The tangent line has slope \frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}, which we can find using the chain rule:

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}}

We have

x(t)=3t^2+7\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}=6t

y(t)=t^6\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dt}=6t^5

so that

\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{6t^5}{6t}=t^4

When t=-1, the tangent line has slope 1.

To compute the second derivative \frac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}, first notice that the first derivative \frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx} turns out to be a function of t. Denote this first derivative by f(t). Then by the chain rule, we find

\dfrac{\mathrm d^2y}{\mathrm dx^2}=\dfrac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{\frac{\mathrm df}{\mathrm dt}}{\frac{\mathrm dx}{\mathrm dt}}=\dfrac{4t^3}{6t}=\dfrac23t^2

and at t=1, we get a value of 2/3.

What are the explicit equation and domain for an arithmetic sequence with a first term of 8 and a second term of 5? 20 pts.
fgiga [73]

ANSWER

a_n = 11 - 3n

EXPLANATION

The explicit rule for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

a_n = a_1 + d(n - 1)

It was given that:

a_1 = 8

and

a_2 = 3

The common difference is

d = 5 - 8 =  - 3

We plug in the values into the explicit formula to get,

a_n = 8+  - 3(n - 1)

Expand to get,

a_n = 8 - 3n  + 3

The explicit rule is

a_n = 11 - 3n

(a) Descriptive form: The set of natural numbers greater than or equal to 6.
olasank [31]

The set of natural numbers greater than or equal to 6 will be 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, ....

<h3>How to illustrate the information?</h3>

It should be noted that the first information is about the set of natural numbers greater than or equal to 6. Therefore, they will be 6 and above.

It should be noted that the descriptive form simply states in words the elements that are in a set. It is the verbal description of the elements in the set. It is the determination of the elements that belong to a set and those that doesn't.

Also, the way that a set is described is known as the roster form. In this case, the contents of a set can be described by listing the elements that are in the set which are separated by a comma inside the bracket.

Also, the roster form: (5, 7, 9, 11) indicates odd natural numbers. The numbers that are given are odd.
