Using derivatives, it is found that regarding the tangent line to the function, we have that:

The slope is of 962.

The equation of the line is y = 962x - 5119.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The slope of the line tangent to a function f(x) at x = x' is given by f'(x'). In this problem, the function is given by:

f(x) = 5x³ + 2x + 1.

The derivative is given by:

f'(x) = 15x² + 2.

Hence the slope at x = 8 is:

m = f'(8) = 15(8)² + 2 = 962.

The line goes through the point (8,f(8)), hence:

f(8) = 5(8)³ + 2(8) + 1 = 2577.

Hence:

y = 962x + b

2577 = 962(8) + b

b = -5119.

Hence the equation is:

y = 962x - 5119.

d2y/dx2=-2

Since the acceleration is a constant negative it has an absolute maximum value for y(x), thus it opens downward, as x decreases without bound as x approaches ±∞

Which best describes the graphs of the line that passes through (−12, 15) and (4, −5), and the line that passes through (−8, −9)

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

C) They are perpendicular lines.

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find the slope of the graph of the lines passing through these points using:

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The slope of the line that passes through (−12, 15) and (4, −5) is

$m_{1} = \frac{ - 5 - 15}{4 - - 12}$

$m_{1} = \frac{ - 20}{16} = - \frac{5}{4}$

The slope of the line going through (−8, −9) and (16, 21) is

$m_{2} = \frac{21 - - 9}{16 - - 8}$

$m_{2} = \frac{21 + 9}{16 + 8}$

$m_{2} = \frac{30}{24} = \frac{5}{4}$

The product of the two slopes is

$m_{1} \times m_{2} = - \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{4} = - 1$

Since

$m_{1} \times m_{2} = - 1$

the two lines are perpendicular.

A bike is bought for $1200 and sold 10 months later for $940.

Stolb23 [73]

Value

Depreciation is defined as the reduction in value of an asset over time. In this case, value reduction is due to wear and tear of an equipment (bicycle).

a. The depreciation value would simply be the difference in initial and salvage value divided by time in years.

Depreciation = (Initial value – Salvage value) / Number of years

b. Substituting the given values into the equation where:

Initial value = $1200

Salvage value = $940

Number of years = 10 months = 10/12 years

Calculating:

Depreciation = ($1200 - $940) / (10/12 years)

Depreciation = $312 / year

<span>Depreciation = $26 / month</span>

What is the difference? x+5/x+2-x+1/x2+2x

Mrac [35]

Question

x+5/x+2 - x+1/x²+2x

Answer:

= (x² - 4x - 1)/[x (x+2)]

= (x² - 4x - 1)/[x² + 2x]

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5/x + 2 - x + 1/x² + 2x

We factorise the second denominator to give us :

x + 5/x + 2 - x + 1/x(x + 2)

We find the L.C.M of both denominators which is x(x+2).

[x(x + 5)-(x + 1)] / (x (x + 2))

Expand the bracket

=[x² +5x - x -1] / [x (x + 2)]

=(x² - 4x - 1) / [x (x + 2)]

= (x² - 4x - 1)/ [x (x + 2)]

= (x² - 4x - 1) / [x² + 2x]
