Find the x-coordinates of the two points on the curve

Answer: x = {-2, 2}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Tangent means it is touching. Find the intersection of the two equations.

Solve the linear equation for y, then set the two equations equal to each other.

4y=x+8\qquad \rightarrow \qquad y=\dfrac{x+8}{4}

\dfrac{x-1}{x}=\dfrac{x+8}{4}\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply and solve for x:}\\4(x-1)=x(x+8)\\4x-4=x^2+8x\\.\qquad 0=x^2+4x+4\\.\qquad 0=(x+2)^2\\.\qquad 0=x+2\\.\qquad x=-2

To find the next point that is parallel to the linear equation and tangent to the curve, we need to use the linear equation with slope (m) = \dfrac{1}{4} and unknown b.

Let's try b = 0, then the equation of the linear equation is: y=\dfrac{1}{4}x

Set the equations equal to each other and solve for x:

\dfrac{x-1}{x}=\dfrac{x}{4}\\\\\\4(x-1)=x^2\\4x-4=x^2\\.\qquad 0=x^2-4x+4\\.\qquad 0=(x-2)^2\\.\qquad 0=x-2\\.\qquad x=2

This works!!!  If it didn't work, we would have tried other values for b until we arrived at a solution.

Diamonds have a density of 3.5 LaTeX: \frac{g}{cm^3}g c m 3. How big is a diamond that has a mass of 0.10 g?
liubo4ka [24]

For this case we have that by definition, the density is given by:

d = \frac {M} {V}

Where:

M: It is the mass of the diamond

V: It is the volume of the diamond

According to the data of the statement we have:

d = 3.5 \frac {g} {cm ^ 3}\\M = 0.10 \ g

So the volume is:

V = \frac {M} {d}\\V = \frac {0.10 \ g} {3.5 \frac {g} {cm ^ 3}}\\V = 0.02857\\V = 0.03 \ cm^3

Thus, the volume of the diamond is approximately 0.03 \ cm ^ 3

Answer:

0.03 \ cm ^ 3

Bill is $75. tip is 18% what is the total bill
yarga [219]

Answer:

Total bill = $88.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of bill = $75

Tip = 18%

Amount of tip = \frac{18}{100}*75

Amount of tip = 0.18 * 75

Amount of tip = $13.50

Total bill = Bill + Tip

Total bill = 75 + 13.50

Total bill = $88.50
