If

<em>f(x)</em> = <em>ax</em> ³ + <em>bx</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 9

then

<em>f '(x)</em> = 3<em>ax </em>² + 2<em>bx</em> - 5

Given that <em>f</em> (-1) = 12 and <em>f</em> '(-1) = 3, we get the system of equations

-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> + 5 + 9 = 12

3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> - 5 = 3

or

-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = -2

3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = 8

Multiply through the first equation by 2 and add it to the second one to eliminate <em>b</em> and solve for <em>a</em> :

2(-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) + (3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em>) = 2(-2) + 8

-2<em>a</em> + 2<em>b</em> + 3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = -4 + 8

<em>a</em> = 4

Substitute this into the first equation above to solve for <em>b</em> :

-4 + <em>b</em> = -2

<em>b</em> = 2

Solve<br>0.9(7x + 14) = 1.5 - (x + 2)
Triss [41]

\\ \sf\longmapsto 0.9(7x+14)=1.5-(x+2)

\\ \sf\longmapsto 6.3x+12.6=1.5-x-2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 63x+12.6=-x-0.5

\\ \sf\longmapsto 63x+x=-0.5-12.6

\\ \sf\longmapsto 64x=-13.1

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=\dfrac{-13.1}{64}

\\ \sf\longmapsto x=0.2

What is the slope?
Lena [83]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We need two points to find the slope

( 20,20) and (60,50)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (50-20)/(60-20)

   = 30/40

   = 3/4

In the equation y=ab^(x-h) +k how does the value of k affect the graph
Ainat [17]

Answer:

  • if k > 0 then the graph of the given equation will get shifted upward by k units.
  • if k< 0 then the graph of the given equation will get shifted downward by k units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the equation  y=ab^(x-h) +k and we have to state that how the value of k affect the graph.

We know that if we add/subtract some constant in the function value then the translation of the parent graph occurs in the vertical direction.

In other words, the parent graph either get shifted upward or downward depends on the value of the constant.

Therefore, we have

  • if k > 0 then the graph of the given equation will get shifted upward by k units.
  • if k< 0 then the graph of the given equation will get shifted downward by k units.
