Check the picture below.

so let's find the lengths of those two sides in red, since are the length and width of the rectangle.

Natalie added 20 pieces of candy to a bowl. Two days later, half of the candy in the bowl is gone. If there are 14 pieces left i

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

8 pieces of candy

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the original amount of candy in the bowl to be $x$ .

It says that 20 pieces of candy were added, therefore there are $x+20$ pieces of candy in the bowl.

Half of the candy is gone, therefore $\frac{x+20}{2}$ pieces of candy are left in the bowl.

After half of the candy is gone, there are 14 pieces left, so we can say that $\frac{x+20}{2} =14$

Solve for $x$ :

$x+20 = 28$

$x=8$

A line tangent to the curve f(x)=1/(2^2x) at the point (a, f(a)) has a slope of -1. What is the x-intercept of this tangent?

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

x-intercept = 0.956

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the function f(x) given by:

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2^{2x}}$ (1)

Furthermore you have that at the point (a,f(a)) the tangent line to that point has a slope of -1.

You first derivative the function f(x):

$\frac{df}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}[\frac{1}{2^{2x}}]$ (2)

To solve this derivative you use the following derivative formula:

$\frac{d}{dx}b^u=b^ulnb\frac{du}{dx}$

For the derivative in (2) you have that b=2 and u=2x. You use the last expression in (2) and you obtain:

$\frac{d}{dx}[2^{-2x}]=2^{-2x}(ln2)(-2)$

You equal the last result to the value of the slope of the tangent line, because the derivative of a function is also its slope.

$-2(ln2)2^{-2x}=-1$

Next, from the last equation you can calculate the value of "a", by doing x=a. Furhtermore, by applying properties of logarithms you obtain:

$-2(ln2)2^{-2a}=-1 \\\\2^{2a}=2(ln2)=1.386\\\\log_22^{2a}=log_2(1.386)\\\\2a=\frac{log(1.386)}{log(2)}\\\\a=0.235$

With this value you calculate f(a):

$f(a)=\frac{1}{2^{2(0.235)}}=0.721$

Next, you use the general equation of line:

$y-y_o=m(x-x_o)$

for xo = a = 0.235 and yo = f(a) = 0.721:

$y-0.721=(-1)(x-0.235)\\\\y=-x+0.956$

The last is the equation of the tangent line at the point (a,f(a)).

Finally, to find the x-intercept you equal the function y to zero and calculate x:

$0=-x+0.956\\\\x=0.956$

hence, the x-intercept of the tangent line is 0.956
