Set up the problem like this: x - 4 + 8 = 44
x-4+8=44 (8-4)
x+4=44
-4 -4 (subtract 4 from both sides)
x=40
Answer: the number is 40.
Answer:
I'm assuming you have 4 options, and if so, the answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rounding 36.6 off to 37 will make it easier to estimate the quotient when dividing by 5. For example, I can easily come up with a solution in my head when dividing 37 to 5 but it's harder for me to come up with a solution to 36.6.
Answer:
a) Not parallel to y-axis
b) Not parallel to y-axis
c) Parallel to y-axis
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to check whether a line passing through two points is parlle to y-axis is by plotting them on graph.
The equation of line: 
a) The line joining the points (4,12) and ( 6,12) is not parallel to y-axis.
It is parallel to x-axis. Another two points that can lie on this line are : (5,12) and (
,12).
b) The line joining the points
is not parallel to y-axis.
Equation of line: 
Another points that could be lie on this line are (0.6,2) and (0.25,1.475)
c) The line joining the points
is parallel to y-axis because points have the same x-coordinate.
Another points that could be lie on this line are (0.8,2) and (0.8,2.1)

To find the gradient of the tangent, we must first differentiate the function.

The gradient at x = 0 is given by evaluating f'(0).

The derivative of the function at this point is negative, which tells us <em>the function is decreasing at that point</em>.
The tangent to the line is a straight line, so we will have a linear equation of the form y = mx + c. We know the gradient, m, is equal to -1, so

Now we need to substitute a point on the tangent into this equation to find c. We know a point when x = 0 lies on here. To find the y-coordinate of this point we need to evaluate f(0).

So the point (0, -1) lies on the tangent. Substituting into the tangent equation:
