What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (0,-7) and (-4,3)

erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope you have to take y2-y1 over x2-x1

y2=your second y poiny

y1=first y point

x2=second x point

x1=first x point

Since it is minus a negative you get to change it to a plus sign, because they cancel each other out.

3 + 7

____

-4-0

10/-4

This isn't quite simplified, so you find a common factor for the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number). You should note the number has to go into both numbers, not just one. The largest common factor would be 2 in this case.

10/2=5

-4/2=-2

Now your simplified answer would be 5/2

If you have a cubic polynomial of the form y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d and lets say it passes through the points (2,28), (-1, -5),

nikklg [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Solve using the first point

(2, 28)

$28 = a(2)^3 + b(2)^2 + c(2) + d$

$28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d$

Step 2: Solve using the second point

(-1, -5)

$-5 = a(-1)^3 + b(-1)^2 + c(-1) + d$

$-5 = -a + b - c + d$

Step 3: Solve using the third point

(4, 220)

$220 = a(4)^3 + b(4)^2 + c(4) + d$

$220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d$

Step 4: Solve using the fourth point

(-2, -20)

$-20 = a(-2)^3 + b(-2)^2 + c(-2) + d$

$-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d$

Step 5: Combine the first and fourth equations

$28 - 20 = 8a - 8a + 4b + 4b + 2c - 2c + d + d$

$8 = 8b + 2d$

$8 - 8b = 8b - 8b + 2d$

$(8 -8b)/2 = 2d/2$

$4 - 4b = d$

Step 6: Solve for c in the second equation

$-5 + 5 = -a + b - c + d + 5$

$0 + c = -a + b - c + c + d + 5$

$c = -a + b + d + 5$

Step 7: Substitute d with the stuff we got in step 5

$c = -a + b + (4 - 4b) + 5$

$c = -a + b + 4 - 4b + 5$

$c = -a - 3b + 9$

Step 8: Substitute d and c into the first equation

$28 = 8a + 4b + 2(-a - 3b + 9) + (4 - 4b)$

$28 = 8a + 4b - 2a - 6b + 18 + 4 - 4b$

$28 - 22 = 6a - 6b + 22 - 22$

$6 / 6 = (6a - 6b) / 6$

$1 + b = a - b + b$

$1 + b = a$

Step 9: Substitute a, b, and c into the third equation

$220 = 64(1 + b) + 16b + 4(-(1 + b) - 3b + 9) + (4 - 4b)$

$220 = 64 + 64b + 16b + 4(-1 - b - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b$

$220 - 100 = 60b + 100 - 100$

$120 / 60 = 60b / 60$

$2 = b$

Step 10: Find a using b = 2

$a = b + 1$

$a = (2) + 1$

$a = 3$

Step 11: Find c using a = 3 and b = 2

$c = -a - 3b + 9$

$c = -(3) - 3(2) + 9$

$c = -3 - 6 + 9$

$c = 0$

Step 12: Find d using b = 2

$d = 4 - 4b$

$d = 4 - 4(2)$

$d = 4 - 8$

$d = -4$

Answer: $a = 3, b = 2, c = 0,d = -4$

Greetings. As a beginner, I'm struggling a bit to learn calculus. May I know what is the derivative of x to the power 4 step by

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

If you're just starting calculus, perhaps you're asking about using the definition of the derivative to differentiate $x^4$ .

We have

$\dfrac{d}{dx} x^4 = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0} \frac{(x+h)^4 - x^4}h$

Expand the numerator using the binomial theorem, then simplify and compute the limit.

$\dfrac{d}{dx} x^4 = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0} \frac{(x^4+4hx^3 + 6h^2x^2 + 4h^3x + h^4) - x^4}h \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \lim_{h\to0} \frac{4hx^3 + 6h^2x^2 + 4h^3x + h^4}h \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \lim_{h\to0} (4x^3 + 6hx^2 + 4h^2x + h^3) = \boxed{4x^3}$

In general, the derivative of a power function $f(x) = x^n$ is $\frac{df}{dx} = nx^{n-1}$ . (This is the aptly-named "power rule" for differentiation.)

Which table does not represent a function?

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To be a function every input must have exactly one output. There are two input values with 2, therefore this makes it not a function.
