Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

“y varies directly as x”

y = kx

Plug in (4, 1.25) and solve for k:

1.25 = 4k

k = 1.25/4 = 0.3125

The equation becomes

y = 0.3125x

Find the derivative of the function f(x) = (x3 - 2x + 1)(x – 3) using the product rule.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, first, let's use the product rule.

Derivative of uv is u'v + u v', so it gives:

$f(x)=(x^3-2x+1)(x-3)=u(x) \cdot v(x)\\\\f'(x)=u'(x)v(x)+u(x)v'(x)\\\\ \text{ **** } u(x)=x^3-2x+1 \ \ \ so \ \ \ u'(x)=3x^2-2\\\\\text{ **** } v(x)=x-3 \ \ \ so \ \ \ v'(x)=1\\\\f'(x)=(3x^2-2)(x-3)+(x^3-2x+1)(1)\\\\f'(x)=3x^3-9x^2-2x+6 + x^3-2x+1\\\\\boxed{f'(x)=4x^3-9x^2-4x+7}$

Now, we distribute the expression of f(x) and find the derivative afterwards.

$f(x)=(x^3-2x+1)(x-3)\\\\=x^4-2x^2+x-3x^3+6x-4\\\\=x^4-3x^3-2x^2+7x-4 \ \ \ so\\ \\\boxed{f'(x)=4x^3-9x^2-4x+7}$

Hope this helps.

The line AB had midpoint (2, 5).<br><br>A has coordinates (1, 2).<br><br>Find the coordinates of B.

sveta [45]

Answer:

The line AB, with A(Ax, Ay), B(Bx, By) and midpoint M(Mx, My) satisfying:

Ax + Bx = 2Mx

Ay + By = 2My

=>

2 + Bx = 2*1

5 + By = 2*2

=> Bx = 0

=> By = -1

=> B(0, -1)

Hope this helps!

Solve the equation ?

Morgarella [4.7K]

6m+1=-23. Do the inverse operation of adding 1 which is to subtract 1 to both sides =====> 6m+1-1= -23-1

You divide by 6 both sides
6m/6=-24/6

m= -4
