I need help with Precalculus.

#

Did I do it right?

Ok.

yes

The first two pictures are connected. I don’t really get them at all.

so for f-g you need to find the value of f at a point on x and the value of g at a point on x, then connect them with a smooth line.
Example:
x=-2, f-g=-0.5
x=-1, f-g=1
x=0, f-g=1.5
x=1, f-g=2-1=1
x=2, f-g=1.5-2=-0.5

for height and weight you just substitute in your function for h so you get 40(t/9+3)-120, then you expand your brackets to get 40t/9+120-120=40t/9, and this gives you the weight of the boy as a function of his age

for average slope you would do rise over run on the interval [5,7], you know your run is equal to 7-5 and your rise is f(7)-f(5) so -42--20 so -22 (double negative is positive), which leaves you with -22/2 or -11

for the next question its a similar scenario, you do 7-6=1 and 1/7-1/6 where you cross multiply and get 6/42-7/42 so -1/42 which you now divide by 1 and get -1/42

I see… let me write it down so that I can remember it better.

#

If that’s alright?

gloomy fractal
#

thats absolutely fine

whole pollen
#

Okay. Wrote it down. Thanks for the help, Alex.

#

Now for the next part in my homework. I’ll bring up pictures next time if I don’t get them.

#

no problem

And it became more complicated since I was never taught any of this.

i can't help you with all of those unfortunately, pick a few really important questions and i can do those

#

Okay.

#

Then… will these be okay?

for the top it becomes (x-0.5)^2-0.25+7 which becomes (x-0.5)^2 + 6.75
middle becomes -2x(12x-10x^2-30+25x) which is -2x(-10x^2+37x-30) which becomes 20x^2 - 72x + 60
bottom becomes x+7=(x+3)(x-3) which is x+7=x^2-9 which then goes to 0=x^2-x-16 where you can factorise to get (x-0.5)^2 - 0.25 -16 so (x-0.5)^2 - 16.25 = 0 so +/-sqrt(16.25)+0.5=x

Okay.
