A student draws two parabolas on graph paper. Both parabolas cross the x-axis at (-4, 0) and (6, 0). The y-intercept
of the first parabola is (0, -12). The y-intercept of the second parabola is (0, -24). What is the positive difference
between the a values for the two functions that describe the parabolas? Write your answer as a decimal rounded to
the nearest tenth.

(a) Given [tex]f(x) = x^3[/tex], the derivative is

[tex]f'(x)=3x^2[/tex]

which is exists for all [tex]x[/tex] in the domain of [tex]f[/tex], so [tex]]f[/tex] is differentiable everywhere and satisfies the mean value theorem. There is some number [tex]c[/tex] in the open interval (0, 2) such that

[tex]f'(c) = \dfrac{f(2) - f(0)}{2-0} \iff 3c^2 = \dfrac{8-0}2 = 4[/tex]

Solve for [tex]c[/tex] :

[tex]3c^2 = 4 \implies c^2 = \dfrac43 \implies \boxed{c = \dfrac2{\sqrt3}}[/tex]

We omit the negative square root since it doesn't belong to (0, 2). Graphically, the MVT tells us the tangent line to the curve [tex]f(x)=x^3[/tex] at [tex]x=\frac2{\sqrt3}[/tex] is parallel to the secant line through the endpoints of the given interval.

(b) [tex]f(x)=1+x+x^2[/tex] has derivative

[tex]f'(x)=1+2x[/tex]

By the MVT,

[tex]f'(c) = \dfrac{f(2)-f(0)}{2-0} \iff 1+2c = \dfrac{7-1}2 \implies \boxed{c = 1}[/tex]

(c) [tex]f(x) = \cos(2\pi x)[/tex] has derivative

[tex]f'(x) = -2\pi \sin(2\pi x)[/tex]

By the MVT,

[tex]f'(c) = \dfrac{f(2)-f(0)}{2-0} \iff -2\pi \sin(2\pi c) = \dfrac{0-0}2 \implies \sin(2\pi c) = 0 \\\\ \implies 2\pi c = n\pi \implies c = \dfrac n2[/tex]

where [tex]n[/tex] is any integer. There are 3 solutions in the interval (0, 2),

[tex]\boxed{c = \dfrac12, c = 1, c = \dfrac32}[/tex]

(Pictured is the situation with [tex]c=\frac12[/tex])

The complete figure is attached below.

It deals with the size of geometry, region, and density of the different forms both 2D and 3D.

The figure is given below.

The length of EF will be

EF = CF – CE

Then the value of CF will be

CF = 2 × 0.866

CF = 1.732

Then the value of CE will be

CE = BC × cos 42

CE = 1 × 0.743

CE = 0.743

Step-by-step explanation:

As all radii of a circle are congruent, [tex]\overline{OX} \cong \overline{OY}[/tex], it follows that [tex]\angle OXY \cong \angle OYX[/tex].

Because arc XY measures 60 degrees, we also know that [tex]m\angle XOY=60^{\circ}[/tex], and thus triangle OXY is equilateral.

Hence, XY=5 because all sides of an equilateral triangle are congruent.

Answer:

60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

miles that Sophia drove = 3/5 x 100 = 60 miles

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. The distance covered by Sophia and Toby is 300 miles and 200 miles, respectively.

A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25.

A fraction can also be described in the form of a percentages, to represent the part of the whole.

Given that the length of the entire trip is 500 miles. Also, the first 3/5 of the trip are covered by Sophia and the last 2/5 of the trip are covered by Toby.

Now, the distance covered by Sophia and Toby will be,

Distance covered by Sophia = (3/5) × 500 miles = 300 miles

Distance covered by Toby = (2/5) × 500 miles = 200 miles

Hence, the distance covered by Sophia and Toby is 300 miles and 200 miles, respectively.

Answer:

Let us assume that √2 is a rational number.

So it can be expressed in the form p/q where p, q are co-prime integers and q≠0

√2 = p/q

Here p and q are coprime numbers and q ≠ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

√2 = p/q

On squaring both the sides we get,

=>2 = (p/q)2

=> 2q2 = p2……………………………..(1)

p2/2 = q2

So 2 divides p and p is a multiple of 2.

⇒ p = 2m

⇒ p² = 4m² ………………………………..(2)

From equations (1) and (2), we get,

2q² = 4m²

⇒ q² = 2m²

⇒ q² is a multiple of 2

⇒ q is a multiple of 2

Hence, p, q have a common factor 2. This contradicts our assumption that they are co-primes. Therefore, p/q is not a rational number

√2 is an irrational number.

The equation that relates x and y is y = (1/3)x if the variables x and y vary directly and x = 18, y = 6.

It is defined as the relationship between two variables when the first variable increases, the second variable also increases according to the constant factor.

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is:

The variables x and y vary directly. Use the given values to write an equation that relates x and y. x = 18 y = 6

From the question:

y ∝ x

y = kx ..(1)

k is the constant of proportionality after removing the proportional sign.

Plug x = 18 and y = 6

6 = 18k

k = 1/3

Plug the value of k in the equation (1)

y = (1/3)x

Thus, the equation that relates x and y is y = (1/3)x if the variables x and y vary directly and x = 18, y = 6.

Answer:

The numerical sum of the degree measures of ∠DEA and ∠AEB is

= 180°

Step-by-step explanation:

supplementary angles :

The meaning of supplementary is related to angles that make a straight angle together. It means, two angles are said to be supplementary angles when they add up to 180 degrees. Two angles that are supplementary to each other, do not have to be next to each other. Two angles are supplementary, if

This means that ∠p + ∠q = 180°.

From the given figure, we can see that:

∠DEA + ∠AEB = 180°

x+25+9x+10 = 180°

10x + 35 = 180°

10x = 180° - 35°

10x = 145°

x = 145/10

x = 14.5°

Get  ∠DEA

∠DEA = x + 25

∠DEA = 14.5 +25

∠DEA = 39.5°

Get ∠AEB:

∠AEB = 9x+10

∠AEB = 9(14.5) + 10

∠AEB = 130.5 + 10

∠AEB = 140.5 °

Hence the value of x,  ∠DEA, and ∠AEB are 14.5°, 39.5°, and 140.5°

so, The numerical sum of the degree measures of ∠DEA and ∠AEB is

= 39.5 + 140.5

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The medals won by country A, country B, and country C is 79, 26, and 11, respectively.

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

Let the number of medals won by country A, country B, and country C be represented by A, B, and C, respectively. Now, the given conditions can be written as,

1.) The top three countries country A, country B, and country C won a total of 120 medals.

A + B + C = 120

2.) Country B won 11 more medals than country C

B = C + 11

3.) Country A won 38 more medals than the total amount won by the other two.

A = B + C + 38

A - 38 = B + C

Substitute the value of B+C form the last equation to the first equation,

A + A - 38 = 120

A = 79

Now, Substitue the value of A and B(from second equation)  in the first equation,

79 + C + 11 + C = 120

C = 15

Now, substitute the value of C in the second equation,

B = C + 11

B = 15 + 11

B = 26

Hence, the medals won by country A, country B, and country C is 79, 26, and 11, respectively.

I find the wording a bit confusing. Does the question mean that the laws of algebra determine what single vale of x will make the right side = the left side in both equations?

I think that's the way I will interpret it.

The easiest way to solve both of them is to divide by 4 on both sides of the top equation and divide by 2 on the bottom equation.

Solution

Top equation

4(x - 2) = 1000                                 Divide by 4

4(x-2 )/ 4 = 1000/4          

(x - 2)  = 250                                    Remove the brackets

x - 2 = 250                                       Add 2 to both sides

x - 2 + 2 = 250 + 2                           Combine

x = 252

Bottom equation

2(x - 2) = 50                                      Divide by 2

2(x - 2)/2 = 50/2

(x - 2) = 25                                        Remove the brackets

x - 2 = 25                                          Add 2 to both sides

x - 2 + 2 = 25 + 2                              Combine

x = 27
