QUESTION

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its inverted

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its .2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me understand why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=ax^2 just derivate it so that u get the value of dy/dx. which is in terms of a so substitute the given values in y=ax^2 . and b is nothing but the slope of the line in standard form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got a = y'/2x???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also a=y/x^2 so a=100/1000000(given values)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do we use a to find b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dy/dx=2ax r8t? and b=dy/dx ie slope in standard form dude!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2ax = b.... what do I use for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no jst find dy/dx which is .2 and this is equal to b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what happens to the x in 2aX = b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=1000 its given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2 x 1000 x .1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since after that its straight line sloppe remains constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=100/1000*1000=.0001

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right ok got it thanks so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you think you could answer my last question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

finally hughhh!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry. not everyone is great at math.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's late and it's summer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nor i m i dude sometimes its just like that take it easy dude

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, it's just that I get frustrated when I don't understand things right away. and typing is much harder than having an actual conversation when trying to get help. I appreciate it though.
