Answer: JK=8

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe in the figure that JK is a tangent and KH is a secant and both intersect at the point K. Then, according to the Intersecting secant-tangent Theorem:

JK^2=KE*KH

You know that:

KH=KE+HE

Then KE is:

KE=KH-HE

KE=16-12

KE=4

Now you can substitute the value of KE and the value of KH into  JK^2=KE*KH and solve for JK. Then the result is:

JK^2=4*16\\JK^2=64\\JK=\sqrt{64}\\JK=8

The graph of the continuous function g, the derivative of the function f, is shown above. The function g is piecewise linear for
4vir4ik [10]
A) g=f' is continuous, so f is also continuous. This means if we were to integrate g, the same constant of integration would apply across its entire domain. Over 0, we have g(x)=2x. This means that


f_{0


For f to be continuous, we need the limit as x\to1^- to match f(1)=3. This means we must have


\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}x^2+C=1+C=3\implies C=2


Now, over x, we have g(x)=-3, so f_{x, which means f(-5)=17.


b) Integrating over [1, 3] is easy; it's just the area of a 2x2 square. So,


\displaystyle\int_1^6g(x)=4+\int_3^62(x-4)^2\,\mathrm dx=4+6=10


c) f is increasing when f'=g>0, and concave upward when f''=g'>0, i.e. when g is also increasing.

We have g>0 over the intervals 0 and x>4. We can additionally see that g'>0 only on 0 and x>4.


d) Inflection points occur when f''=g'=0, and at such a point, to either side the sign of the second derivative f''=g' changes. We see this happening at x=4, for which g'=0, and to the left of x=4 we have g decreasing, then increasing along the other side.


We also have g'=0 along the interval -1, but even if we were to allow an entire interval as a "site of inflection", we can see that g'>0 to either side, so concavity would not change.
