Trig question that has me baffled. y=½(x-2)²-8

Mathematics

In a graph, an intercept means a "touch" or a crossing, namely an x-intercept is when the graph touches the x-axis, thus is called an x-intercept, also goes by the name of the "solutions" or "zeros" or "roots".

when that happens, y = 0.  Likewise, when an y-intercept happens, namely the y-axis gets intercepted by the graph, then x = 0.

to get the x-intercepts, simply set y = 0 and solve for "x".

likewise, to get the y-intercepts, simply set x = 0 and solve for "y".

so let's do so in this case for the x-intercepts,

\bf y=\cfrac{1}{2}(x-2)^2-8\implies \stackrel{y}{0}=\cfrac{1}{2}(x-2)^2-8\implies 8=\cfrac{(x-2)^2}{2}
\\\\\\
16=(x-2)^2\implies \pm\sqrt{16}=x-2\implies \pm 4= x-2\implies \pm 4 +2 = x

and you get those two from there, and you know how much that is surely.

What is the coefficient of the xy term in the expression below? <br> 2x + 3y - 4xy - 10
alukav5142 [94]

For this case we have the following expression:

2x + 3y-4xy-10

By definition, a coefficient is the term that accompanies one or more variables.

For example:

3x + 5

The coefficient of the linear term is 3.

So, in the given expression we have to:

-4 is the term that accompanies the variables xy.

Answer:

-4

Find an equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola: x^2/a^2 - y^2/b^2 = 1 at the point (x0,x1)
musickatia [10]

The standard form of a hyperbola is <span><span><span>x2/</span><span>a2 </span></span>− y<span><span>2/ </span><span>b2 = 1
the tangent line is the first derivative of the function</span></span></span><span>y′ = <span>b^2x/ a^2 y
hence the slope is </span></span><span>m = <span>b^2 x0 / <span>a^2 <span>x1

</span></span></span></span>Therefore the equation of the tangent line isy−x1 = b^2 x0 / a^2 x1* (x−x0)
