Answer with explanation:
Let us assume that the 2 functions are:
1) f(x)
2) g(x)
Now by definition of concave function we have the first derivative of the function should be strictly decreasing thus for the above 2 function we conclude that
Now the sum of the 2 functions is shown below
Diffrentiating both sides with respect to 'x' we get
Since each term in the right of the above equation is negative thus we conclude that their sum is also negative thus
Thus the sum of the 2 functions is also a concave function.
Part 2)
The product of the 2 functions is shown below
Diffrentiating both sides with respect to 'x' we get
Now we can see the sign of the terms on the right hand side depend on the signs of the function's themselves hence we remain inconclusive about the sign of the product as a whole. Thus the product can be concave or convex.
Answer:
Slope = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Use any two pairs from the table of values, say (0, 3) and (2, 11).
Slope = ∆y/∆x
Slope = 
Slope = 
Slope = 4

Answer: x^2-3x+36</h3>
=========================================
Explanation:
The larger rectangle has area of (x+1)(x+1) = x^2+2x+1 through the use of the FOIL rule or distribution
If you use distribution, then it might help to let y = x+1 so we'd have y(x+1) lead to xy+1y which becomes x(x+1)+1(x+1). From there it might be easier to see how to get x^2+2x+1 after everything distributes again and simplifies.
The smaller rectangle has area 5x-35 which is found by distributing 5(x-7)
To get the shaded area, we subtract the two rectangle areas found above
shaded area = (larger area) - (smaller area)
shaded area = (x^2+2x+1) - (5x - 35)
shaded area = x^2+2x+1 - 5x + 35
shaded area = x^2-3x+36
