Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an equation of curve

x^{\frac{2}{3}}+y^{\frac{2}{3}}=4

We have to find the equation of tangent line to the given curve at point (-3\sqrt3,1)

By using implicit differentiation, differentiate w.r.t x

\frac{2}{3}x^{-\frac{1}{3}}+\frac{2}{3}y^{-\frac{1}{3}}\frac{dy}{dx}=0

Using formula :\frac{dx^n}{dx}=nx^{n-1}

\frac{2}{3}y^{-\frac{1}{3}}\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{2}{3}x^{-\frac{1}{3}}

\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-\frac{2}{3}x^{-\frac{1}{3}}}{\frac{2}{3}y^{-\frac{1}{3}}}

\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{x^{-\frac{1}{3}}}{y^{-\frac{1}{3}}}

Substitute the value x=-3\sqrt3,y=1

Then, we get

\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{(-3\sqrt3)^{-\frac{1}{3}}}{1}

\frac{dy}{dx}=-(-3^{\frac{3}{2}})^{-\frac{1}{3}}=-\frac{1}{-(3)^{\frac{3}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}

Slope of tangent=m=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}

Equation of tangent line with slope m and passing through the point (x_1,y_1) is given by

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substitute the values then we get

The equation of tangent line is given by

y-1=\frac{1}{\sqrt3}(x+3\sqrt3)

y-1=\frac{x}{\sqrt3}+3

y=\frac{x}{\sqrt3}+3+1

y=\frac{x}{\sqrt3}+4

This is required equation of tangent line to the given curve at given point.

Make a scatter plot of the data. Then find an equation of the quadratic function that models the data.
nika2105 [10]

The equation of the quadratic function that models the data is y = x^2 + 3x + 4

<h3>How to determine the scatter plot?</h3>

A quadratic function is represented as:

y = ax^2  +bx + c

Next, we enter the data values on the table to a graphing calculator.

From the graphing calculator, we have:

a = 1, b = 3 and c = 4

Substitute these values in y = ax^2  +bx + c

So, we have

y  = x^2 + 3x + 4

Hence, the equation of the quadratic function that models the data is y = x^2 + 3x + 4 and the scatter plot is (a)

The world’s population is expected to grow at a rate of 1.3% per year until at least the year 2020. In 1994 the total population
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Therefore, the the world's predicted population in the year 2020 is 7,911×10^6 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  

P₀ = 5,642×10^6 people,  

i = 1.3% = 0.013 per year,  

n = 2020 - 1994 = 26 years,  

We get:  

Pn = P₀ e^(i.n)  

. . .= 5,642×10^6×e^(0.013×26)  

. . .= 7,911×10^6 people
