8 0

Answer:

ST = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

RS + ST = RT, substitute values

3x - 8 + x = 2x, that is

4x - 8 = 2x ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2x - 8 = 0 ( add 8 to both sides )

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

Thus ST = x = 4

Find the point on the curve y = √ x where the tangent line is parallel to the line y = x 8 .
vichka [17]
If tangent to the curve y = √x  is parallel to the line  y = 8x,  then this implies that the tangent to  y = <span>√x  has the same slope as the line  y = 8x. In other words, the derivative (slope) function of  y = √x  is equal to the slope of the line  y = 8x, which is m = 8.  Hence y' = 8  once we find  y'

y =  </span><span>√x = x^(1/2)

Applying the power rule and simplifying, we find that the derivative is

y' = 1/(2</span>√x)

Now remember that  y'  must equal 8

1/(2<span>√x) = 8

Multiplying both sides by  2</span><span>√x,  we obtain

1 = 16</span><span>√x

Dividing both sides by  16,  yields

</span><span>√x = 1/16

But wait a minute, √x = y.  Thus  1/16  must be the y-coordinate of the point at which the tangent to  y = √x  is drawn.

Squaring both sides, yields

x = 1/256 

This is the x-coordinate of the point on the curve where the tangent is drawn.

</span><span>∴ the required point must be  (1/256, 1/16)

GOOD LUCK!!!</span>

A. 2.

A radical is an expression which implies the use of a root.

There are three components of a radical expression:

(i) The root "√".

(ii) The radicand √"a".

(iii) The degree or index of the radical \sqrt["n"]{a}, when index of the radical is not shown then it understood to be a index of 2.

The index is the number used to indicate the degree of the root.

For the example \sqrt{10}, 10 is the radican and the index is not shown so it understood is 2.
