Answer:
The two horiz. tang. lines here are y = -3 and y = 192.
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember that the slope of a tangent line to the graph of a function is given by the derivative of that function. Thus, we find f '(x):
f '(x) = x^2 + 6x - 16. This is the formula for the slope. We set this = to 0 and determine for which x values the tangent line is horizontal:
f '(x) = x^2 + 6x - 16 = 0. Use the quadratic formula to determine the roots here: a = 1; b = 6 and c = -16: the discriminant is b^2-4ac, or 36-4(1)(-16), which has the value 100; thus, the roots are:
-6 plus or minus √100
x = ----------------------------------- = 2 and -8.
2
Evaluating y = x^3/3+3x^2-16x+9 at x = 2 results in y = -3. So one point of tangency is (2, -3). Remembering that the tangent lines in this problem are horizontal, we need only the y-coefficient of (2, -3) to represent this first tangent line: it is y = -3.
Similarly, find the y-coeff. of the other tangent line, which is tangent to the curve at x = -8. The value of x^3/3+3x^2-16x+9 at x = -8 is 192, and so the equation of the 2nd tangent line is y=192 (the slope is zero).
Intersection means elements both have. Both sets have -1 but they have nothing else in common so the intersection is {-1}
Union means combining the sets so {-1, 1, 2, 3, 7} Note that I only wrote 1 twice. No duplicates allowed!
Step-by-step explanation:
a.) All real numbers x greater than 2
===> X > 2
b.) 6 more than a number k is less than or equal to 12
===> 6+k =< 12
The ratio of the trout with tags that are caught and the total trout with tags is first calculated.
r = 12 trout / 180 trout = 1/15
Then, we divide the number of trouts caught without tag by the value obtained above.
N = (48 - 12) / (1/15) = 540
Then, we add the number obtained above and 180.
T = 540 + 180 = 720
ANSWER: 720
Answer: 2 more games
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that a baseball team has won 6 game and lost 4 game.
We are further told that the team dosent lose anymore games and want to know the number of games they must win to have a ratio of 2:1.
Since they have lost 4 games and need a ratio of 2:1. This means we have to multiply the game lost by 2. This will be: = 4 × 2 = 8 games.
Since they've won 6 games already, they'll need to win = 8 - 6 = 2 games more.
