Rate Of Change Of Functions

Given a function y=f(x), the rate of change of f can be computed as the slope of the tangent line in a specific point (by using derivatives), or an approximation by computing the slope of a secant line between two points (a,b) (c,d) that belong to the function. The slope can be calculated with the formula

$\displaystyle m=\frac{d-b}{c-a}$

If this value is calculated with any pair of points and it always results in the same, then the function is linear. If they are different, the function is non-linear.

Let's take the first two points from the table (1,1)(2,4)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{4-1}{2-1}=3$

Now, we use the second and the third point (2,4) (3,9)

$\displaystyle m=\frac{9-4}{3-2}=5$

This difference in values of the slope is enough to state the function is non-linear

what is the volume of the prism given that each cube is defined by the fractional edge length of 1/3 inch

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

The equation for volume is length times width times height. So to solve this multiple 1/3x1/3x1/3 because 1/3 is the length, width , and height of the cube(cubes have equal sides). The answer should be 1/27

Given: ∆ABC, m∠C = 90° CB = 8, m∠B = 38º Find the area of a circumscribed circle. Find the area of the inscribed circle.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

Circumscribed circle: Around 80.95

Inscribed circle: Around 3.298

Step-by-step explanation:

Since C is a right angle, when the circle is circumscribed it will be an inscribed angle with a corresponding arc length of 2*90=180 degrees. This means that AB is the diameter of the circle. Since the cosine of an angle in a right triangle is equivalent to the length of the adjacent side divided by the length of the hypotenuse:

$\cos 38= \dfrac{8}{AB} \\\\\\AB=\dfrac{8}{\cos 38}\approx 10.152$

To find the area of the circumscribed circle:

$r=\dfrac{AB}{2}\approx 5.076 \\\\\\A=\pi r^2\approx 80.95$

To find the area of the inscribed circle, you need the length of AC, which you can find with the Pythagorean Theorem:

$AC=\sqrt{10.152^2-8^2}\approx 6.25$

The area of the triangle is:

$A=\dfrac{bh}{2}=\dfrac{8\cdot 6.25}{2}=25$

The semiperimeter of the triangle is:

$\dfrac{10.152+6.25+8}{2}\approx 24.4$

The radius of the circle is therefore $\dfrac{25}{24.4}\approx 1.025$

The area of the inscribed circle then is $\pi\cdot (1.025)^2\approx 3.298$ .

Hope this helps!

The owner of a bakery wants to know whether customers have any preference among 5 different flavors of muffin. A sample of 200 c

Troyanec [42]

So,, there are 5 different flavors. A total of 180 people were asked. Hence, the hypothesis that there is no significant difference is that every flavor gets 180/5=36 flavors. x^2= $\sum{\frac{(x_i)^2}{m_i}}-n$ . In this case, mi is the proportion of the hypothesis, thus 36, n=180 and xi is the number of actual observations. Substituting the known quantities, we get that x^2=9. The degree of association is given by $\sqrt{X^2}/ \sqrt{N(n-1)}$ . This yields around 0.10, much higher than our limit.
