For which value of c is the line y=3x+c a tangent to the parabola with equation y=x^2-5x+7
1 answer:
To give you a context on the problem, a tangent line is a line that intersects the parabola only at one single point. A parabola is a curve that forms an arc-shaped figure. A tangent line to a parabola is shown in the attached picture.
Now, we apply the concepts in calculus and analytical geometry. The first derivative of the equation is equal to the slope at the point of intersection. This slope must be equal to the slope of the tangent line.
y = x² - 5x + 7
dy/dx = slope = 2x -5
Since tangent lines must have the same slope with what they intersect with, we can determine the slope from the equation: y = 3x + c. This is already arranged in a slope-intercept form, where 3 is the slope and c is the y-intercept. So, we can equate the equation above to 3.
2x - 5 = 3
x = 4
Now, we substitute x=4 to the original equation of the parabola:
y = (4)² - 5(4) + 7
y = 3
Therefore, the point of intersection is at (4,3). Now, we use it to the equation of the tangent line to find c.
y = 3x + c
3 = 3(4) + c
c = -9
Now, we apply the concepts in calculus and analytical geometry. The first derivative of the equation is equal to the slope at the point of intersection. This slope must be equal to the slope of the tangent line.
y = x² - 5x + 7
dy/dx = slope = 2x -5
Since tangent lines must have the same slope with what they intersect with, we can determine the slope from the equation: y = 3x + c. This is already arranged in a slope-intercept form, where 3 is the slope and c is the y-intercept. So, we can equate the equation above to 3.
2x - 5 = 3
x = 4
Now, we substitute x=4 to the original equation of the parabola:
y = (4)² - 5(4) + 7
y = 3
Therefore, the point of intersection is at (4,3). Now, we use it to the equation of the tangent line to find c.
y = 3x + c
3 = 3(4) + c
c = -9

Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The objective of this experiment is to test if two different foam-expanding agents have the same foam expansion capacity
Sample 1 (aqueous film forming foam)
n₁= 5
X[bar]₁= 4.7
S₁= 0.6
Sample 2 (alcohol-type concentrates )
n₂= 5
X[bar]₂= 6.8
S₂= 0.8
Both variables have a normal distribution and σ₁²= σ₂²= σ²= ?
The statistic to use to make the estimation and the hypothesis test is the t-statistic for independent samples.:
t=
a) 95% CI
(X[bar]_1 - X[bar]_2) ± *
Sa²= =
= 0.5
Sa= 0.707ç
(4.7-6.9) ± 2.306*
[-4.78; 0.38]
With a 95% confidence level you expect that the interval [-4.78; 0.38] will contain the population mean of the expansion capacity of both agents.
b.
The hypothesis is:
H₀: μ₁ - μ₂= 0
H₁: μ₁ - μ₂≠ 0
α: 0.05
The interval contains the cero, so the decision is to reject the null hypothesis.
<u>Complete question</u>
a. Find a 95% confidence interval on the difference in mean foam expansion of these two agents.
b. Based on the confidence interval, is there evidence to support the claim that there is no difference in mean foam expansion of these two agents?
