Answer: h(x) = 3*x^2 - 7*x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of a function is equal to the derivate:

remember that a derivate of the form:

k(x) = a*x^n is k'(x) = n*a*x^(n-1)

Then we have:

f(x) = 2*x - 10

f'(x) = 1*2* = 2

g(x) = 16*x - 4

g'(x) = 1*16 = 16

h(x) = 3*x^2 - 7*x + 8

h'(x) = 2*3*x - 1*7 = 6*x - 7

So the only that increases as x increases is h(x), this means that the greates rate of change as x approaches inffinity is the rate of change of h(x)

5. Find the general solution to y'''-y''+4y'-4y = 0

CaHeK987 [17]

For any equation,

$a_ny^(n)+\dots+a_1y'+a_0y=0$

assume solution of a form, $e^{yt}$

Which leads to,

$(e^{yt})'''-(e^{yt})''+4(e^{yt})'-4e^{yt}=0$

Simplify to,

$e^{yt}(y^3-y^2+4y-4)=0$

Then find solutions,

$\underline{y_1=1}, \underline{y_2=2i}, \underline{y_3=-2i}$

For non repeated real root y, we have a form of,

$y_1=c_1e^t$

Following up,

For two non repeated complex roots $y_2\neq y_3$ where,

$y_2=a+bi$

and,

$y_3=a-bi$

the general solution has a form of,

$y=e^{at}(c_2\cos(bt)+c_3\sin(bt))$

Or in this case,

$y=e^0(c_2\cos(2t)+c_3\sin(2t))$

Now we just refine and get,

$\boxed{y=c_1e^t+c_2\cos(2t)+c_3\sin(2t)}$

Hope this helps.

Write an equation in point-slope form of a line that has a slope of 2/3 and

Serggg [28]

Answer:

y= 2/3x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so basically we want to put it in the form y=mx+b where m is 2/3 and passes through the point (9,5). So sub in the x and y of the point in brackets into the equation. 5= 2/3(9) + b and solve for b so b = -1. Therefore the equation is y=2/3x -1

Rachel hikes at a steady rate from a ranger station to a campground that is 20 mi away. After 2 h, she is 13 mi from the campgro

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

-3.5

The distance Rachel covers per hour is 3.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

After 2 hours, she is 13 miles from the campground.

After 4 hours, she is 6 miles from the campground.

Let x be the number of hours, y be the number of miles from the campground, then we have two points (2,13) and (4,6).

The equation of the line passing through the points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ is

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

Substitute:

$x_1=2\\ \\y_1=13\\ \\x_2=4\\ \\y_2=6$

Hence,

$y-13=\dfrac{6-13}{4-2}(x-2)\\ \\y-13=-3.5(x-2)\\ \\y=-3.5x+7+13\\ \\y=-3.5x+20$

The slope of the line is $-3.5$ and it represents that the distance Rachel covers per hour is 3.5 miles.
