In the given question, there are two vital information's give. Firstly 8 ears of corn and 1 cantaloupe cost $2.37. On the other hand 6 ears of corn and 3 cantaloupes cost $3.51.
Let us assume the cost of 1 corn = X
Let us assume the cost of 1 cantaloupe = Y
Then
8X + Y = 2.37
Y = 2.37 - 8X
And
6X + 3Y = 3.51
Now we replace the value of Y we found from the first equation
Then
6X + 3(2.37 - 8X) = 3.51
6X - 24X + 7.11 = 3.51
-18X = 3.51 - 7.11
-18X = -3.6
X = 3.6/18
   = 0.20
So $0.20 is the value of 1 corn. Then the value of a cantaloupe
Y = 2.37 - 8X
   = 2.37 - (8 * 0.20)
   = 2.37 - 1.6
   = 0.77
So cost of a cantaloupe is $0.77

The point-slope form of the equation for a line can be written as

... y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . . . for a line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your function gives

... f'(h) = m

... f(h) = k

a) The tangent line is then

... y = 5(x -2) +3

b) The normal line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of that of the tangent line.

... y = (-1/5)(x -2) +3

_____

You asked for "an equation." That's what is provided above. Each can be rearranged to whatever form you like.

In standard form, the tangent line's equation is 5x -y = 7. The normal line's equation is x +5y = 17.

Use the digits 2, 3, and 5 to create a fraction and a whole number with a product greater than 2
kupik [55]
The fractions which cannbe formed are: 2/3, 3/2, 2/5, 5/2, 3/5 and 5/3.
Now, we find the products with the third number:
2/3*5= 10/3 = 3.33 > 2
3/2*5 = 15 >2= 7.5 > 2
2/5*3= 6/5 (rejected)
5/2*3 = 15/2 > 2
3/5*2= 6/5 (rejected)
5/3*2 = 15/2 = 7.5> 2
