2. Mr. Terrific Teacher recorded the scores of unit

Using derivatives, it is found that the x-values in which the slope belong to the interval (-1,1) are in the following interval:

(-15,-10).

<h3>What is the slope of the tangent line to a function f(x) at point x = x0?</h3>

It is given by the derivative at x = x0, that is:

$m = f^{\prime}(x_0)$ .

In this problem, the function is:

$f(x) = 0.2x^2 + 5x - 12$

Hence the derivative is:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 0.4x + 5$

For a slope of -1, we have that:

0.4x + 5 = -1

0.4x = -6

x = -15.

For a slope of 1, we have that:

0.4x + 5 = 1.

0.4x = -4

x = -10

Hence the interval is:

(-15,-10).

How do you do this the test is tomorrow and I forgot how to do this?

MrRa [10]

Some things you need to know:

1) You need to know how to convert standard form to slope y-int. form and slope y-int. form to standard form.

2) When two lines are parallel, the slopes are the same.

3) When two lines are perpendicular, the slopes are negative reciprocals of each other. (Or their product is -1)
example: 3/4 --> -4/3.
3/4 * -4/3 = -12/12 = -1

4) To find the value of b, substitute the point into the equation.

5) Convert the equation to slope y-int. form to find the slope.

6) When a line has an undefined slope, the slope y-int. will look either like
y = __ (forms horizontal line) or x = __ (forms vertical line).
To find the perpendicular of these lines, turn y to x / x to y.
To find the value of __, look at the point located in the line, so if x = ___
passes through (5,3), then x = 5 because x = 5 in the point. So the
equation would be x = 5.

Rewrite the following statement using a number in scientific notation.

Mila [183]

Answer:

3.1 x 10^11

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that giga means billion, we can piece together that 310 gigabytes = 310 billion

310 billion = 310,000,000,000

When writing in scientific notation, we move the decimal point over until there is only a single digit to the right of the decimal point.

Currently the decimal point is all the way at the end of the 310 billion.

310,000,000,000.

We need to move it over to the left, keeping count of how many times we do so, and stopping when there is only one digit to the right of the decimal.

We end up with: 3.10000000000 or 3.1

We moved the decimal over 11 times. This can be represented by the value 10^11 (pronounced as "10 to the 11th power")

Now, we combine these two to create 3.1 x 10^11

We must multiply the 3.1 by 10^11 in order to create the same amount as 310,000,000,000 (310 billion). If we were to leave 3.1 alone, it would not represent 310 billion.

Thus, we leave this as 3.1 x 10^11 which is scientific notation.
