Answer:

a=-6

b=-\frac{31}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation of the curve:

y=2x^{3}+bx-5 (1)

And the equation of the line that is normal (perpendicular to that curve) in the point (x,y)=(1,2):

y=\frac{a}{5}x+\frac{16}{5} (2)

Note this equation has the form y=mx+B, where m=\frac{a}{5} is the slope of the line that es normal to the curve and B=\frac{16}{5} the intersection of that line with the y-axis.

Well, let’s begin by finding the slope of the line that is tangent to the curve by differentiating the equation (1):

\frac{dy}{dx}=6x^{2}+b (3)

Then, we have to evaluate that when x=1 (remember we are given the point (1,2)):

\frac{dy}{dx}_{x=1}=6(1)^{2}+b=6+b (4) This is the slope of the line that is tangent to the curve

And the slope of the line that is perpendicular to that tangent line is its negative reciprocal. Hence:

m=-\frac{1}{6+b} (5) This is the slope of the line normal to the curve

Then:  

m=\frac{a}{5}=-\frac{1}{6+b}

a=\-frac{5}{6+b} (6)

Rewritting (2):

y=-\frac{5}{5(6+b)}x+\frac{16}{5} (7)

Evaluating in the point (1,2):

2=-\frac{5}{5(6+b)}1+\frac{16}{5} (8)

Finding b:

b=-\frac{31}{6} (9) This is the value of b

Substituting (9) in (6):

a=\-frac{5}{6-\frac{31}{6}} (10)

a=\-frac{31}{6} (11) This is the value of a

4(x² - 2) = 28

1. Distribute the 4
4x² - 8 = -28

2. Plug in 3 and -3
4(3)² - 8 = 28
4(-3)² - 8 = 28

3. Square 3 and -3
4(9) - 8 = 28
4(9) - 8 = 28

28 = 28

The reason both answers are the same is because whenever you put a negative number to an even power, the result becomes positive because any negative multiplied by a negative number is always positive.
28 = 28

A roof repairer works out that he will need to work with a colleage charges $20 per hour. In the end, they took 6 hours to fix t
ser-zykov [4K]

a) 20(x)=y

b) $120

Let x= number of hours

Let y= Cost of labor

20 will remain constant, what matters is how many hours are being worked. If it's $20 per hour then it's safe to assume 1 hour is 20 dollars worth of labor. Due to it being per hour you have to multiply the rate by however many hours worked to get your final cost.
