If f(x) = 8x2 − x3, find f'(2) and use it to find an equation of the tangent line to the curve y = 8x2 − x3 at the point (2, 24)

Ymorist [56]

Take derivitive to find slope
$f'(x)=16x-3x^2$

at x=2
$f'(2)=16(2)-3(2)^2$
$f'(2)=32-3(4)$
$f'(2)=32-12$
$f'(2)=20$

so the slope of f(x) at the point (2,24) is 20

use point slope form
the equation of a line that passes through the point $(x_1,y_1)$ and has a slope of m is
$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$
we are given that the slope is 20 and the point is (2,24)

the equation is
$y-24=20(x-2)$
simplify into different form yourself if needed

A test is normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 10. Todd scores a 55 on the test. Select the answer

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Todd's Z-score is - 0.27

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

<u><em>Step(i)</em></u>:-

Given data A test is normally distributed with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 10.

<em>Mean of the population 'μ' = 70 </em>

<em>Standard deviation of the Population ' σ ' = 10</em>

<em>let 'x' be the random variable in normally distributed</em>

<u><em>Step(ii)</em></u>:-

<em>Given raw score 'x' = 55</em>

Todd's Z-score

$Z = \frac{x-mean}{S.D}$

$Z = \frac{55-70}{55}$

Z = -0.27

<u><em>Final answer</em></u>:-

<em>Todd's Z-score is - 0.27 </em>

At the local ball park, the team charges $5 for each ticket and expects to make $1,400 in concessions. The team must pay its pla

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The number of tickets must be sold is 2500

Step-by-step explanation:

The charge for each ticket = $ 5

The concessions amount = $ 1400

The amount paid to players = $ 2000

The amount paid to workers = $ 1600

The cost of each bag given to each fan = $ 3 per bag

Let The number of tickets sold = x

Now, number of ticket sold = number of fans = x

So, According to question

( charge per ticket × number of fans - cost of each bag × number of fan - concession amount ) = amount paid to players + amount paid to workers

Or, $5 x - $3 x - $1400 = $2000 + $1600

Or, $2 x = $3600 + $1400

Or, $2 x = $5000

∴ x = $\frac{5000}{2}$ = 2500

Hence Answer

The temperature for the past 8 hours has been changing at the rate of-1.5 degrees each hour. The meteorologist predicts that the

Nuetrik [128]

A. 7 hours ago the temperature was 7 * 1,5 = 10,5 degrees more, so if now it's 0, then it was 10,5 degrees 7 hours ago.

b. in six hours it will be 6 * 1,5 = 9 degrees less, so if it's 0 now, then it will be -9 degrees in 6 hours.

c. the temperature was reading 6 degrees 4 hours ago because:

x * 1.5 = 6 / ÷1.5 (both sides)
x = 4

d. -8 is expected to be in 5 hours and 15 minutes because:

x * 1.5 = 8 / ÷1.5 (both sides)
x = 5 1/3
