PLEASE HELPP WILL FAN + MEDAL!!! Will medal + fan!!! What is the rate of change? –2x + 4y > 8
make it a function of y respect to x
x=time and y=the volume or substance
What? @raffle_snaffle
Isolate y.
how do I isolate y @swagmaster47?
The same way you would do it if it was –2x + 4y = 8
Just subtract 2x and divide the quantity by 4
like you would any function with an equals sign just remember when you are dividing by negative you have to flip the < sign
You actually don't need to worry about that in this problem, since it would have no effect on the rate of change. @raffle_snaffle
what do I subtract -2x from?
both sides
so I end up with 4y then dividing 4 by 4y isolates y right?
or wait no i get 2y or no
isolate y...
you have a question swagmaster?
-2x + 4y = 8 + 2x +2x 4y = 2x + 8 then divide both sides by 4
I divide 4y and 2x + 8 by 4 @swagmaster47?
Yes so y = (1/2)x + 2
And the rate of change is the slope which is 1/2
thanks @swagmaster47
