Given f(x) = (lnx)^3 find the line tangent to f at x = 3

Mathematics
1 answer:
kirill [66]1 year ago
6 0
Explanation

We must the tangent line at x = 3 of the function:

f(x)=(\ln x)^3.

The tangent line is given by:

y=m*(x-h)+k.

Where:

• m is the slope of the tangent line of f(x) at x = h,

,

• k = f(h) is the value of the function at x = h.

In this case, we have h = 3.

1) First, we compute the derivative of f(x):

f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{d}{dx}((\ln x)^3)=3*(\ln x)^2*\frac{d}{dx}(\ln x)=3*(\ln x)^2*\frac{1}{x}=\frac{3(\ln x)^2}{x}.

2) By evaluating the result of f'(x) at x = h = 3, we get:

m=f^{\prime}(3)=\frac{3}{3}*(\ln3)^2=(\ln3)^2.

3) The value of k is:

k=f(3)=(\ln3)^3

4) Replacing the values of m, h and k in the general equation of the tangent line, we get:

y=(\ln3)^2*(x-3)+(\ln3)^3.

Plotting the function f(x) and the tangent line we verify that our result is correct:

Answer

The equation of the tangent line to f(x) and x = 3 is:

y=(\ln3)^2*(x-3)+(\ln3)^3

Find the median of the data.<br><br> 12, 10, 14, 9, 8, 9, 15, 15
hram777 [196]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, order the numbers in the given set from least to greatest:

8 , 9 , 9 , 10 , 12 , 14 , 15 , 15

The median is the number found in the middle of the given set. If the amount of numbers in the set are even (as in this case), then you will find the mean of the two middle numbers.

In this case, the middle numbers are 10 & 12:

Find the mean. The mean is found by adding all the numbers together and dividing by the amount of numbers there is:

(10 + 12)/2 = (22)/2 = 11

11 is your median.

The original rectangle has a perimeter of 16
zaharov [31]

As we can see that the sides of the rectangle have been doubled

6.2 ft changed to 12.4 ft

Now when the sides have been doubled

the Perimeter will also be doubled

So the perimeter of new rectangle should be the double the perimeter of old rectangle

So perimeter of new rectangle = 2 (16 ) = 32 feet

Option C is correct
