Hi there!
Begin by differentiating f(x) using the power rule:
dy/dx = nxⁿ⁻¹
Therefore:
f(x) = 3x² - 5x + 10
f'(x) = 6x - 5
Set this equation equal to 0 to find the x-intercept:
0 = 6x - 5
5 = 6x
x = 5/6, which is where the graph goes from NEGATIVE to POSITIVE, so there is a MINIMUM at this value.
Answer:
(7, 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
If Sidney places each piece 3 units east and 2 units north of the last one, we can figure out which coordinate comes first by subtracting the position of the second piece (S) by the position of the first piece (F):
We can conclude that coordinates are in the (East, North) format.
Therefore, the location of the third piece (T) is:

WORKINGS
Given that ABCD ≅ FGHJ
We know that corresponding angles of two congruent
quadrilaterals are equal
Therefore,
m∠A = m∠F
m∠B = m∠G
m∠C = m∠H
m∠D = m∠I
Given,
m∠C = 9x – 7
m∠H = 5x + 13
Since m∠C = m∠H
9x – 7 = 5x + 13
Add 7 to both sides of the equation
9x – 7 + 7 = 5x + 13 + 7
9x = 5x + 20
Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation
9x – 5x = 5x – 5x + 20
4x = 20
Divide both sides of the equation by 4
4x/4 = 20/4
x = 5
To determine the measures of angle C and angle H
m∠C = m∠H
We know that m∠C = 9x – 7
Since x = 5
m∠C = 9(5) – 7
m∠C = 45 – 7
m∠C = 38
Therefore, m∠C = m∠H = 38 degrees
Answer:
y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777
Step-by-step explanation:
We already know the slope, so the only thing left to find is the y-intercept.
To find the y-intercept, we can <u>plug in the slope and point to the slope-intercept form equation</u> (y = mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-int.)
y = m * x + b
(7) = (-8/9)*(-7) + b
<u>Now, just solve for b!</u>
(7) = (-8/9)*(-7) + b
7 = 56/9 + b
7 - (56/9) = b
b = 0.777777 (repeating decimal, usually signified by a little line above the 7)
so now we just <u>plug in the slope and y-intercept we found into y = mx + b.</u>
y = mx + b
y = (-8/9)x + 0.77777
