Assignment 10 Query

What are your symbolic expressions, using x1 and x2, for the corresponding y coordinates y1 and y2.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

y1 = f(x1) = -1.77 (x1) - 3.87

y2 = f(x2) = -1.77 (x2) - 3.87

** y1 = f(x1) = -1.77 x1 - 3.87

y2 = f(x2) = -1.77 x2 - 3.87.

`dy = y2 - y1 = -1.77 x2 - 3.87 - ( -1.77 x1 - 3.87) = -1.77 x2 + 1.77 x1 - 3.87 + 3.87 = -1.77 ( x2 = x1).

Thus slope = `dy / `dx = -1.77 (x2 - x1) / (x2 - x1) = -1.77.

This is the slope of the straight line, showing that these symbolic calculations are consistent. **

** The graphs will all have slope 2 and will pass thru the y axis between y = -3 and y = 3.

The family will consist of all such graphs. **

query problem 6. three basic points graph of y = .5 x + 1

what are your three basic points?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

y intercept (0,1)

x intercept (-2,0)

and point to right of y is (1,1.5)

......!!!!!!!!...................................

** This is of the form y = mx + b with b= 1. So the y intercept is (0, 1).

The point 1 unit to the right is (1, 1.5).

The x-intercept occurs when y = 0, which implies .5 x + 1 = 0 with solution x = -2, so the x-intercept is (-2, 0). **

query problem 6. three basic points graph of y = .5 x + 1

What are your three basic points?

same as last answer

** The y intercept occurs when x = 0, at which point we have y = .5 * 0 + 1 = 1. So one basic point is (0, 1).

The point 1 unit to the right of the y axis occurs at x = 1, where we get y = .5 * 1 + 1 = 1.5 to give us the second basic point (1, 1.5)

}The third point, which is not really necessary, is the x intercept, which occurs when y = 0. This gives us the equation 0 = .5 x + 1, with solution x = -2. So the third basic point is (-2, 0). **
