This response is based upon your having had some background in calculus. "dx" is not introduced before that.
Take a look at the sample function y = f(x) = x^2 + 9. Here x is the independent variable; the dependent variable y changes with x.
Now, for a big jump: we consider finding the area under a curve (graph) between x = a and x = b. We subdivide that interval [a,b] into n vertical slices of area. Each of those slices has its own area: f(x)*dx, where dx represents the width of such subarea. f(x)*dx is the actual subarea. To find the total area under the curve f(x) between x= a and x = b, we add up all of these individual subareas between x = a and x = b. Note that the subinterval width is
b-a
dx = ---------- , and that dx becomes smaller and smaller as the number of
n subintervals increases.
Once again, this all makes sense only if you've begun calculus (particularly integral calculus). Do not try to relate it to earlier math courses.
Answer:
35 students in the class.
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 5 students in the class, then 2 of them would wear glasses and 3 of them wouldn't. (Equation 1)
Now, there are 14 students how are wearing glasses.
We just times the whole Equation 1 by 7.
If there are 5 x 7 = 35 students in the class, then 2 x 7 = 14 of them would wear glasses and 3 x 7 = 21 of them wouldn't.
So, there are 35 students.
X>-6 is what i believe the answer is.
hope this helps!
So if you're driving 25 miles per hour, it would take you 7 hours to drive 175 miles.
175 miles ÷ 25 miles = 7 hours.
