Answer:
(a) x +5y = 22
(b) p = 11, q = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>(a)</h3>
The derivative of a function tells you the slope of its curve at every point. Then the slope of C at x=2 is ...
dy/dx = 2³ +2(2) -7 = 5
The normal to the curve at the point of interest will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of this: -1/5. Then the point-slope equation of the normal line can be written as ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
y -4 = -1/5(x -2) . . . . line with slope -1/5 through point (2, 4)
5y -20 = -x +2 . . . . multiply by 5
x +5y = 22 . . . . . . add x+20 to put in standard form
The graph shows curve C and the desired normal line.

<h3>(b)</h3>
The power rule for derivatives tells you ...
(d/dx)(a·x^n) = a·n·x^(n-1)
This relation gives you two ways to find the values of p and q.
a) using the exponent of the term
b) using the coefficient of the term
Either way, the values are ...
p = 10 +1 = 11
q = 4 +1 = 10/2 = 5
Add all sides together to find the length of each side
Sorry to disappoint, but none of these answers are correct. All three limits are equal to 7.
Compute the one-sided limits:


Both the one-sided limits agree, so the two-sided limit has the same value,
