Determine an equation of the line that is perpendicular to the tangent to the graph y=1/x at x=2 and intersects at the point of tangency.

Answers

Answer 1

ANSWER

[tex]y=4x-\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

EXPLANATION

Two lines are perpendicular if they have opposite reciprocal slopes. So, to find the line, first, we have to find the slope of the line tangent to the graph of y = 1/x at x = 2. To do so, we have to find the derivative of the function and evaluate it at x = 2. That is the slope of the tangent line at that point.

The derivative of the function is,

[tex]y^{\prime}=\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{\prime}=(x^{-1})^{\prime}=-1\cdot x^{-1-1}=-1x^{-2}=-\frac{1}{x^2}[/tex]

So, the slope of the tangent line at x = 2 is,

[tex]y^{\prime}(2)=-\frac{1}{2^2}=-\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal,

[tex]m=-\frac{1}{y^{\prime}(2)}=-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{4}}=4[/tex]

So we have that the perpendicular line we are looking for is,

[tex]y=4x+b[/tex]

We have to find the y-intercept, b. We know that this perpendicular line intersects the graph at the tangency point, so with that point, we will find b.

The x-coordinate of the tangency point is x = 2, and the y-coordinate is,

[tex]y(2)=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Substitute (x, y) with (2, 1/2) in the equation of the line to find b,

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}=4\cdot2+b \\ \\ \frac{1}{2}=8+b \end{gathered}[/tex]

Subtract 8 from both sides,

[tex]b=\frac{1}{2}-8=\frac{1-8\cdot2}{2}=\frac{1-16}{2}=-\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

Hence, the equation of the line perpendicular to the tangent of the graph at x = 2 passing through the tangency point is,

[tex]y=4x-\frac{15}{2}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

if f(-4) = -31

then

f(-2) = -7

f(0) = 1

f(1) = -1

f(3) = -17

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to replace the x of the f(x) equation with said number in the left column. Then plug it into your calculator and your golden :]

ANSWER

x = -4

f(x) = -2x²+1

= -2(-4)²+1

= -32+1

= -31

x = -2

f(x) = -2x²+1

= -2(-2)²+1

= -2(4)+1

= -8+1

= -7

x = 0

f(x) = -2x²+1

= -2(0)²+1

= -2(0)+1

= 0+1

= 1

x = 1

f(x) = -2x²+1

= -2(1)²+1

= -2(1)+1

= -2+1

= -1

x = 3

f(x) = -2x²+1

= -2(3)²+1

= -2(9)+1

= -18+1

= -17

A rectangular auditorium seats 1749 people the number of seats in each row exceed the number of rows by 20 find the number of seats in each row

Answers

Let x = the number of seats

Let y = the number of rows.

Since the auditorium is rectangular and it has 1,749 people, then we can say that:

[tex]x\times y=1749[/tex]

Then, if the number of seats "x" exceeds the number of rows "y" by 20, then we can say that:

[tex]\begin{gathered} seat=row+20 \\ x=y+20 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now we have two equations. To solve for x, let's use the substitution method.

1. Rewrite the equation 2 x = y + 20 into y = x - 20.

2. Replace the value of "y" in equation 1 by x - 20.

[tex]\begin{gathered} xy=1749 \\ x(x-20)=1749 \end{gathered}[/tex]

2. Multiply x and x - 20.

[tex]x^2-20x=1749[/tex]

3. Transfer the constant term 1749 on the left side of the equation. When transferring over the equal sign, the operation will change. From +1749, it becomes -1749.

[tex]x^2-20x-1749=0[/tex]

4. To solve this quadratic equation, let's find the factors of -1749 that sums to -20.

a. 3 and -583 = -580

b. 11 and -159 = -148

c. 33 and -53 = -20

As we can see above, the factors of -1749 that sums to -20 are 33 and -53. Hence, the quadratic equation above can be factored to:

[tex](x+33)(x-53)=0[/tex]

5. Equate each factor to zero and solve for x.

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+33=0 \\ x=-33 \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} x-53=0 \\ x=53 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since the value of x cannot be negative, then the value of x is 53.

Therefore, the number of seats in each row is 53. In addition, there are 33 rows in the auditorium.

Since the distance from the center of the circle to each secant line is the same (5 units), we could assume that the both secant lines are similar. saying:

determine the inverse function of f(x) = x² + x - 6, x> - 1/2, if it exists. Then, state its domain and range. ​

Answers

Since the domain is restricted to one side of the axis of symmetry of the full graph of f(x), an inverse does exist.

Letting [tex]f(x)=y[/tex],

[tex]x=y^2 +y-6\\\\x=\left(y+\frac{1}{2} \right)^2 -\frac{25}{4}\\\\x+\frac{25}{4}=\left(y+\frac{1}{2} \right)^2[/tex]

Since the domain is restricted to the right hand side of the axis of symmetry, and since the range of the inverse is the same as the domain of the original function, we take the positive square root.

[tex]\sqrt{x+\frac{25}{4}}=y+\frac{1}{2}\\\\y=f^{-1}(x)=\sqrt{x+\frac{25}{4}}-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

The domain of the inverse is the range of the original function, which is [tex]\left[-\frac{25}{4}, \infty \right)[/tex].

The range of the inverse is the domain of the original function, which is [tex]\left[-\frac{1}{2}, \infty)[/tex],

Given:

Mr. Cumme has 8 3/4 yards of material for her class.

he needs to use 1/3 of the material to make an example.

To find the number of yards of material that he will need, we will multiply 1/3 by 8 3/4 to get the answer.

For the data in the table, does y vary directly with x? If it does, write an equation for the direct variation.A. yes; y=2xB. yes; y=3xC. yes; y=4xD. no; y does not vary directly with x.

Answers

We are given a table with values of "x" and associated values of "y". Let's remember that direct variation implies that each value of "y" will be related with its corresponding value of "x" according to the following relationship:

[tex]y=kx[/tex]

Where "k" is the constant of proportionality. If the table shown has direct variation the same constant should apply for each value. Let's take the first value of the table, that is, x = 3 and y = 6. Substituting we get:

[tex]6=k(3)[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 3 we get:

[tex]\frac{6}{3}=k[/tex]

Solving the operations:

[tex]2=k[/tex]

Now we substitute in the relationship:

[tex]y=2x[/tex]

Now, for the second value of "x", that is x = 6:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=2(6) \\ y=12 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since we did not get the corresponding value of "y" in the table, this means that the constant of proportionality doesn't work for this value, and therefore, "y" does not vary directly with "x".

How do I solve this, and how do I know if I need to add or subtract at the beginning

Answers

Let's solve the system of equations using elimination:

4x + 5y = 14

-4x -2y = -8

First, we need to get rid of one variable.

Sometimes we multiply them by some factors to have the same number on one variable, but in this case, we can subtract the x variable

4x +5y =14

-4x-2y = -8

----------------------

4x-4x =0, 5y -2y = 3y and 14-8=6

------------------------------

0+3y = 6

Solve the equation for y

Divide by 3 into both sides

3y/3 = 6/3

y = 2

Then, replace this variable on one equation, whichever you want:

4x + 5y = 14

4x +5(2) = 14

4x +10 = 14

and solve the equation for x

4x +10 = 14

Subtract 10 on both sides

4x +10-10 = 14-10

4x = 4

Divide by 4 into both sides

4x/4 = 4/4

x = 1

You can replace both variables to confirm the results:

4x +5y =14

4(1) +5(2) = 14

4 +10 = 14

14 = 14

---------------------------------

-4x -2y = -8

-4(1) -2(2) = -8

-4-4 = -8

-8 = -8

The result is correct, so my ordered pair is (x,y) = (1,2)

The required value of t is (-∞, -6) U (4, ∞).

What is a linear inequality and how is it solved?
Expressions with linear inequalities compare any two values using inequality symbols like "<" and ">." The mathematical expression with unequal sides is known as an inequality in mathematics. Inequality is referred to in mathematics when a relationship results in a non-equal comparison between two expressions or two numbers. Polynomial inequality, rational inequality, and absolute value inequality are the several types of inequalities that exist in mathematics.
First, create an equation for the inequality. The given equation must be solved for one or more values. Represent all of the values that you found on the number line now. On the number line, use open circles to symbolize the excluded values. the interval, then. To determine whether the values satisfy the inequality equation, substitute any random value from the interval into the inequality equation. The solutions of the given inequality equation are intervals that fulfil the inequality equation.

Given, the linear inequalities are t + 1 < -5 and t + 1 > 5
Solving the first inequality, t + 1 < -5 ⇒ t < -5 -1 ⇒ t < -6
Again, solving second inequality, t + 1 > 5 ⇒ t > 5 - 1 ⇒ t > 4
Combining the solution of both the inequalities, we have;
the value of t can take any value in (-∞, -6) U (4, ∞).
Therefore, the required value of t is (-∞, -6) U (4, ∞).
