Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
We already know that a right angle is 90° and where C is in the picture shows us an obtuse angle making it beleive that it must be above 90°, which leaves us with C as our final answer and is the only answer that makes sense to be correct. Hopefully this helped you.
Didn't you mean y = ax^2? "^" denotes "exponentiation."
The first derivative of y = ax^2 represents the slope of the tangent line to the curve of y = ax^2. Here, dy/dx = 2ax. When x = 2, dy/dx = 2a(2) = 4a.
The point of tangency is (2,y), where y = a(2)^2, or y=4a; thus, the point of tangency is (2,4a). The equation of the tangent line to y=ax^2 at (2,4a) is found by (1) differentiating y=ax^2 with respect to x, (2) letting x = 2 in the result: dy/dx = 2ax => dy/dx (at 2,4a) = 2a(2) = 4a
The line 2x + y = b is supposed to be tangent to y = ax^2 at (2,4a).
The slope of 2x + y = b is found by solving 2x + y = b for y:
y = b - 2x => slope m = -2
Thus, dy/dx = 4a = - 2, and thus a = -2/4, or a = -1/2. All we have to do now is to find the value of b. We know that 2x + y = b, so if x=-2 and y=-8,
2(-2) + [-8] = b = -4 - 8 = -12
Thus, the equation of the parabola is y = ax^2 = (-1/2)x^2.
a = -2 and b = -8 are the required a and b values.
13/4 =12/4 +1/4=3+1/4 so it has to be between 3 and 4 on the number line.Hope this helps and thank you for letting me help you ✅
Okay, there's two ways I can solve
A. 8/2 * 3^2
PEMDAS
8/2 * 9
4 * 9
36
Or
B.
eight divided by two is 4
four times three is 12
twelve to the power of 2 is 24
Hope this helps :)
