Use the lim f(x)-f(a)/x-a to find the derivative. x->a

f(x)=-3x^2-5x+1 and point (1,-7)

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Hello,

f(x)-f(a)= -3x²-5x+1-(-3a²-5a+1)=-3(x²-a²)-5(x-a)=-3(x-a)(x+a)-5(x-a)
=-(x-a)(3(x+a)+5)
=-(x-a)(3x+3a+5)

lim (f(x)-f(a))/(x-a)=- lim (3x+3a+5)=3a+3a+5=-6a-5
if a=1==>-6*1-5=-11

Otherwise
f'(x)=-6x-5
f'(1)=-6-5=-11



at point(1,-7)

What is the lowest common denominator of 20 and 24

Answers

the lowest common denomenator is the smallest common factor of them so
20=1 times 2 times 2 times 5
24=1 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 3
the lowest common denomenator is 1


I think the question should have been. what is the greatest common factor (4) or what is the smallest common multiple (120)

How would you find the zeros of the function by rewriting the function in intercept form? Ex: y=x^2-12x+32

Answers

Answer:

The zeros are x=4, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the function  y=x^2-12x+32.

Let us write this in intercept form by factoring the given function.

We can factor it by AC method.

We can write the middle term -12x = -8x-4x

y=x^2-12x+32\ny=x^2-8x-4x+32\n\text{Now we take GCF}\n\ny=x(x-8)-4(x-8)\n\ny=(x-8)(x-4)

Now, in order to find the zeros, we have

(x-8)(x-4)=0\n\nx=4,8

Therefore, the zeros are x=4, 8

The way i do it is factor x^2-12x+32 into (x-8)(x-4) then set each of those to zero which would look like 0=x-8 and 0=x-4. Then solve each equation and your answers would be x=8 and x=4

Which inequality is represented by this graph?

Answers

Answer: Choice B.  y \le -(1)/(3)x+1

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

Explanation:

We need to know the equation of the boundary line. This boundary goes through (0,1) and (3,0). Find the slope of the line through these points

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (0-1)/(3-0)

m = -1/3, negative slope means the line goes downhill as we move from left to right.

The y intercept is b = 1 as this is where the boundary crosses through the y axis

y = mx+b turns into y = (-1/3)x+1 after replacing m and b with m = -1/3 and b = 1 respectively.

The equation of the boundary line is y = (-1/3)x+1

-------------

The shading is below the boundary, so we'll have a "less than" sign involved here. More specifically, we'll have a "less than or equal to" sign because the boundary is a solid line rather than a dashed one. A solid line tells us "points on the boundary are part of the solution set". The inclusion is because of the "or equal to" portion.

Change the equal sign to a less than or equal to sign to get the final answer of y \le -(1)/(3)x+1 which is choice B.

Which polynomial is factored completely? a) g^5 - g
b) 4g^3 + 18g^2 + 20g
c) 24g^2 - 6g^4
d) 2g^2 + 5g + 4

Answers

d) 2g² + 5g + 4 is the polynomial that is factored completely.
This is because the terms in the polynomial do not have any common factors.

a) g⁵ - g can be factored into g(g⁴ - 1)
b) 4g³ + 18g² + 20g can be factored into 2g(2g² + 9g + 10)
c) 24g² - 6g⁴ cab be factored into 6g²(4-g²)
