  1. What is calculus? - Socratic

    Congratulations!! Now, let's do it for any point of the curve y=x^2 Firstly, we will introduce a new notation. This notation is dy/dx, which represents the gradient function of y=blahblah x. Also, f' …

  2. Question #aecce - Socratic

    We need to differentiate #f (x)# to find the gradient function. With this we can find the gradient at each given point and consequently be able to find the equations of the two lines.

  3. Question #764bc - Socratic

    The gradient of a scalar function, shows the direction in which the function increases at any point # {x,y}#. In the two dimensional case #vec r = {x,y}# so #1/abs (vec r) = 1/sqrt (x^2+y^2)# and …

  4. How do you minimize and maximize f (x,y)=e^x/e^y-x^2y

    A local minimum at x=-0.9453,y=-0.6334 Using the Lagrange multipliers technique. The figure shows part of the feasible region including objetive function level curves. The vector …

  5. Algebra can you solve this function f (x)=0.28x+1.7 to find

    color (blue) (0.28) The rate of change of a function at a specific point is the gradient at that point. This is a linear function, so it has a constant rate of change.

  6. What are the equations of the tangent and the normal to the curve

    Since the derivative of the function gives the gradient at x, we know that m = -1 where x=0. Having found the value of y at x =0, we can simply plug these numbers into the general …

  7. What is the function of the line that passes through the ... - Socratic

    Consider the standard straight line equation form of #y=mx+c# where #m# is the gradient.

  8. What is the direct variation for the graph that passes through the ...

    See below. I'm not sure if I am reading this question correctly. Direct variation is represented as: y=kx Where bbk is the constant of variation. We are given the point (2,5), so: 5=k2=>k=5/2 …

  9. The point P (alpha,beta) lies on the curve C with equation f

    May 5, 2017 · The gradient of the tangent to a curve at any particular point is given by the derivative of the curve at that point. The normal is perpendicular to the tangent so the product …

  10. Answers created by KillerBunny - Socratic

    Find the equation of straight line having a gradient of -#1/t# and passing through the point (#t^2#,2t). (pls see details below). ? Find range of a function given the domain?? What is the …
