Use the pythagorean theorem,
a^2+b^2=c^2
1^2+1^2=c^2
1+1=c^2
2=c^2
2=2
Square root of 2 is 1.41 (approximately)
c=1.41

Answer:

$x-4y+4=0$

$f(x)=\sqrt x$ and x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a curve

$y=\sqrt x$

We have to find the equation of tangent at point (4,2) on the given curve.

Let y=f(x)

Differentiate w.r.t x

$f'(x)=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt x}$

By using the formula $\frac{d(\sqrt x)}{dx}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt x}$

Substitute x=4

Slope of tangent

$m=f'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt 4}=\frac{1}{2\times 2}=\frac{1}{4}$

In given question

$m=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}$

$\frac{1}{4}=\lim_{x\rightarrow 4}\frac{f(x)-f(4)}{x-4}$

By comparing we get a=4

Point-slope form

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

Using the formula

The equation of tangent at point (4,2)

$y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x-4)$

$4y-8=x-4$

$x-4y-4+8=0$

$x-4y+4=0$

The operations manager of a large production plant would like to estimate the mean amount of time a worker takes to assemble a n

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(15,595, 16,805)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to:

m = 16.2, sd = 3.75, n = 150

m is the mean, sd is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.

the degree of freedom would be:

n - 1 = 150 - 1 = 149

df = 149

at 95% confidence level the t is:

alpha = 1 - 95% = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

alpha / 2 = 0.05 / 2 = 0.025

now well for t alpha / 2 (0.025) and df (149) = t = 1,976

the margin of error = E = t * sd / (n ^ (1/2))

replacing:

E = 1,976 * 3.75 / (150 ^ (1/2))

E = 0.605

The 95% confidence interval estimate of the popilation mean is:

m - E <u <m + E

16.2 - 0.605 <u <16.2 + 0.605

15,595 <u <16,805
