You can go through the effort of determining the zero of the function analytically and evaluating an analytic expression for the derivative at that point, or you can let a graphing calculator do that heavy lifting. Since the numbers have to be "nice" for your equation to have the desired form, it is easy to know what to round to in the event that is necessary (it isn't).
We find the positive zero-crossing at x=2, and the slope of the curve at that point to be 8. Thus the line will have slope -1/8 and can be written as
.. x +8y -2 = 0
Answer:
Mr Blake's science class
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard deviation is a measure of variation.
It tells us how far each of the data set in the distribution are far from the mean of the distribution.
The average score of students in Mr. Blake's science class was 73 with a standard deviation of 11, while the average score of students in Mrs. Arnold's class was 75 with a standard deviation of 10.
Since 11>10, Mr Blake's science class is more variable than Mrs. Arnold's class.
Answer:
(7,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -3
substitute in the first equation
3x - y^2 = 12
3x - (-3)^2 = 12
3x - 9 = 12
3x = 12 + 9
3x = 21
x = 7
coordinates of intersection (7,-3)
Answer:
135 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
h = 60t - 5t²
t is in seconds and it says to find out the height after 3 seconds
Sub the value '3' into 't'
h = 60(3) - 5(3)²
h = 180 - 5(9)
h = 180 - 45
h = 135 m
