Answer:

slope = gradient...

gradient (m) = ∆y

∆x

= -4 - -2

2 - -3

= -4 + 2

2 + 3

= -2

Find all values of c in the open interval (a, b) such that f'(c)=(f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)

<h3>Answer: c = 7/4</h3>

================================================

Work Shown:

Compute the function value at the endpoints

$f(x) = \sqrt{4-x}\\\\f(-5) = \sqrt{4-(-5)} = 3\\\\f(4) = \sqrt{4-4} = 0\\\\$

With a = -5 and b = 4, we have

$f'(c) = \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}\\\\f'(c) = \frac{f(4)-f(-5)}{4-(-5)}\\\\f'(c) = \frac{0-3}{9}\\\\f'(c) = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\$

So,

$f(x) = \sqrt{4-x}\\\\f'(x) = -\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-x}}\\\\f'(c) = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-c}} = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\$

Use algebra to solve for c

$-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-c}} = -\frac{1}{3}\\\\\frac{1}{2\sqrt{4-c}} = \frac{1}{3}\\\\3 = 2\sqrt{4-c}\\\\2\sqrt{4-c} = 3\\\\\sqrt{4-c} = \frac{3}{2}\\\\4-c = \frac{9}{4}\\\\c = 4-\frac{9}{4}\\\\c = \frac{16-9}{4}\\\\c = \frac{7}{4}\\\\$

Explain why the formula for finding the area of a triangle makes sense in terms of the area of a rectangle? Thanks for helping:)

Artemon [7]

(I'll do my best to explain this:) ) if you put two triangles together they equal a rectangle. In other words if you split a rectangle from upper left corner to lower right corner you get two triangles. So if you multiply the triangle formula twice you get the rectangle formula.
