Looking through my old calc notes, I am reading that f(x) needs to be continuous on [a,b] and f ' (x) also needs to be continuous on [a,b]. Both conditions are needed. If you had to pick just one, then I'd say f(x) being continuous is much more important. Though I'm not 100% sure on this one. My thinking is that if there was any discontinuities on f(x), then the arc length would be distorted and overblown. The arc length should not account for any piece that isn't on the curve.
Answer:
y = -1/2x + 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
- slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of the original slope (2 in this case) so y = -1/2 x + c
- to find c we substitute the values from the given point into the equation
(0) = -1/2*(5) + c
- rearrange and calculate and you'll get c = 5/2 or 2.5
- replace the value of c and now you've got y = -1/2x + 2.5
Hello,
The answer to your question is....
2/3 + 3/8
= (2 × 8) + (3 × 3)
3 × 8
= 25/24 OR 1 1/24
Hope this helps!!!! Sorry I took so long :)
Use Subtraction
1. Subtract
x+2y=7
3x-2y=-3
-------------
4x+0y=4 SIMPLIFY 4x=4
2. DIVIDE
4x=4
x=1
Substitute that into either of the original equations to get x=1, y=3
