Answer:
y = - 5x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing to do (always) is pay attention to x =0. That at least gives you a partial answer. y = y' - 1. when you put 0 in for whatever y' is you get 0. What about the other numbers? How did they come about.
We have another clue. Whenever you put in a positive number for x, you get a negative answer for y. That's interesting. So y' has a minus sign associated with it.
y = -ax - 1 Make a>0 so there is only 1 minus sign. x cannot have an even power, because an even power would make everything positive except the -1.
So we'll start with y= - ax - 1 We'll also make the assumption that a = 1
y = - x - 1 That won't work. a >1 otherwise x = 2 won't give - 11
y = -ax - 1
let x = 2
let y = - 11 Solve for a
y = - ax - 1
- 11 = -a*-2 - 1 add 1 to both sides
-11 + 1 = - a(-2) - 1 + 1
- 10 = -2a Divide by - 2
- 10/-2 = -2a/-2
a = 5
Answer: y = - 5x - 1
Check the picture below.
the ladder is 26ft, the roof is 24ft above, so the ladderis 2ft longer than needed, if you move the ladder 10 feet away, will it give 24 or more? well, you know already.
As it appears to be the same thing on both sides so far wouldn't you think that it's 8?
