Answer:

$\bold{m=-\dfrac16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bold{slope\, (m)=\dfrac{change\ in\ Y}{change\ in\ X}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}$

(1, 3) ⇒ x₁ = 1, y₁ = 3

(7, 2) ⇒ x₂ = 7, y₂ = 2

So the slope:

$\bold{m=\dfrac{2-3}{7-1}=\dfrac{-1}6=-\dfrac16}$

scoray [572]

Answer:

Given - Radius of ring is 9 millimeters

To find - Circumference

Solution -

9 millimeters = 0.9 centimeters

Circumference of circle = 2 × pie × r

= 2 × 3.14 × 0.9

= 6.28 × 0.9

= 5.652

G(x) = -2x^3 – 15x^2 + 36x

shusha [124]

Consider the function $G(x) = -2x^3 - 15x^2 + 36x.$ First, factor it:

$G(x) = -2x^3 - 15x^2 + 36x=-x(2x^2+15x-36)=\\ \\=-x\cdot 2\cdot \left(x-\dfrac{-15-\sqrt{513}}{4}\right)\cdot \left(x-\dfrac{-15+\sqrt{513}}{4}\right).$

The x-intercepts are at points $\left(\dfrac{-15-\sqrt{513} }{4},0\right),\ (0,0),\ \left(\dfrac{-15+\sqrt{513} }{4},0\right).$

1. From the attached graph you can see that

function is positive for $x\in \left(-\infrty, \dfrac{-15-\sqrt{513} }{4}\right)\cup \left(0,\dfrac{-15+\sqrt{513} }{4}\right);$
function is negative for $x\in \left(\dfrac{-15-\sqrt{513} }{4},0\right)\cup \left(\dfrac{-15+\sqrt{513} }{4},\infty\right).$
