Answer:

Equation of tangent:

y = xe^{x}

At point (1,0):

y = 2.713

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of tangent line to the function can be calculated by taking the first derivative.

We have,

y = xe^{x}-e^{x}\\\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[ xe^{x} ]-\frac{d}{dx} [e^{x}]\\

Applying Product Rule:

d/dx [u.v] = (d/dx u) . (v) + (u) . (d/dx v)

Therefore,

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}(x) . e^{x}+x .\frac{d}{dx}(e^{x})- \frac{d}{dx}(e^{x})\\\\\frac{dy}{dx}=(1)(e^{x})+(x)(e^{x})-e^{x}\\ \frac{dy}{dx}=xe^{x}\\\\

The above equation is the equation of tangent line.

The point given is (1,0):

So,

\frac{dy}{dx} = (1)e^{1}\\ \frac{dy}{dx} = e\\\frac{dy}{dx} = 2.713

In Exercises 3 and 4, find the values of x and y <br> plz help!!!
jonny [76]

Answer:

x = 20°

y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle given on close inspection, it is an equilateral triangle.

Each angle in an equilateral triangle is equal. Likewise, each side is equal.

Thus;

16 + y = 46

y = 46 - 16

y = 30

The triangle that has angle 80°, the other complete angle is 60° because it's an angle of an equilateral triangle.

Thus, the smaller angle there is;

180 - (80 + 60) = 40°

Because sum of angles in a triangle is 180°

Now, x + 40 = 60°

Since that's also an angle of an equilateral triangle.

x = 60 - 40

x = 20°

-8x - 11x<br> I really need help
Tema [17]

Answer: -19x

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to simplify the expression.

The two parts of this expression, -8x and 11x are called terms. The numbers in front of the variables are called coefficients.

Because the variables, x and x are identical, the terms get a special name and they're called like terms.

To subtract like terms, we simply subtract their coefficients and add the variable on to the difference of the two numbers.

Since -8 (-11) is -19, -8x - 11x simplifies to -19x.

Tony has a jar that contains 16 red, 8 blue, 7 black, and 1 yellow marble. What is the theoretical probability of selecting a bl
suter [353]

Answer:

\frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of blue marbles = 8

Total number of marbles = 16+8+7+1=32

probability\: of \:selecting\: a\: blue\; marble\\=\frac{Number\: of\:blue\: marbles}{Total\: number\: of\: marbles} \\\\=\frac{8}{32} \\\\=\frac{1}{4}
