Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of

Mathematics

Answer:

y + 4 = -3 (x - 5)

In other words,

y = -3 x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the tangent line to y = g(x) at x = 5 is the same as the value of g'(x). g'(5) = 3. Therefore, 3 will be the slope of the tangent line.

The tangent line goes through the point of tangency (5, g(5)). g(5) = -4. Therefore, the tangent line passes through the point (5, -4).

Apply the slope-point form of the line. The equation for a line with slope <em>m</em> that goes through point (a, b) will be y - b = m(x - a). For the tangent line in this question,

  • m = 3,
  • a = 5, and
  • b = -4.

What will be the equation of this line?

Answer:   y = 3x - 19

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

            y = g(x)

                 g(5) = -4  

⇒        y =           -4       <em>when x = 5</em>     ⇒    (5, -4)  


g'(5) = 3     means that when x = 5, the tangent slope (m) = 3

  • <em>because the first derivative gives the tangent slope</em>

Use the Point-Slope formula to find the equation of the line that passes through the point (5, -4) with slope (m) of 3:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y -(-4) = 3(x - 5)

y + 4 = 3x - 15

y       = 3x - 19

Superman needs to save Lois from the clutches of Lex Luthor. After flying for 6 seconds, he is 2430 meters from her. Then at 12
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

2700.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance would be 2700.

Distance traveled between in 6th second and 12th second is 2430-2160=270 meter. That means Superman covered 270 meter in 6 seconds.

So, now if he is moving at the same speed, he should cover the same distance in first 6 seconds which is 270 meter.

Suppose the whole distance is X when time is 0, and after flying for 6 seconds he now is 2430 meter away. It means that he must have covered the distance of X-2430=270.

Finding for X, we gets the full initial distance, when time was 0.

The simple trick is, once we get the distance he has covered in 6 seconds, we can form the equation like subtracting the whole distance- remaining distance equals to covered distance.

In the diagram A, B, and C are the points on the circle. Use the diagram to prove the theorem which states that:
nevsk [136]

9514 1404 393

Explanation:

Here's one way to go at it.

Draw segments AB and CO. Define angles as follows. (The triangles with sides that are radii are all isosceles, so their base angles are congruent.)

  x = angle OAB = angle OBA

  y = angle OAC = angle OCA

  z = angle OBC = angle OCB

Consider the angles at each of the points A, B, C.

At A, we have ...

  angle CAB = x + y

At B, we have ...

  angle CBA = x + z

At C, we have ...

  angle ACB = y + z

The sum of the angles of triangle ABC is 180°, as is the sum of angles in triangle ABO. This gives ...

  x + x + ∠AOB = (x+y) +(x+z) +(y+z)

  ∠AOB = 2(y+z) = 2∠ACB

This shows ∠AOB = 2×∠C, as required.
