Answer:

a) y = 7.74*x + 7.5

b)  y = 1.148*x + 6.036

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

                                  f(x) = 6 - 10*x^2

                                  g(x) = 8 - (x-2)^2

Find:

(a) The line simultaneously tangent to both graphs having the LARGEST slope has equation

(b) The other line simultaneously tangent to both graphs has equation,

Solution:

- Find the derivatives of the two functions given:

                                f'(x) = -20*x

                                g'(x) = -2*(x-2)

- Since, the derivative of both function depends on the x coordinate. We will choose a point x_o which is common for both the functions f(x) and g(x). Point: ( x_o , g(x_o)) Hence,

                                g'(x_o) = -2*(x_o -2)

- Now compute the gradient of a line tangent to both graphs at point (x_o , g(x_o) ) on g(x) graph and point ( x , f(x) ) on function f(x):

                                m = (g(x_o) - f(x)) / (x_o - x)

                                m = (8 - (x_o-2)^2 - 6 + 10*x^2) / (x_o - x)

                                m = (8 - (x_o^2 - 4*x_o + 4) - 6 + 10*x^2)/(x_o - x)

                                m = ( 8 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o -4 -6 +10*x^2) /(x_o - x)

                                m = ( -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) /(x_o - x)

- Now the gradient of the line computed from a point on each graph m must be equal to the derivatives computed earlier for each function:

                                m = f'(x) = g'(x_o)

- We will develop the first expression:

                                m = f'(x)

                                ( -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) /(x_o - x) = -20*x

Eq 1.                          (-2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) = -20*x*x_o + 20*x^2

And,

                              m = g'(x_o)

                              ( -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2) /(x_o - x) = -20*x

                              -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o + 10*x^2 = -2(x_o - 2)(x_o - x)

Eq 2                       -2 - x_o^2 + 4*x_o+ 10*x^2 = -2(x_o^2 - x_o*(x + 2) + 2*x)

- Now subtract the two equations (Eq 1 - Eq 2):

                              -20*x*x_o + 20*x^2 + 2*x_o^2 - 2*x_o*(x + 2) + 4*x = 0

                              -22*x*x_o + 20*x^2 + 2*x_o^2 - 4*x_o + 4*x = 0

- Form factors:       20*x^2 - 20*x*x_o - 2*x*x_o + 2*x_o^2 - 4*x_o + 4*x = 0

                              20*x*(x - x_o) - 2*x_o*(x - x_o) + 4*(x - x_o) = 0

                               (x - x_o)(20*x - 2*x_o + 4) = 0  

                               x = x_o   ,     x_o = 10x + 2    

- For x_o = 10x + 2  ,

                               (g(10*x + 2) - f(x))/(10*x + 2 - x) = -20*x

                                (8 - 100*x^2 - 6 + 10*x^2)/(9*x + 2) = -20*x

                                (-90*x^2 + 2) = -180*x^2 - 40*x

                                90*x^2 + 40*x + 2 = 0  

- Solve the quadratic equation above:

                                 x = -0.0574, -0.387      

- Largest slope is at x = -0.387 where equation of line is:

                                  y - 4.502 = -20*(-0.387)*(x + 0.387)

                                  y = 7.74*x + 7.5          

- Other tangent line:

                                  y - 5.97 = 1.148*(x + 0.0574)

                                  y = 1.148*x + 6.036

Y=1/3x+4 going through the point (9,-2)
Art [367]
Substitute x=9 and y=-2 into equation,
Left hand side=-2
Right hand side=1/3(9)+4= 3+4=7

Because LHS doesn’t = with RHS, the point (9,-2) doesn’t satisfy with the equation

Therefore the point doesn’t go through y=1/3x +4.

Felicia got a designer job with a company that pay $55,000/year. What is Felicia's gross monthly income?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Felicia's gross monthly income = $4,583.33 (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Annual income = $55,000

Find:

Felicia's gross monthly income

Computation:

Gross income per month = Annual salary / Number of month in year

Gross income per month = Annual salary / 12

Felicia's gross monthly income = Annual salary / 12

Felicia's gross monthly income = 55,000 / 12

Felicia's gross monthly income = $4,583.33 (Approx.)

Find the equation of the line that passes through points A and B<br> B (2, 3) and B(2,3)​
Anika [276]

Answer:

y = 2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(4,7) (2,3)

slope = (7-3)/(4-2) = 4/2 = 2

y = 2x + c

when x=4 , y=7

7 = 2(4) + c

c = 7-8 = -1

y = 2x - 1
