<h3>Explanation:</h3>

When writing rational expressions, you need to be aware that ...

  1/4x = (1/4)x ≠ 1/(4x)

Parentheses around the denominator are required, unless you're typesetting the expression and can use a fraction bar for grouping.

The derivative of the curve expression is ...

  y' = x - 1/(4x) . . . . . parentheses added to what you wrote

and the expression (1 -(y')^2) can be written ...

  1 -(y')^2 = x^2 +1/2 +1/(16x^2) . . . . . parentheses added to what you wrote

The first and last terms of this trinomial are both perfect squares, so you might suspect the whole trinomial is a perfect square. You recall that ...

  (a +b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

This is a good "pattern" to remember. Using it is a matter of <em>pattern recognition</em>, as is the case with a lot of math.

Here, you have ...

  a = x

  b = 1/(4x)

In order for your trinomial to be a perfect square, the product 2ab must equal the middle term of your trinomial. (Spoiler: it does.)

  2ab = 2(x)(1/(4x)) = (2x)/(4x) = 1/2 . . . . . matches the middle term of 1 -(y')^2

Hence your trinomial can be written as the square ...

  1 -(y')^2 = (x +1/(4x))^2

_____

This is convenient because you want to integrate the square root of this. Your integral then becomes ...

\displaystyle\int\limits_{2}^{4}{\left(x+\frac{1}{4x}\right)\,dx

Is the sum of two integers always greater than the difference between them? Why or why not?
Sauron [17]
Yes because the gap is one less than the bigger of the two integers, plus you are adding a little bit more to the bigger integer so the sum will always be bigger than the difference.

6, 3, 4, 7, 3, 7, 8, 5, 7 i. Find the median ii. Find the mean iii. Find the modal mark
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

i. 6

ii. 5\frac{5}{9}

iii. 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First organize the data from least to greatest.  3,3,4,5,6,7,7,7,8

To find the median, remove the extremes from the data over and over.

3,4,5,6,7,7,7

4,5,6,7,7

5,6,7

6

To find the mean, add all of the numbers and divide by 9

3+3+4+5+6+7+7+7+8=50

50/9=5\frac{5}{9}

To find the modal mark, simply find the number present most in the data set: 7(occurs 3 times)

Hope it helps <3

Value of the y-intercept of the graph of f(x) = e1–x – 1?
frozen [14]

Answer:

(0, e-1) or (0, 1.718) to the nearest thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept occurs when x = 0 so here we have:

y = e^(1 - 0) - 1

= e - 1

So the y-intercept is the point (0, e-1)
