3% of 15,000 is 450 3600 divided by 450 is 8 so 3% per year wait 8 years until interest reaches 3600

To find the equation of a line, we need the slope of the line and a point on the line. Since we are requested to find the equati

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

$m = \frac{1}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x,y) = (36,6)$

$f(x) = \sqrt x$ ----- the equation of the curve

Required

The slope of f(x)

The slope (m) is calculated using:

$m = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(a + h) - f(a)}{h}$

$(x,y) = (36,6)$ implies that:

$a = 36; f(a) = 6$

So, we have:

$m = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(a + h) - f(a)}{h}$

$m = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(36 + h) - 6}{h}$

If $f(x) = \sqrt x$ ; then:

$f(36 + h) = \sqrt{36 + h}$

So, we have:

$m = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{\sqrt{36 + h} - 6}{h}$

Multiply by: $\sqrt{36 + h} + 6$

$m = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(\sqrt{36 + h} - 6)(\sqrt{36 + h} + 6)}{h(\sqrt{36 + h} + 6)}$

Expand the numerator

$m = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{36 + h - 36}{h(\sqrt{36 + h} + 6)}$

Collect like terms

$m = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{36 - 36+ h }{h(\sqrt{36 + h} + 6)}$

$m = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{h }{h(\sqrt{36 + h} + 6)}$

Cancel out h

$m = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{1}{\sqrt{36 + h} + 6}$

$h \to 0$ implies that we substitute 0 for h;

So, we have:

$m = \frac{1}{\sqrt{36 + 0} + 6}$

$m = \frac{1}{\sqrt{36} + 6}$

$m = \frac{1}{6 + 6}$

$m = \frac{1}{12}$

<em>Hence, the slope is 1/12</em>

Answer:

At the 3rd day 160 students caught flu.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided model P = − t ² + 13t + 130 where 1 ≤ t ≤ 6

The total number of students is represents by P.

We need to find the day that 160 students had the flu.

Substitute the value of P=160 in above formula.

$160 = -t^2 + 13t + 130$

$160+t^2 - 13t - 130=0$

$t^2 - 13t +30=0$

$t^2 - 10t-3t +30=0$

$t(t-10)-3(t-10)=0$

$(t-10)(t-3)=0$

Hence the value of t=10 or t=3

But it is given that 1 ≤ t ≤ 6, Therefore select t=3

Hence, at the 3rd day 160 students caught flu.
