The right choice here is

"The graph of f is the graph of the equation y = f(x)."

Horizontal and vertical axes of the Cartesian plane are conventionally labeled and referred to as "x" and "y", respectively. When we talk about the graph of f(x) in that context, we usually mean the graph of y = f(x). However, this convention may not be followed in all cases. There may be no "y" label on the graph at all, or the horizontal axis may be labeled something other than "x".

If x = 10 and the area of the rectangle is 120, what is the length of the other side?

sweet [91]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

to find area you do length times width. if we have one side we have to find what 120/10 is. that is 12. 10 x 12 is 120.

9(d − 93) = –36 d = _______

goldenfox [79]

Steps to solve:

9(d - 93) = -36d

~Distribute

9d - 837 = -36d

~Subtract 9d to both sides

-837 = -45d

~Divide -45 to both sides

18.6 = d

Best of Luck!

g Use this to find the equation of the tangent line to the parabola y = 2 x 2 − 7 x + 6 at the point ( 4 , 10 ) . The equation o

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

The tangent line to the given curve at the given point is $y=9x-26$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the tangent line we to compute the derivative of $y=2x^2-7x+6$ and then evaluate it for $x=4$ .

$(y=2x^2-7x+6)'$ Differentiate the equation.

$(y)'=(2x^2-7x+6)'$ Differentiate both sides.

$y'=(2x^2)'-(7x)'+(6)'$ Sum/Difference rule applied: $(f(x)\pmg(x))'=f'(x)\pm g'(x)$

$y'=2(x^2)'-7(x)'+(6)'$ Constant multiple rule applied: $(cf)'=c(f)'$

$y'2(2x)-7(1)+(6)'$ Applied power rule: $(x^n)'=nx^{n-1}$

$y'=4x-7+0$ Simplifying and apply constant rule: $(c)'=0$

$y'=4x-7$ Simplify.

Evaluate y' for x=4:

$y'=4(4)-7$

$y'=16-7$

$y'=9$ is the slope of the tangent line.

Point slope form of a line is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on the line.

Insert 9 for $m$ and (4,10) for $(x_1,y_1)$ :

$y-10=9(x-4)$

The intended form is $y=mx+b$ which means we are going need to distribute and solve for $y$ .

Distribute:

$y-10=9x-36$

Add 10 on both sides:

$y=9x-26$

The tangent line to the given curve at the given point is $y=9x-26$ .

------------Formal Definition of Derivative----------------

The following limit will give us the derivative of the function $f(x)=2x^2-7x+6$ at $x=4$ (the slope of the tangent line at $x=4$ ):

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}\frac{f(x)-f(4)}{x-4}$

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}\frac{2x^2-7x+6-10}{x-4}$ We are given f(4)=10.

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}\frac{2x^2-7x-4}{x-4}$

Let's see if we can factor the top so we can cancel a pair of common factors from top and bottom to get rid of the x-4 on bottom:

$2x^2-7x-4=(x-4)(2x+1)$

Let's check this with FOIL:

First: $x(2x)=2x^2$

Outer: $x(1)=x$

Inner: $(-4)(2x)=-8x$

Last: $-4(1)=-4$

---------------------------------Add!

$2x^2-7x-4$

So the numerator and the denominator do contain a common factor.

This means we have this so far in the simplifying of the above limit:

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}\frac{2x^2-7x-4}{x-4}$

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}\frac{(x-4)(2x+1)}{x-4}$

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}(2x+1)$

Now we get to replace x with 4 since we have no division by 0 to worry about:

2(4)+1=8+1=9.
