Answer:

Slope, sometimes referred to as gradient in mathematics, is a number that measures the steepness and direction of a line, or a section of a line connecting two points, and is usually denoted by m. Generally, a line's steepness is measured by the absolute value of its slope, m. The larger the value is, the steeper the line. Given m, it is possible to determine the direction of the line that m describes based on its sign and value:

A line is increasing, and goes upwards from left to right when m > 0

A line is decreasing, and goes downwards from left to right when m < 0

A line has a constant slope, and is horizontal when m = 0

A vertical line has an undefined slope, since it would result in a fraction with 0 as the denominator. Refer to the equation provided below.

Slope is essentially change in height over change in horizontal distance, and is often referred to as "rise over run." It has applications in gradients in geography as well as civil engineering, such as the building of roads. In the case of a road the "rise" is the change in altitude, while the "run" is the difference in distance between two fixed points, as long as the distance for the measurement is not large enough that the earth's curvature should be considered as a factor. The slope is represented mathematically as:

m =

y2 - y1

x2 - x1

Answer:

7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find slope when you have two ordered pairs, you use this equation: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

In this case, when you plug them in, you get (49-7)/(42-6), which is 42/36, which is 7/6.

Hope this helped :)

Consider the region bounded by the curves y=|x^2+x-12|,x=-5,and x=5 and the x-axis
Tasya [4]
Ooh, fun

what I would do is to make it a piecewise function where the absolute value becomse 0

because if you graphed y=x^2+x-12, some part of the garph would be under the line
with y=|x^2+x-12|, that part under the line is flipped up

so we need to find that flipping point which is at y=0
solve x^2+x-12=0
(x-3)(x+4)=0
at x=-4 and x=3 are the flipping points

we have 2 functions, the regular and flipped one
the regular, we will call f(x), it is f(x)=x^2+x-12
the flipped one, we call g(x), it is g(x)=-(x^2+x-12) or -x^2-x+12
so we do the integeral of f(x) from x=5 to x=-4, plus the integral of g(x) from x=-4 to x=3, plus the integral of f(x) from x=3 to x=5


A.
\int\limits^{-5}_{-4} {x^2+x-12} \, dx + \int\limits^{-4}_3 {-x^2-x+12} \, dx + \int\limits^3_5 {x^2+x-12} \, dx

B.
sepearte the integrals
\int\limits^{-5}_{-4} {x^2+x-12} \, dx = [\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^2}{2}-12x]^{-5}_{-4}=(\frac{-125}{3}+\frac{25}{2}+60)-(\frac{64}{3}+8+48)=\frac{23}{6}

next one
\int\limits^{-4}_3 {-x^2-x+12} \, dx=-1[\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^2}{2}-12x]^{-4}_{3}=-1((-64/3)+8+48)-(9+(9/2)-36))=\frac{343}{6}

the last one you can do yourself, it is \frac{50}{3}
the sum is \frac{23}{6}+\frac{343}{6}+\frac{50}{3}=\frac{233}{3}


so the area under the curve is \frac{233}{3}

Answer:

f(g(x))=3x+7

=3(2x-5)+7

=6x-15+7

=6x-8
