The data from the U.S. Census Bureau for 1982−2003 shows that the surface area of the United States that is covered by rural lan

d can be modeled by the function R(x) = 0.003x3 − 0.086x2 − 1.2x + 1,417.4 where x is the number of years after 1982 and R(x) is the surface area in millions of acres. The total surface area of the United States can be modeled by the function T(x) = 0.0023x3 + 0.034x2 − 5.9x + 1,839.4 where x is the number of years after 1982 and T(x) is the surface area in millions of acres.

If we plug in 0 for x, we can receive the data for the year 1982. Doing so shows us that the Rural area was 1,417.4 million acres and the total area was 1,839.4 million acres. Therefore, we can conclude that the majority of the area of the United States was rural in 1982.

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

4 ( m⁶ - 4p¹⁰ )

Step-by-step explanation:

4m⁶ = 4 * m⁶

16p¹⁰= 4 * 4 *  p¹⁰

Common factor = 4

4m⁶ - 16p¹⁰ = 4 ( m⁶ - 4p¹⁰ )

Use implicit differentiation to find the points where the parabola defined by x2−2xy+y2+4x−8y+20=0 has horizontal and vertical t
Komok [63]

Answer:

The parabola has a horizontal tangent line at the point (2,4)

The parabola has a vertical tangent line at the point (1,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ir order to perform the implicit differentiation, you have to differentiate with respect to x. Then, you have to use the conditions for horizontal and vertical tangent lines.

-To obtain horizontal tangent lines, the condition is:

\frac{dy}{dx}=0 (The slope is zero)

--To obtain vertical tangent lines, the condition is:

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{0} (The slope is undefined, therefore the denominator is set to zero)

Derivating respect to x:

\frac{d(x^{2}-2xy+y^{2}+4x-8y+20)}{dx} = \frac{d(x^{2})}{dx}-2\frac{d(xy)}{dx}+\frac{d(y^{2})}{dx}+4\frac{dx}{dx}-8\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{d(20)}{dx}=2x -2(y+x\frac{dy}{dx})+2y\frac{dy}{dx}+4-8\frac{dy}{dx}= 0

Solving for dy/dx:

\frac{dy}{dx}(-2x+2y-8)=-2x+2y-4\\\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2y-2x-4}{2y-2x-8}

Applying the first conditon (slope is zero)

\frac{2y-2x-4}{2y-2x-8}=0\\2y-2x-4=0

Solving for y (Adding 2x+4, dividing by 2)

y=x+2 (I)

Replacing (I) in the given equation:

x^{2}-2x(x+2)+(x+2)^{2}+4x-8(x+2)+20=0\\x^{2}-2x^{2}-4x+x^{2} +4x+4+4x-8x-16+20=0\\-4x+8=0\\x=2

Replacing it in (I)

y=(2)+2

y=4

Therefore, the parabola has a horizontal tangent line at the point (2,4)

Applying the second condition (slope is undefined where denominator is zero)

2y-2x-8=0

Adding 2x+8 both sides and dividing by 2:

y=x+4(II)

Replacing (II) in the given equation:

x^{2}-2x(x+4)+(x+4)^{2}+4x-8(x+4)+20=0\\x^{2}-2x^{2}-8x+x^{2}+8x+16+4x-8x-32+20=0\\-4x+4=0\\x=1

Replacing it in (II)

y=1+4

y=5

The parabola has vertical tangent lines at the point (1,5)
