An equation of the line tangent to y=sin x + 2cosx at (pi/2, 1) is?

Mathematics

Answer:

B.   2x + y = pi + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = sin x + 2 cos x

The slope of a line tangent is the derivative, so:

y' =  cos x - 2 sin x

At  (pi/2, 1) , substituting for x:-

cos pi/2 - 2 sin pi/2

= 0 - 2 * 1 = -2.

So the slope is - 2 and an equation  can be found by using the point-slope formula:

y - y1 = m(x - x1) so:

y - 1 = -2(x - pi/2)

y = -2x + pi + 1  

2x + y = pi + 1.

The final cost of a sale item is determined by multiplying the price on the tag by 75%. Which best describes the function that r
scoundrel [369]

First we try to frame the equation between the sale price and the final cost.

Let us consider, the price to be x and the final cost to be y, since the final cost is 75% of the price, we have the below equation

y = 0.75x

This is of the form of straight line equation y = mx +c where c =0 and m = 0.75

This means the function is linear since it satisfies a straight line equation.

So, we can eliminate options (3) and (4)

Now, the function is not a continuous one because the function is has definite value which is 0.75x and this make the function discrete. Hence option (2) is eliminated

Therefore we are left with option (1) which is the answer

Answer is (1) It is linear because the ratio of the change in the final cost compared to the rate of change in the price tag is constant

The cost to rent a rug-cleaning machine from the supermarket is $23 per day. The supermarket charges a check-out fee of $45 for
igomit [66]

Answer:

23d + 45 = 137

Explanation:

Since it is $23 per day, that dollar amount must be associated with a variable that multiples it per day that it is rented. Finally, you need to add the one time $45. This equation can then be used to find how many days it was rented for.

23d + 45 = 137

23d = 92 (Subtract 45 from both sides)

d = 4 (Divide by 23 on both sides)

The rug-cleaning machine was rented for 4 days. You found this using the equation: 23d + 45 = 137
