How to take derivative of absolute value.

Answers

Answer 1

The absolute value function is defined as

[tex]|x| = \begin{cases}x & \text{for }x \ge 0 \\ -x & \text{for }x < 0\end{cases}[/tex]

If x is strictly positive (x > 0), then |x| = x, and d|x|/dx = dx/dx = 1.

If x is strictly negative (x < 0), then |x| = -x, and d|x|/dx = d(-x)/dx = -1.

But if x = 0, the derivative doesn't exist!

In order for the derivative of a function f(x) to exist at x = c, the limit

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c}\frac{f(x) - f(c)}{x-c}[/tex]

must exist. This limit does not exist for f(x) = |x| and c = 0 because the value of the limit depends on which way x approaches 0.

If x approaches 0 from below (so x < 0), we have

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^-}\frac{|x|}x = \lim_{x\to0^-}-\frac xx = -1[/tex]

whereas if x approaches 0 from above (so x > 0), we have

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{x\to 0^+}\frac{|x|}x = \lim_{x\to0^+}\frac xx = 1[/tex]

But 1 ≠ -1, so the limit and hence derivative doesn't exist at x = 0.

Putting everything together, you can define the derivative of |x| as

[tex]\dfrac{d|x|}{dx} = \begin{cases}1 & \text{for } x > 0 \\ \text{unde fined} & \text{for }x = 0 \\ -1 & \text{for }x < 0 \end{cases}[/tex]

quick question is this area or perimeter?

Answer:

2 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to be similar, there must have been the same scaling factor applied for length and width.

when going from 2 to 3 the width changes from 5 to 7, that is a changing factor of 7/5 = 1.4

and the length changes by the same factor :

6.5 × 7/5 = 1.3 × 7 = 9.1

So we can solve this in one single step, I'll start off with solving it.

So first we know that [tex]AB=DF[/tex] and of which [tex]DF[/tex] is the Hypotenuse of triangle [tex]DE F[/tex].

Since the hypotenuse is equal to one of the legs of the 2nd triangle, we cannot use any rule that has Side in it as they are both not really getting us anywhere.

We do know that [tex]<ABC=<DE F[/tex] as they are both 90 degrees.

As we don't have enough proof, these triangles are not congruent as we would need to do/prove rule RHS.

Answers

Answer:

x= 10/3

or

x= 3.334

Depending on simplified form asked.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x +8 =28

subtract 8 from both sides

6x = 20

divide by 6

x=20 /6

x= 10/3 or x =3.334

if you like my answer, please mark me brainliest !! thanks !! <3

x = -6
2(3x + 4) =-28
divide both sides by 2
2(3x+4)/2 = -28/2
after dividing its 3x + 4 = -14
subtract 4 from both sides
3x + 4 - 4 = -14 - 4
after subtracting its 3x = -18
divide 3 from both sides
3x/3 = -18/3
x = -6

Raheem is twice as old as Creflo.

Work out the ratio of Dean's age to Creflo's age to Raheem's age.

Answers

C = D + 6
R = 2C
D + C + R = 34

R = 2 (D+6)
R = 2D + 12

D + (D + 6) + (2D + 12) = 34
Add like terms.

4D + 18 = 34
4D = 34 - 18
4D = 16
D = 4

C = D + 6
C = 4 + 6
C = 10

R = 2C

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line passing through the two points (0,-2) and (3,0)

Answers

Answer:

y = (2/3)x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is interesting in that both the x- and the y-intercepts are given.  The y-intercept is (0, -2), and so 'b' in 'y = mx + b' must be -2:

y = mx - 2.  The x-intercept is (3, 0), so we know that y = 0 when x = 3:

0 = m(3) - 2

This latter result must be solved for m:  3m = 2, or m = 2/3.

Then the desired equation is y = (2/3)x - 2.
