Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are just looking for the derivative, then all you need to use the power rule for this. Technically the x in (x-9) has a power to the 1, so really x^1-9. To use power rule, you bring down the exponent, in this case, 1, and then minus 1 from what the exponent was.

1x^(1-1) = 1x^0. The derivative of any constant is 0, so don't even worry about the -9. We know that anything raised to the zero is just 1, so in this case your answer is 1.

Hope this helps :)

The surface area of this rectangular prism is 14,664 square yards. What is the value of z?

worty [1.4K]

The value of z is 13,184 because you first multiply 37 times 40 and you get 1,480 , so then you subtract the area which is 14,664 minus 1,480 and the answer you get is z

The equation of the parabola is (y-1)^2 = 16(x+3)

Mandarinka [93]

We know that

if the y terms is squared so it opens left or right

Is a Horizontal Parabola, the equation is of the form
(y-k)²=4(p)(x-h)
vertex is (h,k)
and
p is distance from focus to vertex, also distance from vertex to directrix
if p>0, then it opens to the right and directrix is to the left of vertex
if p<0, then it opens to the left and directrix is to the right of vertex

so
(y-1)²=4(4)(x-(-3))
vertex is (-3,1)
4>0 so directrix is to left of vertex
left is in x direction
-3-4=-7
directrix is x=-7

the answer is
x=-7
