Answer:

Sean is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope tell the rate of the steepness of a line. Slope just telling you the rate, not the distance. You can't average the slope of two lines because the length of the line can be different.  

Let's say A at (0, 0) and B (100, 200) and C at (101, 206). These coordinate fulfill the slope said above, but the slope of AC is 206/101= 2.04.

Sean can be right, but only if the horizontal length(x-axis distance) of AB=BC. If that so, using the example similar to above the coordinate can be A(0, 0), B(100, 200), C (200, 800). In this case, the slope is equal to the average of both lines.

Fluffy, Spot and Skampy have a combined age in dog years of 91. Spot is 14 years younger than Fluffy. Skampy is 6 years older th
WITCHER [35]

Answer: fluffy = 33yrs

Spot = 19 yrs

Skampy = 39 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let fluffy = x

Spot = y

Skampy =z

x + y + z = 91 -------1

x -14 =y ------2

z = x + 6 --------3

Put eqn 2 and 3 in eqn 1

x + x - 14 + x + 6 = 91

3x = 99

x = 33

y = 33-14= 19

z = 33+6 = 39

I need some help with this calculus 1 implicit diffrention problem?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

y" = -24 / y³

Step-by-step explanation:

6x² + y² = 4

Take the derivative of both sides with respect to x.

12x + 2y y' = 0

Again, take the derivative of both sides with respect to x.

12 + 2y y" + y' (2y') = 0

12 + 2y y" + 2(y')² = 0

Solve for y' in the first equation.

2y y' = -12x

y' = -6x/y

Substitute and solve for y":

12 + 2y y" + 2(-6x/y)² = 0

12 + 2y y" + 2(36x²/y²) = 0

12 + 2y y" + 72x²/y² = 0

6y² + y³ y" + 36x² = 0

y³ y" = -36x² − 6y²

y" = (-36x² − 6y²) / y³

Solve for y² in the original equation and substitute:

y² = 4 − 6x²

y" = (-36x² − 6(4 − 6x²)) / y³

y" = (-36x² − 24 + 36x²) / y³

y" = -24 / y³
