Answer:

The correct answer is second option

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

The slope of line passing through (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

<u>To find the slope of given line</u>

Here, (x₁, y₁) = (-2, -1) and (x₂, y₂) = (8, -3)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = ( -3 - - 1)/(8 - -2)

 = (-3 + 1)/(8 + 2) = -2/10

 = -1/5

Therefore the correct answer is second option -1/5

Answer:

- 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two points can be calculated as:

\text{slope}=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{\text{Difference of y coordinates}}{\text{Difference of x coordinates}}

The given points are (-2, -1) and (8, -3). Using the values in above formula, we get:

\text{slope}=\frac{-3-(-1)}{8-(-2)}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-3+1}{8+2}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-2}{10}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-1}{5}

Thus the slope of the line through the given points is -1/5. So 2nd option gives the correct answer

Answer:

g(x) = –3(x + 6)2 + 48.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of f(x) = x2 is shifted right 6 units. The graph of f(x) = x2 is shifted down 48 units. The graph of f(x) = x2 is reflected over the y-axis.

Does there exist a di↵erentiable function g : [0, 1] R such that g'(x) = f(x) for all x 2 [0, 1]? Justify your answer
agasfer [191]

Answer:

No; Because g'(0) ≠ g'(1), i.e. 0≠2, then this function is not differentiable for g:[0,1]→R

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming:  the function is f(x)=x^{2} in [0,1]

And rewriting it for the sake of clarity:

Does there exist a differentiable function g : [0, 1] →R such that g'(x) = f(x) for all g(x)=x² ∈ [0, 1]? Justify your answer

1) A function is considered to be differentiable if, and only if  both derivatives (right and left ones) do exist and have the same value. In this case, for the Domain [0,1]:

g'(0)=g'(1)

2) Examining it, the Domain for this set is smaller than the Real Set, since it is [0,1]

The limit to the left

g(x)=x^{2}\\g'(x)=2x\\ g'(0)=2(0) \Rightarrow g'(0)=0

g(x)=x^{2}\\g'(x)=2x\\ g'(1)=2(1) \Rightarrow g'(1)=2

g'(x)=f(x) then g'(0)=f(0) and g'(1)=f(1)

3) Since g'(0) ≠ g'(1), i.e. 0≠2, then this function is not differentiable for g:[0,1]→R

Because this is the same as to calculate the limit from the left and right side, of g(x).

f'(c)=\lim_{x\rightarrow c}\left [\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a} \right ]\\\\g'(0)=\lim_{x\rightarrow 0}\left [\frac{g(b)-g(a)}{b-a} \right ]\\\\g'(1)=\lim_{x\rightarrow 1}\left [\frac{g(b)-g(a)}{b-a} \right ]

This is what the Bilateral Theorem says:

\lim_{x\rightarrow c^{-}}f(x)=L\Leftrightarrow \lim_{x\rightarrow c^{+}}f(x)=L\:and\:\lim_{x\rightarrow c^{-}}f(x)=L
