Find the point on the curve y = √ x where the tangent line is parallel to the line y = x 8 .

If tangent to the curve y = √x  is parallel to the line  y = 8x,  then this implies that the tangent to  y = <span>√x  has the same slope as the line  y = 8x. In other words, the derivative (slope) function of  y = √x  is equal to the slope of the line  y = 8x, which is m = 8.  Hence y' = 8  once we find  y'

y =  </span><span>√x = x^(1/2)

Applying the power rule and simplifying, we find that the derivative is

y' = 1/(2</span>√x)

Now remember that  y'  must equal 8

1/(2<span>√x) = 8

Multiplying both sides by  2</span><span>√x,  we obtain

1 = 16</span><span>√x

Dividing both sides by  16,  yields

</span><span>√x = 1/16

But wait a minute, √x = y.  Thus  1/16  must be the y-coordinate of the point at which the tangent to  y = √x  is drawn.

Squaring both sides, yields

x = 1/256 

This is the x-coordinate of the point on the curve where the tangent is drawn.

</span><span>∴ the required point must be  (1/256, 1/16)

GOOD LUCK!!!</span>

The triangle on the grid will be translated two units left. which shows the triangle translated 2 units left
Mariana [72]

Answer:

Take the coordinates of each vertex (corner point) and subtract 2 from the x-coordinate; leave the y-coordinate alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: If one vertex is the point (5, 3), then it moves left 2 units to (3, 3).

If a vertex is at (-3, 1), then it moves 2 units left to (-5, 1).
