Mathematics
1 answer:
Katena32 [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a = -6

b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of the tangent to the curve y = ax + bx^3, will be:

dy/dx = a + 3bx²

at (2, -4)

dy/dx = a+3b(2)²

dy/dx = a+12b

Since the gradient at the point is 6, then;

a+12b = 6 ....1

Substitute x = 2 and  y = -4 into the original expression

-4 = 2a + 8b

a + 4b = -2 ...2

a+12b = 6 ....1

Subtract

4b - 12b = -2-6

-8b = -8

b = -8/-8

b = 1

Substitute b = 1 into equation 1

Recall from 1 that a+12b = 6

a+12(1) = 6

a = 6 - 12

a = -6

Hence a = -6, b = 1

Which quadratic equation fits the data in the table? x -5,-2,-1,0,3,4,6 y 33,9,5,3,9,15,33
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

y = x² − x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic equation is:

y = ax² + bx + c

Pick three points and plug in.  I'll choose (-2, 9), (-1, 5), and (0, 3).

9 = a(-2)² + b(-2) + c

5 = a(-1)² + b(-1) + c

3 = a(0)² + b(0) + c

9 = 4a − 2b + c

5 = a − b + c

3 = c

We know c = 3, so substitute into the first two equations:

9 = 4a − 2b + 3

5 = a − b + 3

0 = 4a − 2b − 6

0 = a − b − 2

Solve by elimination or substitution.

b = a − 2

0 = 4a − 2(a − 2) − 6

0 = 4a − 2a + 4 − 6

0 = 2a − 2

a = 1

b = -1

Therefore:

y = x² − x + 3

What is the value of s in the equation 3r = 10 + 5s, when r = 10?
kupik [55]
S = 4

3(10) = 10 + 5s
30 = 10 + 5s
30 - 10 = 5s
20 = 5s
20 ÷ 5 = s
4 = s
