Answer: 9x - 12 y =32

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the equation of a line passes through one point $(x_1,y_1)$ and having the slope m is,

$y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$

Here, $x_1 = 4$ , $y_1 = 1/3$ and m= 3/4

Therefore, equation of the line,

$y-1/3 = 3/4(x-4)$

⇒ 3y -1 = 9/4 (x-4)

⇒ 12 y - 4 = 9x - 36

⇒ 9x - 12y = - 4 + 36

⇒ 9x +12y = 32

Which is required equation of the line.

Y = mx + b
m = slope of the line
b= y-intercept

Since you are given the point (4,1/3), the y-value is 1/3.
So plug in the numbers and solve for b:
(1/3)= (3/4)*(4) + b

After you solve the equation for b, you should get -2 2/3 or -8/3

No rewrite the equation with the y-intercept, b.

y = (3/4 x) - (8/3)

yulyashka [42]

Their error is that they divided 12 by 30, instead of 30 by 12 in order to get the price per pair

the correct unit price is $2.50 per pair

2.5 * 12 = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

Since the answering box is way too small for this problem, there will be limited explanation.

Step 1: Define

Identify.

$\displaystyle y = \frac{\cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} +6}{\sin^2 x + 6} \times \frac{\tan^2 x + 5x}{\csc^2 x + 3}$

Step 2: Differentiate

We can differentiate this function with the use of the given derivative rules and properties.

Applying Product Rule:

$\displaystyle y' = \bigg( \frac{\cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} + 6}{\sin^2 x + 6} \bigg)' \frac{\tan^2 x + 5x}{\csc^2 x + 3} + \frac{\cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} +6}{\sin^2 x + 6} \bigg( \frac{\tan^2 x + 5x}{\csc^2 x + 3} \bigg) '$

Differentiating the first portion using Quotient Rule:

$\displaystyle \bigg( \frac{\cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} + 6}{\sin^2 x + 6} \bigg)' = \frac{\big( \cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} + 6 \big)' \big( \sin^2 x + 6 \big) - \big( \sin^2 x + 6 \big)' \big( \cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} + 6 \big)}{\big( \sin^2 x + 6 \big)^2}$

Apply Derivative Rules and Properties, namely the Chain Rule:

$\displaystyle \bigg( \frac{\cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} + 6}{\sin^2 x + 6} \bigg)' = \frac{\big( -2 \cos x \sin x - \frac{3}{2\sqrt{x}} \big) \big( \sin^2 x + 6 \big) - \big( 2 \sin x \cos x \big) \big( \cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} + 6 \big)}{\big( \sin^2 x + 6 \big)^2}$

Differentiating the second portion using Quotient Rule again:

$\displaystyle \bigg( \frac{\tan^2 x + 5x}{\csc^2 x + 3} \bigg) ' = \frac{\big( \tan^2 x + 5x \big)' \big( \csc^2 x + 3 \big) - \big( \csc^2 x + 3 \big)' \big( \tan^2 x + 5x \big)}{\big( \csc^2 x + 3 \big)^2}$

Apply Derivative Rules and Properties, namely the Chain Rule again:
$\displaystyle \bigg( \frac{\tan^2 x + 5x}{\csc^2 x + 3} \bigg) ' = \frac{\big( 2 \tan x \sec^2 x + 5 \big) \big( \csc^2 x + 3 \big) - \big( -2 \csc^2 x \cot x \big) \big( \tan^2 x + 5x \big)}{\big( \csc^2 x + 3 \big)^2}$

Substitute in derivatives:

$\displaystyle y' = \frac{\big( -2 \cos x \sin x - \frac{3}{2\sqrt{x}} \big) \big( \sin^2 x + 6 \big) - \big( 2 \sin x \cos x \big) \big( \cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} + 6 \big)}{\big( \sin^2 x + 6 \big)^2} \frac{\tan^2 x + 5x}{\csc^2 x + 3} + \frac{\cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} +6}{\sin^2 x + 6} \frac{\big( 2 \tan x \sec^2 x + 5 \big) \big( \csc^2 x + 3 \big) - \big( -2 \csc^2 x \cot x \big) \big( \tan^2 x + 5x \big)}{\big( \csc^2 x + 3 \big)^2}$

Simplify:

$\displaystyle y' = \frac{\big( \tan^2 x + 5x \big) \bigg[ \big( -2 \cos x \sin x - \frac{3}{2\sqrt{x}} \big) \big( \sin^2 x + 6 \big) - 2 \sin x \cos x \big( \cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} + 6 \big) \bigg]}{\big( \sin^2 x + 6 \big)^2 \big( \csc^2 x + 3 \big)} + \frac{\big( \cos^2 x - 3\sqrt{x} +6 \big) \bigg[ \big( 2 \tan x \sec^2 x + 5 \big) \big( \csc^2 x + 3 \big) + 2 \csc^2 x \cot x \big( \tan^2 x + 5x \big) \bigg] }{\big( \csc^2 x + 3 \big)^2 \big( \sin^2 x + 6 \big)}$
