For f(x)=x^5-x^3 x what is the equation of the tangent line at x=3?

F(x) = x^5 - x^3 + x
f'(x) = 5x^4 - 3x^2 + 1
f(3) = (3)^5 - (3)^3 + 3 = 243 - 27 + 3 = 219
f'(3) = 5(3)^4 - 3(3)^2 + 1 = 5(81) - 3(9) + 1 = 405 - 27 + 1 = 379

Let the required equation of the tangent line be
y = mx + c; where y = 219, m = 379, x = 3
219 = 379(3) + c = 1,137
c = 219 - 1,137 = -918

Therefore, required equation is
y = 379x - 918

An internet start-up predicts its revenue by a straight-line method with a slope of $7000 per month. In its 6 th month it had re

Margarita [4]

Given that the method of revenue calculation is straight line method, the equation modeling this will be given by:
y=mx+c
where:
m=slope
x=time
c=initial value.
from our question:
slope,m=$7000
time=T
y(x)=R(t)
hence the formula after the sixth month will be:
R(t)=7000T+45000

Answer:

The 90th percentile for the distribution of the total contributions is $6,342,525.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
