The derivative of your function is:
1 + (1*dy/dx + y) - 4y(dy/dx) = 0
2 + dy/dx + y - 4y(dy/dx) = 0
(2 + y) + dy/dx (1 - 4y) = 0
(dy/dx) = -(2 + y)/(1 - 4y)

and at point (2,1),
dy/dx = -(2 + 1)/(1 - 4*1)
= -3 / -3
= 1

Slope of tangent line = 1

The derivative is actually (-y-1)/(4y+x)
then you plug in the points (2,1) ==>
(-1-1)/(4*1+2) which equals -1/3
then you just plug in your info into a point-slope formula and get:
y-1=-1/3(x-2) which can then be reduced

Hey there!

4^4

= 4 • 4 • 4 • 4

= 4 • 4 ➡️ 16

= 16 • 16

= 256

Answer: 256 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

Answer:

(a) 120 square units (underestimate)

(b) 248 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) left sum

See the attachment for a diagram of the areas being summed (in orange). This is the sum of the first 4 table values for f(x), each multiplied by 2 (the width of the rectangle). Quite clearly, the curve is above the rectangle for the entire interval, so the rectangle area underestimates the area under the curve.

left sum = 2(1 + 5 + 17 + 37) = 2(60) = 120 . . . . square units

(b) right sum

The right sum is the sum of the last 4 table values for f(x), each multiplied by 2 (the width of the rectangle). This sum is ...

right sum = 2(5 +17 + 37 +65) = 2(124) = 248 . . . . square units

And we got $\alpha/2 =0.01$ so then the value for $\alpha=0.02$ and then the confidence level is given by: $Conf=1-0.02=0.98[/tex[ or 98%Step-by-step explanation:A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval". The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval. Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
