<span>Answer: 0.00 meters
   
Solution:
   
Step 1: Define displacement DISPLACEMENT = a vector quantity that describes "linear or angular distance in a given direction between a body or point and a reference position."
   
Step 2: Understand the question
 
Assumption 1: Assume that when the ant moves 4.25 meters from its origin to its nest, it is moving in a positive direction (on a graph you would draw a line along the x-axis from its origin to +4.25).
   
Assumption 2: Assume that when the ant "turns around...back to the source of food", it is moving back in the negative direction (towards the origin).

Step 3: Analyze the question
   
What is the distance between where the ant originally started and where it ended its journey?
 
The ant started and ended its journey in the same place. While it traveled a distance of 8.52 meters (2 * 4.26 = 8.52), it's displacement is actually 0.00 meters (4.26 + (-4.26) = 0.00)
 
Therefore, the answer is 0.00 meters</span>

Find an equation for a line that is normal to the graph of y=xe^x and goes through the origin
Marina CMI [18]
Y = xe^x
dy/dx(e^x x)=>use the product rule, d/dx(u v) = v*(du)/(dx)+u*(dv)/(dx), where u = e^x and v = x:
= e^x (d/dx(x))+x (d/dx(e^x))
y' = e^x x+ e^x
y'(0) = 1 => slope of the tangent
slope of the normal = -1
y - 0 = -1(x - 0)
y = -x => normal at origin

Does anyone know how to factor
juin [17]

Answer:

Factoring is taking the greatest factor of an equation/expression and putting it behind parenthesis.

For example:

2+4: Factor it

2 is the greatest factor of the two

SO

2(1+2)

Ill give you a try it and you can factor it. I might check it later on.

42+ 36

If you are looking for something harder:

4x^4+ 6x^6
