Answer:

\displaystyle y= -\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{25}{4}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle of radius 5 centered at (0,0) is:

x^{2} + y^{2} = 5^{2}.

x^{2} + y^{2} = 25.

Differentiate implicitly with respect to x to find the slope of tangents to this circle.

\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[x^{2} + y^{2}] = \frac{d}{dx}[25]

\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(x^{2}) + \frac{d}{dx}(y^{2}) = 0.

Apply the power rule and the chain rule. Treat y as a function of x, f(x).

\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(x^{2}) + \frac{d}{dx}(f(x))^{2} = 0.

\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(2x) + \frac{d}{dx}(2f(x)\cdot f^{\prime}(x)) = 0.

That is:

\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(2x) + \frac{d}{dx}\left(2y \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}\right) = 0.

Solve this equation for \displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}:

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{x}{y}.

The slope of the tangent to this circle at point (3, 4) will thus equal

\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{3}{4}.

Apply the slope-point of a line in a cartesian plane:

y - y_0 = m(x - x_0), where

  • m is the gradient of this line, and
  • (x_0, y_0) are the coordinates of a point on that line.

For the tangent line in this question:

  • \displaystyle m = -\frac{3}{4},
  • (x_0, y_0) = (3, 4).

The equation of this tangent line will thus be:

\displaystyle y - 4 = -\frac{3}{4} (x - 3).

That simplifies to

\displaystyle y= -\frac{3}{4} x + \frac{25}{4}.

Mr . Jackson sold 3 computer monitors in the 1st year. In the 2nd year, he sold 4 times as many monitors as the 1st year. In the
tester [92]
So,

1st year: 3
2nd year: 4(first year), which is 12
3rd year: 6(first year), which is 18

The sum of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years is 3 + 12 + 18 = 33

Now, multiply 33 by the price at which Mr. Jackson sold each computer ($185).

We get $6105.  Mr. Jackson's gross profit was $6105.

Suppose that nine-digit Social security numbers are assigned at random. If you randomly select a number, what is the probability
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:  0.3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

The digits in number system = 10      ( 0 to 9)

The total different nine-digit Social security numbers  = 10^9  [By Fundamental counting principle]

=1,000,000,000   = 1 billion

Total people in united state = 300 million = 300, 000 ,000

Since each person In US have equal chance to get chosen.

Therefore , if a number is selected randomly  , then the probability that it belongs to one of the 300 million people in the United States :-

=\dfrac{300, 000 ,000}{1,000, 000 ,000}=0.3

Hence, the required probability is 0.3 .
