What is the slope of the graph of y = x^2 + 12 -7 at the point x = 4

Mathematics
1 answer:
Doss [256]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  find the derivative of y = x^2 + 12x - 7; it is 2x + 12.

This function represents the slope of the tangent line to the given curve at x.

Step 2:  Substitute 4 for x in f '(x) = 2x + 12:  f '(4) = 2(4) + 12 = 20

The slope of the tangent line to the graph of y = x^2 + 12x - 7 at x = 4 is 20.

Assume that the Poisson distribution applies and that the mean number of hurricanes in a certain area is 5.8 per year. a. Find t
maw [93]

Answer:

a. 0.098

b. 4.41

c. Yes, it does.

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The Poisson distribution's equation is:

P(x) = (nˣ*e⁻ⁿ)/x!

where P is the probability, n is mean number, and x the number of the event happens, so:

P(3) = \frac{5.8^3*e^{-5.8}}{3!}

P(3) = 0.098

b.

For 45 years, the years that are expected to have 3 hurricanes are

P(3) * 45 = 0.098*45 = 4.41

c.

Yes, it does. The Poisson distribution works well because the observed value of the number of years that 3 hurricanes occur is 45-year period is very close to the calculated value.

The area of a square is increasing at a rate of 24 centimeters squared per second. Find the rate of change of the side of the sq
velikii [3]

Answer:

3cm/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a square is expressed as:

A = L²

Rate of change of area is expressed as:

dA/dt = dA/dL•dL/dt

Given that

dA/dt = 24cm²/s

L = 4cm

Required

dL/dt

Since dA/dl = 2L

dA/dl = 2(4)

dA/dl = 8cm

Subatitute the given values into the formula

24 = 8 dL/dt

dL/dt = 24/8

dL/dt = 3cm/s
