What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-8, 7) and (-4, -5)? A. -3 B. 1 3 C. 3 D.

Find the sum of interior angles of a 10-sided figure. Explain what formula you used to get the answer.

Vilka [71]

Answer: 1440°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the above question, we'll use the formula (n-2) × 180. In this question, we are told that it has 10 sides. This implies that n= 10. Therefore, using the formula goes thus:

= (n - 2) × 180

where, n = 10

= (10 - 2) × 180

= 8 × 180

= 1440

Y = x – 6 x = –4 what is the solution to the system of equations? (–8, –4) (–4, –8) (–4, 4) (4, –4

fredd [130]

Answer:

(- 4, - 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = x - 6 → (1)

x = - 4 → (2)

Substitute x = - 4 into (1) for corresponding value of y

y = - 4 - 6 = - 10

Solution is (- 4, - 10 )

Which definite integral approximation formula is this: the integral from a to b of f(x)dx ≈ (b-a)/n * [<img src="https://tex.z-d

Stella [2.4K]

The answer is most likely A.

The integration interval [a, b] is split up into n subintervals of equal length (so each subinterval has width (b - a)/n, same as the coefficient of the sum of y terms) and approximated by the area of n rectangles with base (b - a)/n and height y.

n subintervals require n + 1 points, with

x₀ = a

x₁ = a + (b - a)/n

x₂ = a + 2(b - a)/n

and so on up to the last point x = b. The right endpoints are x₁, x₂, … etc. and the height of each rectangle are the corresponding y 's at these endpoints. Then you get the formula as given in the photo.

• "Average rate of change" isn't really relevant here. The AROC of a function G(x) continuous* over an interval [a, b] is equal to the slope of the secant line through x = a and x = b, i.e. the value of the difference quotient

(G(b) - G(a) ) / (b - a)

If G(x) happens to be the antiderivative of a function g(x), then this is the same as the average value of g(x) on the same interval,

$g_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{G(b)-G(a)}{b-a}=\dfrac1{b-a}\displaystyle\int_a^b g(x)\,\mathrm dx$

(* I'm actually not totally sure that continuity is necessary for the AROC to exist; I've asked this question before without getting a particularly satisfying answer.)

• "Trapezoidal rule" doesn't apply here. Split up [a, b] into n subintervals of equal width (b - a)/n. Over the first subinterval, the area of a trapezoid with "bases" y₀ and y₁ and "height" (b - a)/n is

(y₀ + y₁) (b - a)/n

but y₀ is clearly missing in the sum, and also the next term in the sum would be

(y₁ + y₂) (b - a)/n

the sum of these two areas would reduce to

(b - a)/n = (y₀ + 2 y₁ + y₂)

which would mean all the terms in-between would need to be doubled as well to get

$\displaystyle\int_a^b f(x)\,\mathrm dx\approx\frac{b-a}n\left(y_0+2y_1+2y_2+\cdots+2y_{n-1}+y_n\right)$

Write the first 4 terms of the arithmetic sequence With first term 37 and common difference 9

alexandr402 [8]

Answers:

first term = 37

second term = 46

third term = 55

fourth term = 64

==========================================

Explanation:

Start at 37. Add 9 to this term to get the second term. Add 9 to that result to get the next term, and so on.

first term = 37

second term = 37+9 = 46

third term = 46+9 = 55

fourth term = 55+9 = 64

-----------

The nth term formula is

a(n) = 9n+28

It can be found by plugging a = 37 and d = 9 into the general form

a(n) = a + d*(n-1)
