No,
A line is considered a "line segment" when a line connects to 2 points.
If a line was infinite length, it would never end up ending at one point.
Hope this was clear for you
The 1:3 ratio means that the distance from A to the point is 1/4 of the distance from A to B.
The difference of y-coordinates is 10-8 = 2. 1/4 of that is 2·1/4 = 1/2, so the point of interest will have y-coordinate 8 + 1/2 = 8 1/2. This apparently corresponds to the first selection:
... (6 1/2, 8 1/2)
3(x-1)^2 +2
This is your answer in vertex form, your h and k values are the vertex. Solving the function by using b/2a, we get that h is 1. ( in the equation 3 is your a, 6 is b and 5 is c.). ( 6/2(3)) = 1. We can then plug in 1 as x into the original equation and get positive 2 ( 3(1)^2 -6(1) +5) = 3-6+5 = 2. This is your vertex. In the function, your a value will always stay the same as this is your shrink or stretch. In this case, a is 3 so it will go outside the parenthesis. Put that all together and you get the function above.
Hope this helps :)
Well the answer is 0 because if anything = 0 then it has to be multiplied by 0 so x = 0
Using derivatives, it is found that regarding the tangent line to the function, we have that:
- The equation of the line is y = 962x - 5119.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The slope of the line tangent to a function f(x) at x = x' is given by f'(x'). In this problem, the function is given by:
f(x) = 5x³ + 2x + 1.
The derivative is given by:
f'(x) = 15x² + 2.
Hence the slope at x = 8 is:
m = f'(8) = 15(8)² + 2 = 962.
The line goes through the point (8,f(8)), hence:
f(8) = 5(8)³ + 2(8) + 1 = 2577.
Hence:
y = 962x + b
2577 = 962(8) + b
b = -5119.
Hence the equation is:
y = 962x - 5119.
