The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

substitute the coordinates of the points (8, 0) and (20, 12) to the formula:

$m=\dfrac{12-0}{20-8}=\dfrac{12}{12}=1$

y = 1x + b = x + b

Put the coordinates of the point (8, 0) to the equation of a line:

0 = 8 + b subtract 8 from both sides

-8 = b

<h3>Answer: y = x - 8</h3>

Find the derivative of the function. y = sin−1(6x + 1)

liraira [26]

If you don't know the derivative of the inverse of sine, you can use implicit differentiation. Apply sine to both sides:

$y=\sin^{-1}(6x+1)\implies\sin y=6x+1$

(true for y between -π/2 and π/2)

Now take the derivative of both sides and solve for it:

$\cos y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=6$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=6\sec y$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac6{\cos\left(\sin^{-1}(6x+1)\right)}$

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac6{\sqrt{1-(6x+1)^2}}$

Please help! Thank you so much!

Angle W:

180 = 90 + 57 + W

180 = 147 + W

W = 33 degrees

Using trigonometry functions to find the side lengths. (SOH CAH TOA)

Side XZ:

cos(57) = XZ / 18

XZ = cos(57) x 18

XZ = 9.8 units

Side XW:

sin(57) = XW / 18

XW = sin(57) x 18

XW = 15.1 units

Hope this helps!! :)

Write x2 - 8x + 13 = 0 in the form (x - a)2 = b, where a and b are integers. a.)(x - 4)2 = 3 b.) (x - 3)2 = 2 c.)(x - 2)2 = 1 d.

loris [4]

The answer is a.)(x - 4)2 = 3.

(x - a)² = b can be expressed as:
x² - 2ax + a² = b ⇒ x² - 2ax + a² - b = 0

Our equation is x² - 8x + 13 = 0.
The general formula is x² - 2ax + (a² - b) = 0

Thus:
8x = 2ax and a² - b = 13

Divide both sides of the first equation (8x = 2ax) by x:
8 = 2a ⇒ a = 8 ÷ 2 = 4

Replace a in the second equation (a² - b = 13):
4² - b = 13 ⇒ b = 4² - 13 = 16 - 13 = 3

Now when we have a and b, let's just replace them in the general equation:
(x - a)² = b
(x - 4)² = 3
