The point P(1,1/2) lies on the curve y=x/(1+x). (a) If Q is the point (x,x/(1+x)), find the slope of the secant line PQ correct

lukranit [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the equation of the curve

$y=\dfrac{x}{1+x}$

Point $P\left(1,\dfrac{1}{2}\right)$ lies on the curve.

Point $Q\left(x,\dfrac{x}{1+x}\right)$ is an arbitrary point on the curve.

The slope of the secant line PQ is

$\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{\frac{x}{1+x}-\frac{1}{2}}{x-1}=\dfrac{\frac{2x-(1+x)}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\dfrac{\frac{2x-1-x}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\\ \\=\dfrac{\frac{x-1}{2(x+1)}}{x-1}=\dfrac{x-1}{2(x+1)}\cdot \dfrac{1}{x-1}=\dfrac{1}{2(x+1)}\ [\text{When}\ x\neq 1]$

1. If x=0.5, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.5+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3}\approx 0.3333$

2. If x=0.9, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.9+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.8}\approx 0.2632$

3. If x=0.99, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.99+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.98}\approx 0.2513$

4. If x=0.999, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(0.999+1)}=\dfrac{1}{3.998}\approx 0.2501$

5. If x=1.5, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.5+1)}=\dfrac{1}{5}\approx 0.2$

6. If x=1.1, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.1+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.2}\approx 0.2381$

7. If x=1.01, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.01+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.02}\approx 0.2488$

8. If x=1.001, then the slope is

$\dfrac{1}{2(1.001+1)}=\dfrac{1}{4.002}\approx 0.2499$

Solve for x -3x+6=2x-24

ozzi

Answer:

7.5 or 15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x-3x+6=2x-24 -- Combine like terms

-2x+6=2x-24 -- Add 2x to each side

6 = 4x-24 -- add 24 to each side

30 = 4x -- divide by 4

15/2 or 7.5 = x

Explain how you can use absolute value to tell wether the sum of two integers is positive or negative

Rudiy27

Step-by-step explanation:

Using absolute value to tell wether the sum of two integers is positive or negative.

Suppose we have a positive integer,

x and a negative interger, -x and we want to find their sum, we take the absolute values of each of the integers, that is |x| and |-x|. Then we subtract these values: |x| - |-x|. If the larger integer is positive, the result of the difference is positive, but if the larger number is negative, the result of the difference is negative.

For any integer x, x + (-x) = 0

(x-5)^2+2=11 solve by using square roots.

JulijaS [17]

<h3>Answer: x = 2 or x = 8</h3>

Work Shown:

$(x-5)^2+2=11\\\\(x-5)^2=11-2\\\\(x-5)^2=9\\\\x-5=\pm\sqrt{9}\\\\x-5=\pm3\\\\x=5\pm3\\\\x=5+3 \text{ or } x = 5-3\\\\x=8 \text{ or } x = 2\\\\$
