Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
given a point the equation of a line with slope m that passes through the given point is
or equivalently
.
Recall that a line of the form , the y intercept is b and the x intercept is
.
So, in our case, the y intercept is and the x intercept is
.
In our case, we know that the line is tangent to the graph of 1/x. So consider a point over the graph . Which means that
The slope of the tangent line is given by the derivative of the function evaluated at . Using the properties of derivatives, we get
. So evaluated at
we get
Replacing the values in our previous findings we get that the y intercept is
The x intercept is
The triangle in consideration has height and base
. So the area is
So regardless of the point we take on the graph, the area of the triangle is always 2.
We need to graph the given piecewise function.
To graph any piecewise function we do that into parts
Let's graph upper part first which is
restriction for that is
that means we are free to pick any number for x that is between -5 and 3, including 3.
So we will find few points by plugging random numbers between -5 and 3.
Let's use x=-5, we get:
so first point is (-5,27).
similarly we can find other points like (0,2), (2,6), (-1,3) etc.
Now we join those points by a curved line.
means we use a close circle at -5
x<3 means use open circle at 3
------------
Repeat same process for 2nd part f(x)=x-4
choose any number between 3 and 7 like x=3, 4 etc
so we get points (3,-1), (4,0) etc
Now graph them
So the final graph will look like:
