I am a bit confused on a derivative is in Calculus. From what I understand, I derivative is the limit of a tangent line on a curve. I was wondering if someone can explain in simple terms what a derivative is and what is the point of calculating it. Thanks!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer your question fully can literally take up an entire  book.

The importance becomes obvious if you consider the derivative (and the inverse  of it the integral) as the foundation of calculus. I guess that askes the question what is calculus? For this answer a very very simplistic answer would be that it is the branch of mathematics that studies "non-constant" change (things that curve)

...... Let's see if  this makes sense? You are driving your car at a constant  50 mph . after one hour you are 50 miles from home and after two you are 100.

y=50x. you can calculate this value in a several of ways just take two time stamps and two distance stamps ... subtract the two times and two

ok now here is the REAL PROBLEM issue we want to know our CHANGE IN

VELOCITY (that is  ACCELERATION) ... if you take ANY two points you will

see that the SPEED is ALWAYS the same so the numerator is always 0 (zero) and thus the denominator (the difference in the time stamps) does not matter

now lets say that we are accelerating ..we are going y = 10 [tex]x^{2}[/tex] mph

at 3 seconds we are going 90 mph (10* 3^2) .. but we really don't care about that   we want the "acceleration" at EXACTLY that point...

to do that we "have to estimate" delta Y over delta X

lets take 3 and 0  .... (9-0)/3 estimate of acceleration is 3...

but WAIT we can do better (get closer) take 3 and 1 ... (9 - 1)/2

acceleration is 4... once again lets get closer to the exact 3 ...

3 and 2  ... (9 -4)/2 the acceleration is 5...

hold on !  lets get even closer use 3 and 3 and we get it exactly !

(9-9)/0 that is the answer hurray!  HOLD ON !  you CAN NOT DIVIDE BY ZERO ... no can do... we have to wait for newton and Leibniz to  

figure out lim as x-> 0 f(x)-f(x+ delta x) / x to get around the DIVIDE BY ZERO problem...

that is the derivative

Answers

The number of weeks Bart has been depositing money is 9 weeks according to investment and time.

The number of weeks of money depositing will be given by the formula -

Number of weeks = total amount deposited each week/total number of weeks × 100

Keep the values in formula to find the number of weeks of money deposit

Number of weeks = 90/10

Perform division that will include cancelling zeroes

Number of weeks = 9

If the factors of function f are (x − 6) and (x − 1), what are the zeros of function f?



A.-6 and -1

B. -1 and 6

C. 1 and 6

D. -6 and 1

Answers

Answer:

I think C is the answer .

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x-6) and (x-1) are the factors of function f then remainder of function f is 0.

(x-6)(x-1) = 0

Either,

x-6 = 0

x = 6

and

x-1 = 0

x = 1

so 6 and 1 are the zeros or roots of function f.

Hello, please consider the following.

[tex](x^2-4x)^2+7x^2-28x+12=0 \\\\(x(x-4))^2+7x(x-4)+12=0\\\\\text{Let's note }X = x(x-4)\text{ the equation becomes}\\\\X^2+7X+12=0\\\\\text{The sum of the zeroes is -7=-3+(-4) and the product is 12=(-4)*(-3).}\\\\\text{Wo we can factorise.}\\\\X^2+7X+12=X^2+4X+3X+12=X(X+4)+3(X+4)=(X+4)(X+3)=0\\\\X=-4 \ \ or \ \ X=-3[/tex]

So we need to solve:

Use the box plots comparing the number of males and number of females attending the latest superhero movie each day for a month to answer the questions.

Two box plots shown. The top one is labeled Males. Minimum at 0, Q1 at 1, median at 20, Q3 at 25, maximum at 50. The bottom box plot is labeled Females. Minimum at 0, Q1 at 5, median at 6, Q3 at 10, maximum at 18 and a point at 43

Part A: Estimate the IQR for the males' data. (2 points)

Part B: Estimate the difference between the median values of each data set. (2 points)

Part C: Describe the distribution of the data and if the mean or median would be a better measure of center for each. (4 points)

Part D: Provide a possible reason for the outlier in the data set. (2 points)

Answers

Answer:

The formula for iqr is q3 - q1

24

Step-by-step explanation:

The box plot is a visual way of presenting a dataset where the rectangle is used to represent the quartiles.

The IQR of the male dataset is 24.The difference in median of both datasets is 14.The best measure of center to use for the female box plot is the median. The best measure of center to use for the male box plot is the mean.A possible reason for an outlier is human error.

The given parameters are:

Male:                                                               Female

[tex]Minimum = 0[/tex]                                                 [tex]Minimum = 0[/tex]

[tex]Q_1 = 1[/tex]                                                              [tex]Q_1 = 5[/tex]

[tex]Median = 20[/tex]                                                    [tex]Median = 6[/tex]

[tex]Q_3 = 25[/tex]                                                            [tex]Q_3 = 10[/tex]

[tex]Maximum = 50[/tex]                                               [tex]Maximum = 18[/tex]

A. IQR  for male dataset

The IQR is calculated as follows:

[tex]IQR = Q_3 - Q_1[/tex]

For the male's data:

[tex]IQR = 25-1[/tex]

[tex]IQR = 24[/tex]

Hence, the IQR of the male dataset is 24.

B. Difference in median values

We have:

[tex]Median = 20[/tex]  ----- Male dataset                                                    

[tex]Median = 6[/tex] ----- Female dataset

So, the difference (d) is:

[tex]d = 20 - 6[/tex]

[tex]d = 14[/tex]

Hence, the difference in median of both dataset is 14.

C. Best measure of center

The female box plot (see attachment) has an outlier. This means that the measure of center to use for the female dataset is the median.

The male box plot has no outlier; this means that the mean can be used as a measure of center for the male box plot

D. Reason for outlier

There are several reasons that could cause an outlier in a dataset. One of the reasons is human error during data entry

Solve for 'x' in both of the following problems. Show all your work/explanations on your own paper and then submit a picture of your work and answers in the dropbox below.

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

1. <B is an inscribed angle in a circle which intercepts arc AC.

Therefore, m<B = ½ of m<AC

B = ½ * 128° = 64°

x = 180 - (64 + 43)

x = 180 - 107 = 73°

2. The circle given shows two chords intersecting at point H.

According to intersecting chords theorem, the products of the segments formed by one chord equals the product of the segments formed by the other.

Therefore,

[tex] 10*x = 14*5 [/tex]

Solve for x

[tex] 10x = 70 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 10

[tex] x = 7 [/tex]

how do you find the length of the hypotenuse when you have only the length of the altitude of the hypotensuse and a length of a leg?

Answers

Answer:

By using The Pythagorean Theorem:

[tex]/Hypotenuse/^{2} = /Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2} \[/tex]

/Hypotenuse/ = [tex]\sqrt\ /Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2} \}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem states that: Given a Right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of squares of the other two sides ( Here, being the length of the altitude and length of leg). That is,

[tex]/Hypotenuse/^{2} = /Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2} \[/tex] and hence,

/Hypotenuse/ = [tex]\sqrt\ /Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2} \}[/tex]

For example, If the length of the altitude is 4m and the length of leg is 3m. Using The Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse will be

[tex]/Hypotenuse/^{2} = /Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2} \\\/Hypotenuse/ = \sqrt{/Length of altitude/^{2} + /Length of leg/^{2}} \\/Hypotenuse/ = \sqrt{4^{2} + 3^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]/Hypotenuse/ = \sqrt{16+9} \\/Hypotenuse/ = \sqrt{25} \\/Hypotenuse/ = 5m[/tex]

The length of the hypotenuse for the given example will be 5m.

This is how to find the length of an hypotenuse.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use midpoint formula to find the missing F(x, y):

M = (E + F)/2(-7 + x)/2 = 0.5 ⇒ -7 + x = 1 ⇒ x = 1 + 7 = 8(2 + y)/2 = 4 ⇒ 2 + y = 8 ⇒ y = 8 - 2 = 6

Using Midpoint formula

[tex]\boxed{\sf M=\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{x_2+y_2}{2}}[/tex]

E(-7,2)M(0.5,4)F(x,y)

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto (0.5,4)=\left(\dfrac{-7+x}{2},\dfrac{2+y}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{-7+x}{2}=0.5[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto -7+x=1[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=1+7[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=8[/tex]

And

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{2+y}{2}=4[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto y+2=8[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto y=8-2[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto y=6[/tex]

Answer:

x<10

Step-by-step explanation:

On the number line it shows that the dot is at 10.  Since the dot is not colored in, we know it's not greater/less than or equal to.  Greater/less than or equal to is where it shows the symbol, but it's underlined, like this: ≤.  Only when the dot is colored in, is there a possibility it is greater/less than or equal to.  So it can be greater than or less than something.  Since it starts at 10 and is decreasing, it is going to be less than.

X will be less than something.  And because the dot is at 10, it means 10 was the start.  X is less than 10 since the arrow is pointing to where the numbers are decreasing.  So, x<10.
