In order to find any of the info we need we have to find the first derivative of the equation.  If y=-x^2+8x,  then  y'=-2x+8.  We are told to find the slope at point (1, 7).  Using that x value in our derivative will give us the slope of the line at that point.  y' = -(1)^2+8.  So y' = 7.  That's the slope of the line.  Now we will use that slope along with the x and y coordinate in the slope-intercept form of a line to solve for b.  7 = 7(1) + b so b = 0.  Our equation then is y = 7x.  If you graph these in the same window on your calculator, you can see how perfectly that align at the given point.  It's really quite perfect.

Answer:

a) 6

b) y = 6x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a function y = f(x).

The slope of the tangent line at the point x = x0 is

m = y'(x0)

In this problem, we have that:

y = 8x - x^{2}

(a) find the slope of the tangent line to the parabola at the point (1, 7).

x_{0} = 1

So

m =  y'(1) = 8 - 2x = 8 - 2 = 6

(b) find an equation of the tangent line in part (a)

We have a point (x_{0}, y_{0})

The equation for the tangent line is:

y - y_{0} = m(x - x_{0})

So

x_{0} = 1, y_{0} = 7

y - y_{0} = m(x - x_{0})

y - 7 = 6(x - 1)

y = 6x - 6 + 7

y = 6x + 1

Simplify<br> (4i)(–5i)(6i)<br><br> –120<br><br> –120i(incorrect)<br><br> 120i<br><br> 120
professor190 [17]

Answer:

120i

Step-by-step explanation:

;i × i = -1....so hence

4i × (-5i) = -20 i^2...which is -20(-1) = 20....

then you multiply with 6i

20(6i) = 120i

Suppose the leader of a camping trip is putting together a trail mix

Answer:

8 pounds of peanuts, 6 pounds of raisins and 6 pounds of chocolate chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of pounds of peanuts and y be the number of pounds of raisins and chocolate chips.

Peanuts cost $2 per pound, then x pounds cost $2x.

Raisins cost $2.50 per pound, then y pounds cost $2.50y.

Chocolate chips cost $4 per pound, then y pounds cost $4y.

In total, x+y+y=20 and those 20 pounds cost

2x+2.50y+4y=20·2.75.

Solve the system of two equations:

\left \{ {{x+2y=20} \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \atop {2x+6.5y=55}} \right.

From the first equation:

x=20-2y

Substitute x into the second equation:

2(20-2y)+6.5y=55\\ \\40-4y+6.5y=55\\ \\2.5y=15\\ \\25y=150\\ \\y=6\\ \\x=20-2\cdot 6=8
