Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope refers to the steepness of the line.

Slope is equal to change in value of y divided by change in value of x.

The slope of the secant line is given by \frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}.

Given points are P\left ( 5,-4 \right )\,,\,Q\left ( x,\frac{4}{4-x} \right )

So, slope of the secant line is \frac{\frac{4}{4-x}+4}{x-5}=\frac{4+4(4-x)}{(x-5)(4-x)}=\frac{20-4x}{(x-5)(4-x)}=\frac{-4(x-5)}{(x-5)(4-x)}=\frac{-4}{4-x}=\frac{4}{x-4}

(i) At x = 4.9,

\frac{4}{4.9-4}=\frac{4}{0.9}=4.444444

(ii) At x = 4.99,

\frac{4}{4.99-4}=\frac{4}{0.99}=4.040404

(iii) At x = 4.999,

\frac{4}{4.999-4}=\frac{4}{0.999}=4.004004

(iv) At x = 4.9999,

\frac{4}{4.9999-4}=\frac{4}{0.9999}=4.0004

(v) At x =5.1,

\frac{4}{5.1-4}=\frac{4}{1.1}=3.636364

(vi)

At x = 5.01,

\frac{4}{5.01-4}=\frac{4}{1.01}=3.960396

(vii) At x = 5.001,

\frac{4}{5.001-4}=\frac{4}{1.001}=3.996004

(viii) At x = 5.0001,

\frac{4}{5.0001-4}=\frac{4}{1.0001}=3.9996

(b)

Slope of the tangent line is 4.

A spherical hot-air balloon has a diameter of 55 feet. When the balloon is inflated, the radius increases at a rate of 1.5 feet
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The time it would take to inflate the balloon to approximately two-thirds of its maximum volume is approximately 46.90 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The diameter of  the balloon  = 55 feet

The rate of increase of the radius of the balloon when inflated = 1.5 feet per minute

We have;

dr/dt = 1.5 feet per minute = 1.5 ft/min

V = 4/3·π·r³

The maximum volume of the balloon = 4/3 × 3.14 × 55³ = 696556.67 ft³

When the volume is two-thirds the maximum volume, we have;

2/3 × 696556.67 ft³ = 464371.11 ft³

The value of the radius, r₂ at that point is found as follows;

4/3·π·r₂³ = 464371.11 ft³

r₂³ = 464371.11 ft³ × 3/4 = 348278.33 ft³

348278.333333

r₂ = ∛(348278.33 ft³) ≈ 70.36 ft

The time for the radius to increase to the above length = Length/(Rate of increase of length of the radius)

The time for the radius to increase to the above length ≈ 70.369 ft/(1.5 ft/min) ≈ 46.90 minutes

The time it would take to inflate the balloon to approximately two-thirds of its maximum volume ≈ 46.90 minutes.
