Answer:
y = x^2 (x - 2) = x^3 - 2 x^2
dy/dx = 3 x^2 - 4 x
At x = 3 dy/dx = 3 * 9 - 4 * 3 = 15 The slope (gradient) of the curve
<h2>Evaluating Composite Functions</h2><h3>
Answer:</h3>
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
We can write how 
will be defined but that's too much work and it's only useful when we are evaluating with many inputs.
First let's solve for 
first. As you read through this answer, you'll get the idea of what I'm doing.
Given:
Solving for :
Now we can solve for 
, since 
, 
.
Given:
Solving for 
:
Now we are can solve for 
. By now you should get the idea why 
.
Given:
Solving for :
First: work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. If your answer is a negative number, then this is a percentage increase. :)
4879.64/7% = 69709.142857 (69709.14)
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!
