Answers: choice C) -4

----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------

Explanation:

There are two basic ways to find the slope.
-----------------------------------
The first way is where we use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
The two points are (x1,y1) = (-1,8) and (x2,y2) = (2,-4)
Plug the coordinate of those points into the slope formula, then simplify
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-4-8)/(2-(-1))
m = (-4-8)/(2+1)
m = (-12)/(3)
m = -4

The slope is -4

-----------------------------------
The second way is to use a more visually oriented approach.
Start at (-1,8).
Draw a straight vertical line through this point. Then move to the point (2,-4) and draw a completely flat horizontal line through this point.
Mark the intersection between these two lines (vertical and horizontal) as point A

Now go back to (-1,8). Count the number of spaces you must move down to go from (-1,8) to point A. You should count out 12 spaces. This is the run, which in this case is negative since we're going downhill as we move from left to right

Then count 3 spaces to go from point A to (2,-4). This is the run

Rise = -12
Run = 3
Slope = Rise/Run = -12/3 = -4

As you can probably see, this effectively mirrors some parts of the slope formula above

No matter which method you use, the slope is -4

-4 is the same as -4/1

A slope of -4/1 means we go down 4 units and then move to the right 1 unit

So that means rise/run = -12/3 is the same as saying rise/run = -4/1

Please help me with the below question.

VMariaS [17]

By letting

$y = \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty c_n x^{n+r}$

we get derivatives

$y' = \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+r) c_n x^{n+r-1}$

$y'' = \displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+r) (n+r-1) c_n x^{n+r-2}$

a) Substitute these into the differential equation. After a lot of simplification, the equation reduces to

$5r(r-1) c_0 x^{r-1} + \displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty \bigg( (n+r+1) c_n + (n + r + 1) (5n + 5r + 1) c_{n+1} \bigg) x^{n+r} = 0$

Examine the lowest degree term $\left(x^{r-1}\right)$ , which gives rise to the indicial equation,

$5r (r - 1) + r = 0 \implies 5r^2 - 4r = r (5r - 4) = 0$

with roots at r = 0 and r = 4/5.

b) The recurrence for the coefficients $c_k$ is

$(k+r+1) c_k + (k + r + 1) (5k + 5r + 1) c_{k+1} = 0 \implies c_{k+1} = -\dfrac{c_k}{5k+5r+1}$

so that with r = 4/5, the coefficients are governed by

$c_{k+1} = -\dfrac{c_k}{5k+5} \implies \boxed{g(k) = -\dfrac1{5k+5}}$

c) Starting with $c_0=1$ , we find

$c_1 = -\dfrac{c_0}5 = -\dfrac15$

$c_2 = -\dfrac{c_1}{10} = \dfrac1{50}$

so that the first three terms of the solution are

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^2 c_n x^{n + 4/5} = \boxed{x^{4/5} - \dfrac15 x^{9/5} + \frac1{50} x^{13/5}}$

Which of the following three-dimensional figures is formed when an equilateral triangle is rotated around the x-axis of the coor

VMariaS [17]

I think that the D. CONE is the three-dimensional figure that will be formed when an equilateral triangle is rotated around the x-axis of the coordinate plane.

A sphere is defined as the set of all points in space that are a fixed distance from a common point, the center.

A cylinder is with two parallel congruent circular faces whose cross sections (taken parallel to these circular faces) are circular.

A cube is a rectangular prism whose faces are squares.
