Find an equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola y = 3/x at the point (3, 1).

Vesna [10]

Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation. We already have an x and y value. The derivative is found this way: $y'= \frac{x(0)-3(1)}{x^2}$ so $y'=- \frac{3}{x^2}$ . The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation. Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is: $y'=- \frac{3}{3^2}=- \frac{3}{9}=- \frac{1}{3}$ . So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3. Use these values to solve for b. $1=- \frac{1}{3}(3)+b$ so b = 2. The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is $y=- \frac{1}{3}x+2$

<span>The tortoise is runing one mile per hour the entire race. The hare is runing 3/4 only the first half. If we multiply by 2 totis =2 miles and hare =1.50 the hare need to run 1/2 or .50 faster to beat the tortis.</span>

What is missing for the following quantity to be true? 3a . 4y . 5=5 . 3a

irakobra [83]

It's 4y because it is multiplying, meaning it does not matter the order of the numbers and variables.

Answer:

If you have a perpendicular shape, like a plus sign, usually what I was taught, right whole side of the "plus" sign are negative. The left side is positive. I think it's how you say it.

2.2 • 10^6 - 4.3 • 10^5 = ?

Nezavi [6.7K]

So first, you have to multiply 2.2 x 1000000 = 2200000, next you need to multiply 4.3 x 100000 = 430000, lastly, you subtract 2200000 - 430000 = 1770000

If it is correct, brainliest please
