Answer:
At (-2,0) gradient is -4 ; At (2,0) gradient is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we simply need to take the derivative of the function and evaluate when y = 0 (when crossing the x-axis).
y = x^2 - 4
y' = 2x
The function y = x^2 - 4 cross the x-axis when:
y = x^2 - 4
0 = x^2 - 4
4 = x^2
2 +/- = x
Hence, this curve crosses the x-axis twice, once at (-2,0) and again at (2,0).
The gradient at these points are as follows:
y' = 2(-2) = -4
y' = 2(2) = 4

By using the midpoint formula and the equation of the line, the equation of the line of symmetry is x = - 2.
<h3>How to derive the equation of the axis of symmetry </h3>
In this question we know the locations of two points with the same y-value, which means that the axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis and that both points are equidistant. Thus, the axis of symmetry passes through the midpoint of the line segment whose ends are those points.
First, calculate the coordinates of the midpoint by the midpoint formula:
M(x, y) = 0.5 · (- 7, 11) + 0.5 · (3, 11)
M(x, y) = (- 2, 11)
Second, look for the first coordinate of the midpoint and derive the equation of the line associated with the axis of symmetry:
x = - 2
By using the midpoint formula and the equation of the line, the equation of the line of symmetry is x = - 2.

Step-by-step explanation:
when there is a - in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sign of each term in the expression
6+14+(-2)
then calculate the sum or difference
6+14-2= 18
Answer:
Option B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given data set is
34, 35, 41, 28, 26, 29, 32, 36, 38, 40
We need to find the mean deviation of the given data.
Number of observations, n = 10
Mean of the data is
Formula for mean deviation is
The mean deviation of the ratings is 4.12.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
Part A
<h3>Answer:
h^2 + 4h</h3>
-------------------
Explanation:
We multiply the length and height to get the area
area = (length)*(height)
area = (h+4)*(h)
area = h(h+4)
area = h^2 + 4h .... apply the distributive property
The units for the area are in square inches.

Part B
<h3>Answer:
h^2 + 16h + 60</h3>
-------------------
Explanation:
If we add a 3 inch frame along the border, then we're adding two copies of 3 inches along the bottom side. The h+4 along the bottom updates to h+4+3+3 = h+10 along the bottom.
Similarly, along the vertical side we'd have the h go to h+3+3 = h+6
The old rectangle that was h by h+4 is now h+6 by h+10
Multiply these expressions to find the area
area = length*width
area = (h+6)(h+10)
area = x(h+10) ..... replace h+6 with x
area = xh + 10x .... distribute
area = h( x ) + 10( x )
area = h( h+6 ) + 10( h+6 ) .... plug in x = h+6
area = h^2+6h + 10h+60 .... distribute again twice more
area = h^2 + 16h + 60
You can also use the box method or the FOIL rule as alternative routes to find the area.
The units for the area are in square inches.
