The Process of Subduction

Explanation:

The Process of Subduction

¨The process by which ocean floor sinks beneath a deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle is called subduction. As subduction occurs the crust closer to a mid-ocean ridge moves away from the ridge and toward a deep-ocean trench.¨

The equations of the tangent to the curve y=xsinx at the point (pi/2,pi/2) is

never [62]

The first thing you have to realize is that tangent is the slope of a curve on a given point. You can solve for the slope by finding the derivative of the given function. So:

$\frac{d}{dx} xsin(x)$

Next use product rule (I recommend watching videos if you're confused):

$= [sin(x)] + [x*cos(x)]$

Next substitute you x-value (π/2) into your derivative:

$= [sin( \frac{ \pi}{2} )] +[ \frac{\pi}{2}*cos( \frac{\pi}{2})]$
$= 1 + \frac{\pi}{2} *0$
$= 1$

So our slope at π/2 is 1. Next we use our slope-form and substitute our given value and solve for y-intercept (algebra-stuff)

$( \frac{\pi}{2}) = 1( \frac{\pi}{2}) + b$
$b = 0$

So we get our equation:

$y = x$

So our answer is E

How is the idea of home represented regionally, locally and globally?

myrzilka [38]

Regionally, a home may be a general region, such as the south. Locally, this will be something on a much smaller scale such as your hometown. Globally, this will usually be a nation as your home.

Example -

My regional home is the south, my local home is Smallville, and my global home is the United States.

Hopefully, this helps! I'm a bit iffy on my answer, but I hope it satisfies you! =)
