PQR is a triangle with vertices P (−2, 4), Q(4, 0) and R (3, 6). Find the equation of the median through R.

(1) Find the Midpoint of PQ which is (1,2) (Halfway between the x and y coordinates)(2) dy/dx for M(1,2) -> R(3,6) = (6-2)/(3-1) = 4/2 = 2(3) y =mx + c so y = 2x + c when R(3,6) is input 6 = 2(3) + c, c = 0 so y=2x

Solve log_2(3x + 7) = 3 + log_2(x – 1), x > 1.


Determine for what values of c, f(x)=4x^2-(2c+8)x+4 has no real roots.


Given that, dy/dx = 6x^2 - 3x + 4, and y = 14 when x = 2, express y in terms of x.


If f(x) = 1/(6x^2), where x not equal to 0, find the rate of change when x=4.
