Using derivatives, it is found that regarding the tangent line to the function, we have that:
- The equation of the line is y = 962x - 5119.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The slope of the line tangent to a function f(x) at x = x' is given by f'(x'). In this problem, the function is given by:
f(x) = 5x³ + 2x + 1.
The derivative is given by:
f'(x) = 15x² + 2.
Hence the slope at x = 8 is:
m = f'(8) = 15(8)² + 2 = 962.
The line goes through the point (8,f(8)), hence:
f(8) = 5(8)³ + 2(8) + 1 = 2577.
Hence:
y = 962x + b
2577 = 962(8) + b
b = -5119.
Hence the equation is:
y = 962x - 5119.

It would be equal to −4x^3-14x^2-16x
Answer:
A small publishing company is planning to publish a new book. The production costs will include one-time fixed costs (such as editing) and variable costs (such as printing). The one-time fixed costs will amount to $17,750 . The variable costs will be $12.75 per book.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
-7x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the new slope that is perpendicular.
1/7 -> 7 -> -7
So far, we have -7x + b. (we use mx + b)
Since you asked for it to pass point A (-1, 5), substitute in x and y.
y = -7x + b
5 = -7(-1) +b
5 = 7 + b
b = -2
So the equation would be -7x - 2.
Your welcome!
