Mathematics

Levart [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Approximately

n = 21 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Original height of the tree = 4 1/2 feet

Final height of the tree = 40 feet

Common difference = 1 3/4 feet per year

The data shows the question is an arithmetic progression

Tn = a + (n-1) d

Tn = 40

a = 4 1/2

d = 1 3/4

n = ?

Tn = a + (n-1) d

40 = 4 1/2 + ( n - 1) 1 3/4

40 = 9/2 + (n - 1) 7/4

40 = 9/2 + 7/4n - 7/4

40 = 18-7/4 + 7/4n

40 = 11/4 + 7/4n

40 - 11/4 = 7/4n

160-11/4 = 7/4n

149/4 = 7/4n

Divide both sides by 7/4

n = 149/4 ÷ 7/4

= 149/4× 4/7

= 149/7

n = 21.29 years

Approximately

n = 21 years

If the tangent line to y = f(x) at (7, 4) passes through the point (0, 3), find f(7) and f '(7).
jarptica [38.1K]
Hello : 
f'(7) = the slope of the tangent line : let  A(7,4)    B(0,3)<span>
<span>the slope is :   (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)= (3-4)/(0-7) = -1/-7 = 1/7=f'(7)
the equation of the tangent line is :
y-3 = 1/7 (x-0)
 y = (1/7)x+3
the line tangent and the graph of : f </span></span><span>passes through the point A(7, 4)
x= 7 y=4 so : f(7) =4</span>
