<h3>Answer: LCM = 132</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

LCM = least common denominator

List out the prime factorization of each denominator

6 = 2*3
11 = 1*11
12 = 2*2*3

So we have the list of primes 2,3, and 11 that help form the denominators when we multiply some of them together.

The prime 2 shows up at most twice, so 2*2 = 4 is a factor of the LCM

The prime 3 shows up at most one time, meaning 3 is also a factor

The prime 11 shows up at most one time, so 11 is another factor

Multiply these factors to get 4*3*11 = 12*11 = 132

The LCM is 132

---------------------

Another Approach:

Focus on 1/6 and 10/11 for now. The LCM is 66 because 6*11 = 66. We simply multiply the denominators together. Then we divide over the GCF 1 to get 66/1 = 66.

The LCM of 1/6 and 10/11 is 66

The fractions 1/6 and 10/11 are equivalent to 11/66 and 60/66 respectively

The original list of fractions updates to 11/66, 60/66, 5/12

We've gone from 3 different denominators to now 2 different denominators.

Repeat the steps of multiplying the denominators and dividing by the GCF

66*12 = 792

792/(gcf of 66 and 12) = 792/6 = 132

So the LCM of all the fractions is 132.

<span>one approach first write the formula substitute what you are given to find the rate you have the initial amount and the amount after a specified time do you see that it changed by (51 -48) millions in a period of (1997-1990) years using this rate with the new time (2017-1997) years and the new initial amount 51 million plug into the formula to find the new amount. Round your answer to the nearest million. the amount is calculated in millions. use the nearest whole number.</span>

Answer:

The tangent line to the given curve at the given point is $y=9x-26$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the tangent line we to compute the derivative of $y=2x^2-7x+6$ and then evaluate it for $x=4$ .

$(y=2x^2-7x+6)'$ Differentiate the equation.

$(y)'=(2x^2-7x+6)'$ Differentiate both sides.

$y'=(2x^2)'-(7x)'+(6)'$ Sum/Difference rule applied: $(f(x)\pmg(x))'=f'(x)\pm g'(x)$

$y'=2(x^2)'-7(x)'+(6)'$ Constant multiple rule applied: $(cf)'=c(f)'$

$y'2(2x)-7(1)+(6)'$ Applied power rule: $(x^n)'=nx^{n-1}$

$y'=4x-7+0$ Simplifying and apply constant rule: $(c)'=0$

$y'=4x-7$ Simplify.

Evaluate y' for x=4:

$y'=4(4)-7$

$y'=16-7$

$y'=9$ is the slope of the tangent line.

Point slope form of a line is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

where $m$ is the slope and $(x_1,y_1)$ is a point on the line.

Insert 9 for $m$ and (4,10) for $(x_1,y_1)$ :

$y-10=9(x-4)$

The intended form is $y=mx+b$ which means we are going need to distribute and solve for $y$ .

Distribute:

$y-10=9x-36$

Add 10 on both sides:

$y=9x-26$

The tangent line to the given curve at the given point is $y=9x-26$ .

------------Formal Definition of Derivative----------------

The following limit will give us the derivative of the function $f(x)=2x^2-7x+6$ at $x=4$ (the slope of the tangent line at $x=4$ ):

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}\frac{f(x)-f(4)}{x-4}$

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}\frac{2x^2-7x+6-10}{x-4}$ We are given f(4)=10.

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}\frac{2x^2-7x-4}{x-4}$

Let's see if we can factor the top so we can cancel a pair of common factors from top and bottom to get rid of the x-4 on bottom:

$2x^2-7x-4=(x-4)(2x+1)$

Let's check this with FOIL:

First: $x(2x)=2x^2$

Outer: $x(1)=x$

Inner: $(-4)(2x)=-8x$

Last: $-4(1)=-4$

---------------------------------Add!

$2x^2-7x-4$

So the numerator and the denominator do contain a common factor.

This means we have this so far in the simplifying of the above limit:

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}\frac{2x^2-7x-4}{x-4}$

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}\frac{(x-4)(2x+1)}{x-4}$

$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4}(2x+1)$

Now we get to replace x with 4 since we have no division by 0 to worry about:

2(4)+1=8+1=9.
