The line L is a tangent to the curve with equation y= 4x^2 +1 . The line L cuts the y axis at (0,8) and has a positive gradient.

Find the equation of L in the form y = mx + c.y= 4x^{2} +1

A generic point on the graph of the curve has coordinates

(x, 4x^2+1)

The derivative gives us the slope of the tangent line at a given point:

f(x) = 4x^2+1 \implies f'(x) = 8x

Let k be a generic x-coordinate. The tangent line to the curve at this point will pass through (k, 4k^2+1) and have slope 8k

So, we can write its equation using the point-slope formula: a line with slope m passing through (x_0, y_0) has equation

y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)

In this case, (x_0, y_0)=(k, 4k^2+1) and m=8k, so the equation becomes

y-4k^2-1 = 8k(x-k)

We can rewrite the equation as follows:

y-4k^2-1 = 8k(x-k) \iff y = 8kx - 8k^2+4k^2+1 \iff y = 8kx-4k^2+1

We know that this function must give 0 when evaluated at x=0:

f(x) = 8kx-4k^2+1 \implies f(0) = -4k^2+1 = 8 \iff -4k^2 = 7 \iff k^2 = -\dfrac{7}{4}

This equation has no real solution, so the problem looks impossible.

Using the porpotions: WHIP= (Walks+Hits) divide by Innings Pitched. The pitcher wants to lower his WHIP from 1.53 to 1.3. How ma
BaLLatris [955]
This relates to ur previous question....there were 85 innings last question and 130 walks + hits which gave a whip score of 1.53......so if he wants to lower his whip (without changing his walks or hits) to 1.3....
130 / (85 + x) = 1.3....multiply both sides by (85 + x)
130 = 1.3(85 + x)
130 = 110.50 + 1.3x
130 - 110.50 = 1.3x
19.5 = 1.3x
19.5 / 1.3 = x
15 = x

he would have to pitch 15 more innings without any walks or hits to reach a goal of 1.3 whip score. This is not a reasonable goal.....have u ever seen a baseball game where a pitcher pitched 15 innings without any walks or hits ? And since a game consists of 9 innings....he would be 3 innings short of 2 games (thats if they dont go into overtime), and he would have to pitch a no hitter....and that is highly unlikely.

Roy is twice as old as Joan, and in 3 years the sum of their ages will be 21 years. Find their present ages.
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Roy is 10 years old at present and Joan is 5 years old at present

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x----> Roy's age

y----> Joan's age

we know that

x=2y ----> equation A

(x+3)+(y+3)=21 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

(2y+3)+(y+3)=21

solve for y

3y+6=21

3y=21-6

3y=15

y=5 years

Find the value of x

x=2y  ----> x=2(5)=10 years

therefore

Roy is 10 years old at present

Joan is 5 years old at present
