^^ correct! It would be 8! Your answer is C.

All this is asking you to do is plug in -2 for x

f(x)=3x²-4

f(-2)=3(-2²)-4

f(-2)=12-4

f(-2)=8

Answer:

Slope = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use any two pairs from the table of values, say (0, 3) and (2, 11).

Slope = ∆y/∆x

Slope = $\frac{11 - 3}{2 - 0}$

Slope = $\frac{8}{2}$

Slope = 4

_______________

Evaluate the indefinite integral:

$\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! \frac{cos\,x}{sin^2\,x}\,dx}\\\\\\
=\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! \frac{1}{(sin\,x)^2}\cdot cos\,x\,dx\qquad\quad(i)}$

Make the following substitution:

$\mathsf{sin\,x=u\quad\Rightarrow\quad cos\,x\,dx=du}$

and then, the integral (i) becomes

$=\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! \frac{1}{u^2}\,du}\\\\\\
=\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! u^{-2}\,du}$

Integrate it by applying the power rule:

$\mathsf{=\dfrac{u^{-2+1}}{-2+1}+C}\\\\\\
\mathsf{=\dfrac{u^{-1}}{-1}+C}\\\\\\
\mathsf{=-\,\dfrac{1}{u}+C}$

Now, substitute back for u = sin x, so the result is given in terms of x:

$\mathsf{=-\,\dfrac{1}{sin\,x}+C}\\\\\\
\mathsf{=-\,csc\,x+C}$

$\therefore~~\boxed{\begin{array}{c}\mathsf{\displaystyle\int\! \frac{cos\,x}{sin^2\,x}\,dx=-\,csc\,x+C} \end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

I hope this helps. =)

Enter the values for the highlighted variables that show how to subtract the rational expressions correctly:

LenKa [72]

Answer:

a = 6

x^2 + 6x is equal to x(x+6)

b=2

Denominator and numerator of the first term are multiplied by x.

c=6

Second term is multiplied by (x-6)/(x-6)

d=2

Now that they have the same denominator, the two terms are combined. 2 is the coefficient of the first term

e=6

In the same way as d is carried over from b, e is carried over from c.

f = 6

2x - x + 6 = x + 6

g = 1

We factor out the (x+6) from the numerator and denominator
