Answer:

(a)

f(a+h)=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4

(b)

f(a+h)-f(a)=2ah+h^{2} -3h

(c)

\frac{df(a+h)}{dx} \left \{ { \atop {a=7}} \right. =2h+11

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Simply evaluate (a+h) in the function:

f(a+h)=(a+h)^{2} -3(a+h)-4=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4

(b)

Evaluate (a) in the function:

f(a)=a^{2} -3a-4

Using the previous answers lets calculate f(a+h)-f(a)

f(a+h)-f(a)=a^{2} +2ah+h^{2} -3a-3h-4-(a^{2} -3a-4)=2ah+h^{2} -3h

(c) To find the rate of change of f(a+1) when a=7 we need to calculate its derivate at that point:

\frac{df(a+h)}{dx} \left \{ { \atop {a=7}} \right. =2a+2h-3=2(7)+2h-3=2h+14-3=2h+11

Why is the lcm of two numbers never less than the larger number?
Lady bird [3.3K]
This involves a bit of logic in thinking about what LCM actually means.

LCM is the least common multiple. A common multiple is a multiple shared by two or more numbers. And by multiple, we mean some number multiplied by successive integers; this set contains multiples of 5 {5, 10, 15, 20, 25...}. You can see that the least (or lowest) common multiple is the lowest multiple shared by two numbers. Like for 6 and 9, you have {6, 12, 18, 24...} and {9, 18...}, so LCM(6,9) = 18. 

Now, if an LCM must be shared by both numbers, and to get a multiple of the largest number, you have to multiply by an integer greater than or equal to 1, then the LCM of two numbers can never be less than the larger of the twi numbers. Generally, if x and y are positive real numbers, and x is greater than y, LCM(x,y)  \leq x.

In a test of a​ gender-selection technique, results consisted of 229 baby girls and 7 baby boys. Based on this​ result, what is
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure that the answer would be 229/236.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so. Since the results of the test is 229 for a girl and the results for a boy is 7. So i'm pretty sure what to do is combine both the results and keep that as the denominator. And then the numerator will be the result. So in this case the numerator would be 229 and the denominator would be 236.

I hope this helped, have a great day!!!
