Find the Horizontal Tangent for x^3/3+3x^2-16x+9

Mathematics

Answer:

The two horiz. tang. lines here are y = -3 and y = 192.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the slope of a tangent line to the graph of a function is given by the derivative of that function.  Thus, we find f '(x):

f '(x) = x^2 + 6x - 16.  This is the formula for the slope.  We set this = to 0 and determine for which x values the tangent line is horizontal:

f '(x) = x^2 + 6x - 16 = 0.  Use the quadratic formula to determine the roots here:  a = 1; b = 6 and c = -16:  the discriminant is b^2-4ac, or 36-4(1)(-16), which has the value 100; thus, the roots are:

      -6 plus or minus √100

x = ----------------------------------- = 2 and -8.

                         2

Evaluating y = x^3/3+3x^2-16x+9 at x = 2 results in y = -3.  So one point of tangency is (2, -3).  Remembering that the tangent lines in this problem are horizontal, we need only the y-coefficient of (2, -3) to represent this first tangent line:  it is y = -3.

Similarly, find the y-coeff. of the other tangent line, which is tangent to the curve at x = -8.  The value of x^3/3+3x^2-16x+9 at x = -8 is  192, and so the equation of the 2nd tangent line is y=192 (the slope is zero).

9. Which of the following do you need to know to determine the surface area and volume of a sphere?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

A: radius of the sphere

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for surface area is A = 4πr^2

With r being the radius and A the surface area.

For volume it is

V= (4/3)πr^3

Problem PageQuestion It takes an older pump twice as long to drain a certain pool as it does a newer pump. Working together, it
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

It will take 6 hours for the new pump to drain the pool.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the complete question is not given, the complete question is found online and is attached herewith

Let the rate of new pump is given as x=W/t_1

Let the rate of the old pump is given as y=W/t_2

it is given that the time t_2=2t_1

So by substituting the values of t_2 in the rate equation of y

y=W/2t_1

y=(W/t_1*2)=x/2

Also the total rate of both the pumps is given as W/t3 where t3 is given as 4 hours so the equation becomes

x+y=W/4

x+x/2=W/4

3x/2=W/4

As x=W/t_1

3W/2t_1=W/4

Now as W is same on both sides so

3/2t_1=1/4

12=2t_1

t_1=6 hours

So it will take 6 hours for the new pump to drain the pool.

I need to solve for x, help please.
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

x = 52   i hope this helps!   :)

Step-by-step explanation:

so first you gotta realize that every triangle has an interior angle measurement sum of 180 degrees

so we are given 3 angles   74 degrees  x + 2  and x

we now are going to put this into an equation   74 + x + 2 + x = 180

now lets combine like terms to get   76 + 2x = 180

then we are going to subtract the 76 from both sides   2x = 104

now lets divide both sides by 2   x = 52

so x = 52

we can plug in the value of x into both of the other equations to find the angle measurement

52 degrees

52 + 2 = 54 degrees

and then we have 74 degrees

add the 52, 54, and the 74 to make sure it is equal to 180 degrees

106 + 74 = 180

so yes, x does indeed equal 52 degrees
