Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of tangent line of given function at (e,1) is found by implicitly differentiating the given function w.r.to x

Equation of tangent line is
y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
at (e,1)

2x + 3 = 4x + 2
3 - 2 = 4x - 2x
1 = 2x
x = 1/2
Its B 1 solution
Let

be the random variable for the weight of any given can, and let

and

be the mean and standard deviation, respectively, for the distribution of

.
You have

Recall that for any normal distribution, approximately 99.7% of it lies within three standard deviations of the mean, i.e.

. This means 0.3% must lie outside this range,

. Because the distribution is symmetric, it follows that

.
Also recall that for any normal distribution, about 95% of it falls within two standard deviations of the mean, so

, which means 5% falls outside, and by symmetry,

.
Together this means

Solving for the mean and standard deviation gives

and

.
X is greater than or equal to -200
Your first line calculation is already true but reversed. The demand will decrease (that mean the formula would be minus) by 20 gallons for every $0.4 price increase, which means 50 gallons/$. To find the formula you need to insert one sample of either the first equation (65gallon and $3.1) or 2nd equation (45 gallons and $3.5). The formula for demand should be:
q= C - 50p
65 gallon= C- 3.1 * 50
C= 65 gallon + 155 gallon= 220 gallon
The formula would be:
q= 220- 50p
So the second question can be solved by putting 0 on the Q. It would be:
q= 220- 50p
0=220-50p
50p=220
p= $4.4
