Answer:

slope = - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Differentiating implicitly with respect to x

2x + 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 0

2y \frac{dy}{dx} = - 2x

\frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{2x}{2y} = - \frac{x}{y}

\frac{dy}{dx} is the measure of the slope of the tangent

rearrange equation to find corresponding y-coordinate of x = - 2

y² = 16 - 4 = 12 = 2\sqrt{3} ⇒ y = ± 2\sqrt{3}

using x = - 2, y = - 2\sqrt{3}, then

\frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } = - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

5/2, 2.6, 1 + sqrt(3), sqrt(8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a calculator:

sqrt(8) = 2.83

5/2 = 2.5

2.6 = 2.6

1 + sqrt(3) = 2.73

Answer:

5/2, 2.6, 1 + sqrt(3), sqrt(8)

Find an equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola y = 3/x at the point (3, 1).
Vesna [10]
Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation.  We already have an x and y value.  The derivative is found this way:  y'= \frac{x(0)-3(1)}{x^2} so  y'=- \frac{3}{x^2}.  The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation.  Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is: y'=- \frac{3}{3^2}=- \frac{3}{9}=- \frac{1}{3}.  So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3.  Use these values to solve for b.  1=- \frac{1}{3}(3)+b  so b = 2.  The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is y=- \frac{1}{3}x+2
