The derivative is the rate of change of a function, basically represents the slope at different points. To find the derivative of the given function you can use the power rule, which means, if n is a real number, d/dx(x^n)= nx^(n-1). This is a simplification of the chain rule based on the fact that d/dx(x)=1. Anyway, this means that d/dx(x^3 + 1)= 3x^2. Here n is 3 and so it is 3*x^(3-1)= 3x^2. The derivative of x^3+1 is 3x^2.
If you are wondering what happened to the 1, for any constant C, d/dx(C)=0.
Answer:
a. 3/4 inches per minute
b. -1 1/8 inches per minute
c. B is fastest; 1 1/8 is more than 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
A <em>change</em> is a <em>difference</em>. A <em>rate of change</em> is <em>one difference divided by another</em>, usually the change in y-value divided by the change in x-value.
__
<h3>a.</h3>
The change in elevation is the difference between the elevation at the end of the period (6 inches) and the elevation at the beginning of the period (3 inches). The change in time period is the difference between the end time (8 min) and the beginning time (4 min).
change in elevation per minute = (6 -3 inches)/(8 -4 min)
= (3 inches)/(4 min) = 3/4 inches/minute
__
<h3>b.</h3>
Similarly, ...
change in elevation per minute = (3 -7 1/2 inches)/(18 -14 min)
= (-4 1/2 inches)/(4 min) = -1 1/8 inches/minute
__
<h3>c.</h3>
We know that 3/4 is more than -1 1/8, but when we talk about the "fastest rate of change", we're generally interested in the magnitude--the value without the sign. That means we understand a rate of change of -1 1/8 inches per minute to be "faster" than a rate of change of 3/4 inches per minute.
The rate of change from Part B is fastest. 1 1/8 inches per minute is more than 3/4 inches per minute.
Answer:
<em>Jane traveled 8 miles farther then her trainer</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The Pythagora's Theorem</u>
In any right triangle, the square of the measure of the hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of the legs. This can be expressed with the formula:
Where
c = Hypotenuse or largest side
a,b = Legs or shorter sides
Jane's path from the Health Club to the end of her route describes two sides of a right triangle of lengths a=16 miles and b=12 miles.
Her total distance traveled is 16 + 12 = 28 miles
Her trainer goes directly from the Health Club to meet her through the hypotenuse of the triangle formed in the path.
We can calculate the length of his route as:
c = 20 miles
The difference between their traveled lengths is 28 - 20 = 8 miles
Jane traveled 8 miles farther then her trainer
Answer:
y=3/4x-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay so to be parallel to an equation of another line, the line must have the same slope but a different y-intercept. First, you need to find the slope of the equation -3x+4y=4. The equation must be in y=mx+b format, so you first move -3x to the right by adding it on both sides, leaving you with 4y=3x+4. Next, you divide 4y by 4 in order to isolate y and do that on the other side. Now, you have y=3/4x+1.
To find the equation of the new line, you must put the point and slope into point slope form: y-y1=m(x-x1). In the point (4, 0), 4 would be x1 and 0 would be y1. so, the new equation is y-0=3/4 (x-4). now, distrubute the 3/4, leaving you with y=3/4x-3. This is correct since the slope remains the same in both equations with a different y-intercept. To check deeper, you could place point (4, 0) on a graph and then rise 3, run 4 until you get the line :) hope this helps
Here is your answer:
Your answer is 18%
Reason: That's because 18 has a invisible decimal point:
18.
Then you move to decimal and change it into a %
Which will make it 18%
Your answer is...
18%
