A system of inequalities |
2020-02-01 |
|
Isaac pose la question : Austin has x nickels and y dimes, having a maximum of 15 coins worth a minimum of $1 combined. No more than 4 of the coins are nickels and no less than 11 of the coins are dimes. Solve this system of inequalities graphically and determine one possible solution. Penny Nom lui répond. |

Investigating y = (-2)^x |
2020-01-13 |
|
Gonzalo pose la question : This is not precisely a maths question, but it is formulated based on my maths curiosity. Fidgetting with my new graphic calculator, I started graphing things and had the idea to graph $y=(-2)^x.$
The result surprised me, and I thought a little bit about it, stored it on the back of my brain, and promised myself to look deeper into it someday. Harley Weston lui répond. |

Graphing piecewise functions |
2014-03-29 |
|
Rayven pose la question : Hi! I'm in eighth grade, taking ninth grade algebra 1. I'm confused as to how to
graph piecewise functions. I know that you have already answered a question similar to this
(I did my research first) but it didn't completely help me on my homework. I have to graph
piecewise functions for the specified domains, and create a table for the absolute values.
I know that two bars around a number means absolute value (two bars around -2 makes it +2)
, but how do I graph and chart the absolute value for the following:
f(x)= |x+3 | for -5≤x≤3
And then graph and chart: (on a separate graph):
f(x)= {x if x≤0
{x+1 if x <0
thank you!

Modelling the roof of a house |
2010-03-23 |
|
Sandi pose la question : This question has been haunting my dreams at night. It states the cross section of the roof of a house is modelled by the function y= -5\12|x-12|+5, where y>0 or y. Now I'm suppose to graph the function. b) Find the slope, height, length of sides, and base of the isosceles triangle. c)Explain what transformation must be applied to the graph of y=|x| to obtain the graph of y= -5\12|x-12|+5, where y>0 or y=0. 1st I put the equation into my calculator and graphed it. I got 10 for the height. We have had 2 sub teachers this past week. The first one told me the height should be 12 the other one told me 5. So I'm really confused. If I use my 10 units as height and the Pythagorean Theorem I get my sides to be 26 units the base 48 and my slope I calc to be 5/12. Both teachers are pretty sure I'm wrong and they are right but we all have different answers. Please help put this problem to rest so I can rest soundly at night. Thank you for your time.

Stairway construction |
2009-05-02 |
|
Olivia pose la question : Hi, I'm Olivia and I'm in 8th grade studying algebra 1. I'm having some trouble with my math project. It has to do with rules of stairway construction. It says that there are two generally accepted rules to building stairs.
Rule 1: x+y=43 and x+y=46 (cm)
Rule 2: 2y+x=61 and 2y+x=64 (y is the riser and x is the tread length)
I cant figure out how to graph them...it says they're supposed to intersect to make a square which is like the safety zone for building stairs (the stairs' rise and tread lengths are plotted as points) any points outside of that square are considered unsafe.
Did i explain it ok? Thanks for your help.

Concavity and the second derivative |
2008-10-15 |
|
Christina pose la question : I'm having trouble solving for a second derivative for the following graphing question.
f(x) = (X^2+2x+4)/2x
using the quotient rule, I found:
f'(x) = (x^2-4)/(2x^2)
however, using the quotient rule again I can't seem to solve it (concavity):
f'''(x)=[(2x)(2x^2)-(x^2-4)(4x)]/[(2x^2)^2]
f''(x)=[(4x^3-(4x^3 -16x)]/4x^4
f''(x)=16x/4x^4
f''(x)=4/x^3
and making the equation equal to zero result in 0=4 which doesn't seem to make sense... Penny Nom lui répond. |

Plotting a function |
2007-12-06 |

Paula pose la question : My son has a problem that says plot the point:
2x-3y=9
I have explained to him that there must be a function for y in order to plot that point, but he doesn't think so. The question above that one says find the function for y, and I assume we should use that function. Am I wrong? Can we plot a point without a y function. Stephen La Rocque lui répond. |

in numbers and increase the stretch of the y? Penny Nom lui répond. |
