Consider the curve y=ln(3x-1).let p be the point on the curve where x=2.

A. Yes you are correct that the gradient at any point is 3/(3x-1). However at point P it would be 3/(3*2-1)=2/5
b. The gradient of the normal would therefore be -5/2
We can use the general formula of an equation to get y-ln(5)=-5/2 (x-2)
Now multiply both sides by 2 to get:
2y-2ln(5)=-5x+10
Now when it crosses the x axis we know that y=0 therefore:
5x=10+2ln(5)
Therefore:
x=2+2/5 ln(5) when y=0
You could find an estimate of this number to be 2.64 (3sf) but this might not be sufficient

Could you explain and answer the question?

So F(6) means 6 on the x axis then look to see where the graph is on the Y axis,

in this case on x 6 y=4

the amount of water in a bathtube as it drains can be modeled by this equation with y representing the number of gallons of wate

koban [17]

Since $y$ is representing the number of gallons of water in the tub, we need to replace $y$ with the number of gallons remaining in the tube to find the time. Fortunately, the problem is telling us just that: 17.8 gallons. The only thing left is replacing that value in the equation, and solve for $x$ to find the time:
$17.8=-7.3x+39.7$
$7.3x=21.9$
$x= \frac{21.9}{7.3}$
$x=3$

We can conclude that after 3 minutes <span>the tub will have 17.8 gallons of water remaining.</span>

What is the value of x

Nezavi [6.7K]

$\tan(16) = \frac{8.3}{x} \\$

$0.2867453858 = \frac{8.3}{x} \\$

Thus :

$x = \frac{8 .3}{0.2867453858} \\$

$x = 28.9455398797$

Thus :

$x = 28.9$
