Answer:
At (-2,0) gradient is -4 ; At (2,0) gradient is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we simply need to take the derivative of the function and evaluate when y = 0 (when crossing the x-axis).
y = x^2 - 4
y' = 2x
The function y = x^2 - 4 cross the x-axis when:
y = x^2 - 4
0 = x^2 - 4
4 = x^2
2 +/- = x
Hence, this curve crosses the x-axis twice, once at (-2,0) and again at (2,0).
The gradient at these points are as follows:
y' = 2(-2) = -4
y' = 2(2) = 4
Cheers.
Therefore, the slope of the line is 1/3. In case if you want the equation too.
Therefore, the equation is y=1/3x+2/3
Answer:
Choice A
Step-by-step explanation:
- SSS is not applicable as only 2 sides are congruent
- HL is lot applicable as triangles are not right angled (∠A and ∠E >90)
- ASA also not applicable as the angle should be included but is not
