Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the tangent to a curve is the derivative of the curve. We need to find the derivative of the function and then evaluate the derivative at that given x value. The derivative is found using the product rule:

y'=f(x)g'(x)+f'(x)g(x)

Let's call 3x our f(x) and sin(x) our g(x). Filling in the formula for the derivative using the product rule looks like this:

y'=3x(cosx)+3sinx

That gives us the derivative, which is the slope formula that can be used at ANY x value anywhere on the curve to find the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that x value. If we want to find the slope of the tangent line to the curve at x = pi/2, we evaluate the slope formula at x = pi/2 (remember that y' is the same exact thing as the slope):

y'(slope)=3(\frac{\pi}{2})(cos\frac{\pi}{2})+3(sin\frac{\pi}{2})

From the unit circle (or experience, since you're in advaced math), we know that the cosine of pi/2 is 0 and that the sin of pi/2 = 1:

y'(slope)=3(\frac{\pi}{2})(0)+3(1) simplifies to

y' (slope) = 3

That means that the slope of the line tangent to the curve at the point x = pi/2 is 3.

Answer:

Ham costs: $8.249 repeating

Overall cost: 1.26 repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

$4.95 x 5/3= 8.249

2/3 + 3/5= (2 x 5) + (3 x 3)/ 3 x 5=

19/ 15 or 1 4/15

15 divided by 19= 1.26 repeating

Select the equation of a straight line that is parallel to the line 4y = 3x + 5
insens350 [35]

Answer:

One equation can be y = 3/4X +2

Step-by-step explanation:

Any equation that has a slope of 3/4 will be parallel to the line 4Y = 3X + 5 because the slope is the same. This can also be shown visually using any graphing calculator.

Kyle works at a donut​ factory, where a​ 10-oz cup of coffee costs 95¢​, a​ 14-oz cup costs​ $1.15, and a​ 20-oz cup costs​ $1.5
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Kyle filled 4 10-oz cups, 6 14-oz cups, and 4 20-oz cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 10-oz, 14-oz, and 20-oz coffees be represented by the variables <em>a, b</em>, and <em>c</em>, respectively.

Since a total of 14 cups of coffee was served:

a+b+c=14

A total of 204 ounces of coffee was served. Therefore:

10a+14b+20c=204

A total of $16.70 was collected. Hence:

0.95a+1.15b+1.5c=16.7

This yields a triple system of equations. In order to solve a triple system, we should isolate the system to only two variables first.

From the first equation, let's subtract <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> from both sides:

c=14-a-b

Substitute this into both the second and third equations:

10a+14b+20(14-a-b)=204

And:

0.95a+1.15b+1.5(14-a-b)=16.7

In this way, we've successfully created a system of two equations, which can be more easily solved. Distribute:

For the Second Equation:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 10a+14b+280-20a-20b&=204\\ -10a-6b&=-76\\5a+3b&=38\end{aligned}

And for the Third:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 0.95a+1.15b+21-1.5a-1.5b&=16.7\\ -0.55a-0.35b&=-4.3\end{aligned}

We can solve this using substitution. From the second equation, isolate <em>a: </em>

<em />\displaystyle a=\frac{1}{5}(38-3b)=7.6-0.6b<em />

Substitute into the third:

-0.55(7.6-0.6b)-0.35b=-4.3

Distribute and simplify:

-4.18+0.33b-0.35b=-4.3

Therefore:

-0.02b=-0.12\Rightarrow b=6

Using the equation for <em>a: </em>

<em />a=7.6-0.6(6)=4<em />

<em />

And using the equation for <em>c: </em>

<em />c=14-(4)-(6)=14-10=4<em />

<em />

Therefore, Kyle filled 4 10-oz cups, 6 14-oz cups, and 4 20-oz cups.
