How is the derivative of a function related to the slop of the function?

Hi there!

The derivative of the function is the slope of the function at a specific x-value, or its instantaneous rate of change.

For example, take the equation y = x².

Using the power rule, we get:

y' = 2x

If we plug in any x-value into this equation, we can find the slope of the function at any point.

Ex:

x = 0; 2(0) = slope of 0

x = 2; 2(2) = slope of 4

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

55.5 B

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following points of data

48, 49, 50, 51, 54, 55, 56, 58, 60, 62, 63, 63

The median is the data point in the middle (when listed in order)

If we find the middle number we'll see that it's between 55 and 56. When this is the case you find the average of  the two numbers (add them and divide by 2)

(55+56)/2=55.5

= 13 matches

15% of the matches, the games ends in draw.
= 20 * 0.15
= 3 matches

The team is expected to lose in

Iam not sure about this questions answer can u give answer <br> Q10,11,12
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

10. First you multiply both sides by 3, making it 2x + 5 = 24

Then you subtract 5 from both sides making it 2x = 19

You dive both sides by 2 making x = 9.5

The answer is x = 9.5

11. First you need to find how much you need to pay each year. 12,000 x 0.05

you can make it easier by changing it to 120 x 5 = 600

You need to pay that for three years so 600 x 3 = 1800

Plus you need to pay the original money. 12,000 + 1,800 = 13,800      

The answer is $13,800    

12. First you change kilometers into centimeters. 172 km is 172,000 meters. 172,000 meters is 17,200,000

Then, you need to do 17,200,000 ÷ 500,000 but you can make it simple and do 172 ÷ 5 = 34.4

The answer is 34.4 cm
