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}$

This gives:

$\cos(60) = \frac{n}{20}$

Make n the subject

$n = 20 * \cos(60)$

$\sin(60) =\frac{1}{2}$

So, we have:

$n = 20 *\frac{1}{2}$

$n = 10$

Todea what did one pencil say to another mathematics algebra order of operations answer

Serjik [45]

Part 1

$6- \frac{18-3^2}{4+(2-3)} =6- \frac{18-9}{4+(-1)} \\ \\ =6- \frac{9}{4-1} =6- \frac{9}{3} =6-3 \\ \\ =3$
