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.

53 - 21 + 62 + (25 ÷ 5)
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

So your equation is: 5y3 - 21 + 6y2 + (25 ÷ 5) and y = 2.

Evaluate for y=2

5(23)−21+6(22)+

25

5

5(23)−21+6(22)+

25

5

=48.

So the answer is 48.
