slope basically directs how steep a line is. it’s formula is rise/run of y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer:

rise over run

One of the most important things to understand about lines is the definition of slope. Slope is the 'steepness' of the line, also commonly known as rise over run. We can calculate slope by dividing the change in the y-value between two points over the change in the x-value.

0.4 repeating as a fraction for a mixed number

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator

2.Multiply to remove 1 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 101 = 10

3.Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 4 and 10, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 2,

so the answer is

0.4= 2/5

Find f(a), f(a+h), and 71. f(x) = 7x - 3 f(a+h)-f(a) h if h = 0. 72. f(x) = 5x²

Leni [432]

Answer:

$71. \ \ \ f(a) \ = \ 7a \ - \ 3; \ f(a+h) \ = \ 7a \ + \ 7h \ - \ 3; \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a+h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ = \ 7$

$72. \ \ \ f(a) \ = \ 5a^{2}; \ f(a+h) \ = \ {5a}^{2} \ + \ 10ah \ + \ {5h}^{2}; \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a+h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ = \ 10a \ + \ 5h$

Step-by-step explanation:

In single-variable calculus, the difference quotient is the expression

$\displaystyle\frac{f(x+h) \ - \ f(x)}{h}$ ,

which its name comes from the fact that it is the quotient of the difference of the evaluated values of the function by the difference of its corresponding input values (as shown in the figure below).

This expression looks similar to the method of evaluating the slope of a line. Indeed, the difference quotient provides the slope of a secant line (in blue) that passes through two coordinate points on a curve.

$m \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{rise}{run}$ .

Similarly, the difference quotient is a measure of the average rate of change of the function over an interval. When the limit of the difference quotient is taken as h approaches 0 gives the instantaneous rate of change (rate of change in an instant) or the derivative of the function.

Therefore,

$71. \ \ \ \ \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a \ + \ h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{(7a \ + \ 7h \ - \ 3) \ - \ (7a \ - \ 3)}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{7h}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ 7$

$72. \ \ \ \ \ \displaystyle\frac{f(a \ + \ h) \ - \ f(a)}{h} \ \ = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{{5(a \ + \ h)}^{2} \ - \ {5(a)}^{2}}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{{5a}^{2} \ + \ 10ah \ + \ {5h}^{2} \ - \ {5a}^{2}}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ \displaystyle\frac{h(10a \ + \ 5h)}{h} \\ \\ \-\hspace{4.25cm} = \ \ 10a \ + \ 5h$
