Consider the curve y = x − x^3, find the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point (1, 0).

1 answer:

7 0

The derivative of a function, such as the one given above, represents the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the given point.

In this case, y = x − x^3, and dy/dx = 1 - 3x^2. Letting x = 1, we get the slope of the tangent line at the point (1,0): 1 - 3(1^2) = -2 (answer)

Answer:

14, -7, -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient is the number that multiplies the variable, so list the numbers that fall under that definition:

14x - 7x + 1 - 2x

↑ ↑ ↑

14 -7 -2

The coefficients in the expression are 14, -7, and -2.

By the binomial theorem,

$\displaystyle \left(x^2-\frac1x\right)^6 = \sum_{k=0}^6 \binom 6k (x^2)^{6-k} \left(-\frac1x\right)^k = \sum_{k=0}^6 \binom 6k (-1)^k x^{12-3k}$

I assume you meant to say "independent", not "indecent", meaning we're looking for the constant term in the expansion. This happens for k such that

12 - 3k = 0 ===> 3k = 12 ===> k = 4

which corresponds to the constant coefficient

$\dbinom 64 (-1)^4 = \dfrac{6!}{4!(6-4)!} = \boxed{15}$
