The distance between two points, a and b, on a number line is expressed as
|a – b|, where a and b are rational numbers. Think about locating a point halfway between a and b on a number line. How can you find the coordinate for such a point? Develop a formula in terms of a and b that you can use to find the coordinate. Your formula must work for positive and negative values of a and b. Does absolute value play a role in your formula? Why or why not? Under what circumstances might your formula be used in the real world? Explain.

Discuss how you can find the coordinate of a point located other fractional distances from a to b (or from b to a). For example, locate a point three-fourths of the distance from a to b. What kind of calculation is involved?

Answer: x ≥ 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the minimum score on the next test as x & calculate it:

[tex]\frac{75+78+89+71+x}{5} =80\\\\75+78+89+71+x=80(5)\\\\313+x=400\\\\x=400-313=87[/tex]

So they need at least a score of 87 for the average to be 80+.

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle d \approx 15.8768[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the distance of d or AB.

From the right triangle with a 35° angle, we know that:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan 35^\circ = \frac{50}{PB}[/tex]

And from the right triangle with a 42° angle, we know that:

[tex]\displaystyle \tan 42^\circ = \frac{50}{PA}[/tex]

AB is PA subtracted from PB. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle d = AB = PB - PA[/tex]

From the first two equations, solve for PB and PA:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\tan 35^\circ } = \frac{PB}{50} \Rightarrow PB = \frac{50}{\tan 35^\circ}[/tex]

And:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\tan 42^\circ } = \frac{PA}{50} \Rightarrow PA = \frac{50}{\tan 42^\circ}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle d = AB = \frac{50}{\tan 35^\circ} - \frac{50}{\tan 42^\circ}[/tex]

Using a calculator:

[tex]\displaystyle d= AB \approx 15.8768[/tex]

Answer:

from left to right the second graph

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4(1/2)^x

y = 4(1/2)^x

-find the y-intercept

if x=0 then y = 4(1/2)^0 = 4*1 =4, the y-intercept is (0,4)

so is first or second graph

-look at the second graph and check if the function go trough the point (1, 2)

if x=1 then y = 4(1/2)^1 = 4/2 = 2

so the second graph it is

Answer:

the third one

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a = 50

b = 50

c = 80

d = 50

e = 130

Step-by-step explanation:

e = 180 - (25 + 25)   {Angle sum property & It is an isosceles triangle}

    = 180 - 50 = 130

a +e = 180  {Linear pair}

a + 130 = 180

a = 180 - 130

a = 50

d =a   {Vertically opposite angles}

d = 50

c = 180 -(50+ 50 )     {Angle sum property & It is an isosceles triangle}

c = 180 -100

c = 80

a+b + c = 180  {Straight angles}

50 + b + 80 = 180

  b + 130 = 180

          b = 180 - 130

          b = 50

The motion of the ant is a nonlinear graph;

It has its increasing segment at segment A, the constant segment at B and the decreasing segment at C.

THE TYPE OF GRAPH

The graph has 3 different straight lines, all of which point to different directions.

For a graph to be linear, such graph must have just 1 straight line. This means that the graph is nonlinear.

THE SEGMENTS OF THE GRAPH

The increasing segment of the graph is the segment that points in the upward direction.

In the attached graph, line segment A [i.e. from (0,0) to (2,16)] represents an upward movement of the ant because it points upward.

The decreasing segment of the graph is the segment that points in the downward direction.

In the attached graph, line segment C [i.e. from (4,16) to (6,0)] represents a downward movement of the ant because it points downward.

The constant segment of the graph is the segment that is represented by a horizontal line

In the attached graph, line segment B [i.e from (2,16) to (4,16)] represents the constant segment.

THE MOTION OF THE GRAPH

The ant travels at a constant speed through segment A. It then rests for 2 seconds in segment B and finally travels at a constant speed through segment C.

Answer: got 100% on test

Step-by-step explanation:

 Part A: This graph is not a linear function, because a linear function is a function whose graph is represented by a straight line and this graph does not represent a straight line. Which means it is a nonlinear function, because a non-linear function is any function that is not a linear function.

Part B: In line segment A the graph is increasing. In line segment B the graph is remaining constant. In line segment C the graph is decreasing.

Part C: The ant ran 16 cm up the hill in 2 seconds. It took 2 seconds to find his hole after that, then he ran all the way down his hole in 2 seconds.

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

take f(x)=5x-6, which is y=5x-6

switch the y for x and x for y and you get

x=5y-6

then add 6 on both sides and you get

x+6=5y

now divide both sides by 5 and you get

y=(x+6)/5

which is the inverse of the original function

Answer:

Solution given:

f(x)=5x-6

let f(x)=y

we get

y=5x-6

Interchanging role of x and y

x=5y-6

x+6=5y

y=[tex]\bold{\frac{x+6}{5}}[/tex]

Answer: The first graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

  (x -2)^2/16 +(y +2)^2/4 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of an ellipse is ...

  ((x -h)/a)^2 +((y -k)/b)^2 = 1

where (h, k) is the center, and 'a' and 'b' are the semi-axes in the x- and y-directions respectively.

Here, we have (h, k) = (2, -2), and a=6-2 = 4, b = 0-(-2) = 2. Then the equation is ...

  ((x -2)/4)^2 +((y +2)/2)^2 = 1

More conventionally, the denominators are multiplied out, so this is ...

  (x -2)^2/16 +(y +2)^2/4 = 1

Answer:

(-2, 21) and (2, -11)  let me know if anything didn't make sense

Step-by-step explanation:

Try and put the symbols in, so for x to the third power write x^3  just makes it all much easier.

The turning point is when a graph changes from increasing to decreasing, or the other way around.  What this means is that its slope is changing from positive to negative, or the other way around.  

The derivative allows you to find the slope at any point of a graph.  If you are unfamiliar witht his concept let me know and I can go more into it.  

Since the derrivative tells you the slope, if you find a spot where it equals 0 then you know before that point it was positive or negative, and then after that point it was the opposite.  In other words it changes, so it's exactly what we are looking for.  Also if a derrivative is ever non existant, like in the square root function the numbers under the square root cannot be negative, so any x value that makes them negative doesn't exist, this means you would want to check these point too because they can be turning points as well.

There are certain special cases where a derivative does not coss 0, and if that happens then the original function does not have a turning point.  So keep that in mind.

The derivative is 3x^2 - 12.  So we want to find when this equals 0.   We also know it always exists so only need to worry about the 0s. Hopefully you are familiar with quadratics having two zeroes, if not let me know.

3x^2 - 12 = 0

3x^2 = 12

x^2 = 4

x = 2 and-2

So these are the turning points.  You should double check though and choose an x value below -2, then between -2 and 2, then larger than 2 and make sure the signs swap.

These are the x values of the turning points.  Solve f(x) at these points to find the y values.  so f(-2) = (-2)^3 - 12(-2) + 5 = 21 and f(2) = -11  so now we know the turning points are (-2, 21) and (2, -11)

The coordinates of the turning points of f(x) are (-2, 21) and (2, -11).

An equation containing derivatives of a variable with respect to some other variable quantity is called differential equations. The derivatives might be of any order, some terms might contain product of derivatives and the variable itself, or with derivatives themselves.

The turning point is when a graph changes from increasing to decreasing, or the other way around that means, its slope is changing from positive to negative.

Given that the derivative of f(x) = x³ – 12x + 5 is 3x² - 12.

Since the derrivative tells the slope, if you find a spot where it equals 0 then before that point it was positive or negative, and then after that point it was the opposite.

The derivative is 3x² - 12.

3x² - 12 = 0

3x²  = 12

x²  = 4

Thus, x = 2 and-2

So, these are the turning points.  

Now Solve f(x) at these points to find the y values.  

so f(x) = x³ – 12x + 5

f(-2) = (-2)³ - 12(-2) + 5 = 21

f(2) = -11  

Hence, the coordinates of the turning points of f(x) are (-2, 21) and (2, -11).

One and one-half acres of rainforest are lost every second with tragic consequences for both developing and industrial countries.
