<h2>Part 1.</h2>

Answer: \boxed{f'(x)=3x^2-8x}

The limit of the difference quotient is simply the derivative, so we can express this as follows:

f'(x)=\underset{\Delta x\rightarrow0}{lim}\frac{\triangle y}{\Delta x}=\frac{f(x+\Delta x)-f(x)}{\Delta x}

So our function is:

f(x)=x^3-4x^2+2

Taking the derivative, we have:

f'(x)=3x^2-8x

So the correct option is:

\boxed{f'(x)=3x^2-8x}

<h2>Part 2.</h2>

Answer: \boxed{y=3x-16}

The equation of the line that passes through the same point can be found as:

y-y_{0}=m(x-x_{0})

Where x_{0}=3, so we need to find y_{0}. Plug in that x-value in the function we have:

y_{0}=f(3)=(3)^3-4(3)^2+2 \\ \\ y_{0}=-7 \\ \\ \\ So \ the \ point \ is: \\ \\ P(x_{0},y_{0})=(3,-7)

And the slope is:

m=f'(3)=3(3)^2-8(3) \\ \\ m=3

Then, the equation of the line is:

y-(-7)=3(x-3) \\ \\ \therefore y+7=3x-9 \\ \\ \boxed{y=3x-16}

<h2 /><h2>Part 3.</h2>

Answer: Shown below

As you can see below, the graph of the function of f is continuous. This is so because we have plotted a polynomial function whose domain is the set of all real numbers. So the function is defined at the point P(3,-7), so the derivative exists at this point, hence we can calculate a tangent line there. In conclusion, we get the graph shown below. The blue line is the tangent line while the red curve is the graph of f

My brain small so could you plz anwser his 6/11+ 2/ 3
Lena [83]

Answer:

1 7/33

Step-by-step explanation:

6/11 + 2/3 --> We need a common denominator

--> 11 x 3 = 33

33 is our common denominator

6 x 3 = 18

2 x 11 = 22

18/33 + 22/33 = 40/33

Convert to a mixed number

=> 1 7/33

Thus, we have our answer.

A researcher wishes to​ estimate, with 9090​% ​confidence, the proportion of adults who have​ high-speed Internet access. Her es
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:  a) Required minimum sample size= 219

b) Required minimum sample size= 271

Step-by-step explanation:

As per given , we have

Margin of error : E= 5% =0.05

Critical z-value for 90% confidence interval : z_{\alpha/2}=1.645

a) Prior estimate of true proportion: p=28%=0.28

Formula to find the sample size :-

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.28(1-0.28)(\dfrac{1.645}{0.05})^2\\\\=218.213856\approx219

Required minimum sample size= 219

b) If no estimate of true proportion is given , then we assume p= 0.5

Formula to find the sample size :-

n=0.5(1-0.5)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2\\\\=0.25(\dfrac{1.645}{0.05})^2\\\\=270.6025\approx271

Required minimum sample size= 271

Crank

Answer:

x > 73

Step-by-step explanation:

x+7 > 80

subtract 7 from both sides

x + 7 - 7 > 80 - 7

x > 73
