The correct way to solve this equation would be:
7=5+3(x-4)
Distribute the Brackets.
3*x=3x
3*4=12
7=5+3x-12
Add like terms.
7=-7+3x
Add 7 to both sides.
(7)+7=(-7+3x)+7
14=3x
Divide both sides by 3.
(14)/3=(3x)/3
4.6667 or 14/3 =x

Both answers are incorrect.
Some the significant mistakes:
-Didn't follow BEDMAS
-How did 7=8(x-4) turn into 78=x-4?

Hope this helps.

Answer:

$x-4y+4=0$

$f(x)=\sqrt x$ and x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a curve

$y=\sqrt x$

We have to find the equation of tangent at point (4,2) on the given curve.

Let y=f(x)

Differentiate w.r.t x

$f'(x)=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt x}$

By using the formula $\frac{d(\sqrt x)}{dx}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt x}$

Substitute x=4

Slope of tangent

$m=f'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt 4}=\frac{1}{2\times 2}=\frac{1}{4}$

In given question

$m=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}$

$\frac{1}{4}=\lim_{x\rightarrow 4}\frac{f(x)-f(4)}{x-4}$

By comparing we get a=4

Point-slope form

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Using the formula

The equation of tangent at point (4,2)

$y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x-4)$

$4y-8=x-4$

$x-4y-4+8=0$

$x-4y+4=0$

Total consumption of fruit juice in a particular country in 2006 was about 1.85 billion gallons. The population of that country

Eduardwww [97]

Given :

Population of country in 2006 , P = 300 million.

Consumption of fruit juice in 2006 by while population, C = 1.85 billion.

To Find :

The average number of gallons of fruit juice consumed per person in the country in 2006.

Solution :

We know, 1 billion = 1000 million.

C = 1.85 billion = 1850 million.

Now, average umber of gallons of fruit juice consumed per person in the country in 2006 is :

$c =\dfrac{C}{P}\\\\c=\dfrac{1850}{300}\ gallons/person\\\\c=6.17 \ gallons/person$

Hence, this is the required solution.
