The bucket leaks 1/4 ounce per hour. Because the numerator is 3 and it took 3 hours, you can give 1/4 to every hour (3/4 divided by 3).
Answer
(9-j)-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: Y = 1/4x - 2
Slope intercept form is y = mx + b
M is slope, and b is y intercept
Solving slope:
change in y over change in x is slope
The change in y from (0,-2) and (4,-1) is up one over four.
This can be represented as 1/4
Solving y-intercept:
Y-intercept is when x = 0 or when the line touches the y axis
As you can see on the graph, the y intercept is (0,-2) or -2
Final:
Y = 1/4x - 2
If
<em>f(x)</em> = <em>ax</em> ³ + <em>bx</em> ² - 5<em>x</em> + 9
then
<em>f '(x)</em> = 3<em>ax </em>² + 2<em>bx</em> - 5
Given that <em>f</em> (-1) = 12 and <em>f</em> '(-1) = 3, we get the system of equations
-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> + 5 + 9 = 12
3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> - 5 = 3
or
-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = -2
3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = 8
Multiply through the first equation by 2 and add it to the second one to eliminate <em>b</em> and solve for <em>a</em> :
2(-<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) + (3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em>) = 2(-2) + 8
-2<em>a</em> + 2<em>b</em> + 3<em>a</em> - 2<em>b</em> = -4 + 8
<em>a</em> = 4
Substitute this into the first equation above to solve for <em>b</em> :
-4 + <em>b</em> = -2
<em>b</em> = 2
