3 The first thing I will do is compute (f – h)(4). (f – h)(4)=f(4) – h(4). Each function may be calculated separately and will be subtracted due to the rules of composition. f(4)=2(4)+5 We will then substitute the 4 from the problem and plug it into the x. f(4)=8 +5 We will be using order of operations in order to evaluate the function. f(4)=13 h(4)=(7-4) / 3 The same process will be used in this function where we will plug in f(4) and h(4) then the problem will look like: h(4)=3/3 h(4)

1. An inverse or negative relationship is a mathematical relationship in which one variable, say y, decreases as another, say x, increases. For a linear (straight-line) relation, this can be expressed as y = a-bx, where -b is a constant value less than zero and a is a constant. For example, there is an inverse relationship between education and unemployment — that is, as education increases, the rate of unemployment decreases Inverse relationships and their counterpart, direct relationships, are

Linear Functions Natasha D. Collins MTH/208 14 April 2011 John Rudin Linear Functions Question: Using the readings in Ch. 3 of the text, identify and explain at least one real-world application of algebraic concepts for one of the following areas: business, health and wellness, science, sports, and environmental sustainability. Do you think it is easier to relate this concept to one of these areas over any other? Explain why. I think the point slope method would be good in professional

both of us reduce to simplest form? I don’t care what Godel’s Incompleteness Theorem says, because I know that you complete me. There are many proofs of my theorem, but you are far and away the most elegant. Let me show you that the function of my love for you is one to one and on to. I have a solution to Fermat’s Theorem written on the inside of my pants. Want a hot Euler body massage? Shall I iterate using Newton’s method to find your 0? In game theory I study situations

by addition the time argument. Doing so, we would write the per capita capital stock level as , rather than just writing . If we think of time as unfolding continuously, we can also think of capital as being a continuous function of time, and we can assume that the function has derivate . This derivative is the instantaneous change in per capita capital. In many presentations, is written as , but we will here use the more familiar notation . By writing the derivate as , so that we include

In a short-run production function, total product, average product, and marginal product changes as total product and labor increases. The total product increases rapidly up to 6.666 units of labor. This means that marginal product is increasing over the range of production when one additional unit of labor is added. While total product is increasing between 6.666 units of labor and 14 units of labor marginal product is decreasing. When a total of 14 labor units are used, total product has then reached
