For the function P(x) = x3 − 9x, at the point (2, −10), find the following. (a) the slope of the tangent to the curve (b) the in
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

3, in both a), b)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The slope of the line tangent to the curve that passes through the point (2,-10) is equal to the derivative of p at x=2.

Using differentiation rules (power rule and sum rule), the derivative of p(x) for any x is p'(x)=3x^2-9. In particular, the value we are looking for is p'(2)=3(2^2)-9=12-9=3.

If you would like to compute the equation of the tangent line, we can use the point-slope equation to get y=3(x-2)-10=3x-16

b) The instantaneus rate of change is also equal to the derivative of P at the point x=2, that is, P'(2). This is equal to p'(2)=3.

Factor the expression completely <br> -15t-6
Tema [17]
In order to factor this, we will need to take something out to get it to factor. Lets take out a greatest common factor, in this case our greatest common factor will be 3.
We will then write it as:

-3(5t+2)

<h3>Answer: Total price of all 5 cars = $35000.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given total number of cars = 5 cars.

The mean of all of five cars = $7000.

Note: Total sum/value could be calculated by multiplying mean with the total numbers we have.

<em>Total price = Mean × Total number of cars.</em>

According to problem, mean is 7000 and total number of cars is 5.

<h3>Therefore, Total price of all 5 cars = 7000 × 5 = $35000.</h3>
