Find an equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola y = 3/x at the point (3, 1).
1 answer:
Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation. We already have an x and y value. The derivative is found this way: 
so 
. The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation. Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is: 
. So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3. Use these values to solve for b. 
so b = 2. The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Your study variable is X: "number of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use, in a sample of 390"
X~Bi (n;ρ)
ρ: population proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use. ρ = 0.95
n= 390
x= 303
sample proportion ^ρ: x/n = 303/390 = 0.776 ≅ 0.78
Applying the Central Limit Theorem you approximate the distribution of the sample proportion to normal to obtain the statistic to use.
You are asked to estimate the population proportion of televisions that didn't require repairs with a confidence interval, the formula is:
^ρ±* √[(^ρ(1-^ρ))/n]
=
= 2.58
0.78±2.58* √[(0.78(1-0.78))/390]
0.0541
[0.726;0.834]
With a confidence level of 99% you'd expect that the interval [0.726;0.834] contains the true value of the proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use.
I hope it helps!
