Answer:

The value of a = 5.

the value of b = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points on the line

(6, 10)
(a, 8)
(4, b)
(2, 2)

Given that all of the points are on the same line and the line represents a linear function.

Thus, the slope between any two points must be the same.

First, determine the slope between (6, 10) and (2, 2)

(x₁, y₁) = (6, 10)

(x₂, y₂) = (2, 2)

Using the formula

Slope = m = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

= [2 - 10] / [2 - 6]

= -8 / -4

= 2

Thus, the slope of the line = m = 2

Determine the value 'a'

(x₁, y₁) = (6, 10)

(x₂, y₂) = (a, 8)

Using the slope formula to determine the value of 'a'

Slope = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

As the slope between two points is 2.

now substitute slope = 2, (x₁, y₁) = (6, 10) and (x₂, y₂) = (a, 8) in the slope formula

Slope = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

2 = [8 - 10] / [a - 6]

2(a - 6) = 8 - 10

2a - 12 = -2

2a = -2 + 12

2a = 10

divide both sides by 2

a = 5

Therefore, the value of a = 5.

Determine the value 'b'

(x₁, y₁) = (2, 2)

(x₂, y₂) = (4, b)

Using the slope formula to determine the value of 'b'

Slope = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

As the slope between two points is 2.

now substitute slope = 2, (x₁, y₁) = (2, 2) and (x₂, y₂) = (4, b) in the slope formula

Slope = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

2 = [b - 2] / [4 - 2]

2(4 - 2) = b - 2

8 - 4 =b - 2

4 = b - 2

b = 6

Therefore, the value of b = 6

Derivative of a constant is 0

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$\displaystyle y = \sqrt{x - 3}$

$\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y = (x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
Chain Rule: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{d}{dx}[(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}] \cdot \frac{d}{dx}[x - 3]$
Basic Power Rule: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2} - 1} \cdot (1 \cdot x^{1 - 1} - 0)$
Simplify: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \cdot 1$
Multiply: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{-\frac{1}{2}}$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2(x - 3)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Root Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x - 3}}$

Step 3: Solve

Find coordinates

x-coordinate

Substitute in y' [Derivative]: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x - 3}}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply 2 on both sides: $\displaystyle 1 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{x - 3}}$
[Multiplication Property of Equality] Multiply √(x - 3) on both sides: $\displaystyle \sqrt{x - 3} = 1$
[Equality Property] Square both sides: $\displaystyle x - 3 = 1$
[Addition Property of Equality] Add 3 on both sides: $\displaystyle x = 4$
