Answer:

<em>The sea cow can stay under water for 16 minutes.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

A hippopotamus can stay under water for 15 minutes.

A sea cow can stay under water y minutes and this is 11 minutes longer than one-third the time a hippopotamus can.

So, "11 minutes longer than one-third the time a hippopotamus can" means:  [\frac{1}{3}(15)+11] minutes

Thus, the equation will be:   y= \frac{1}{3}(15)+11

Now, solving the above equation, we will get.........

y= \frac{1}{3}(15)+11 \\ \\ y=5+11= 16

So, the sea cow can stay under water for 16 minutes.

Finding an Equation of a tangent Line in Exercise, find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of the function at the give
frutty [35]

Answer:

y=\dfrac{3x}{e}+\dfrac{4}{e}

this is the equation of the tangent at point (-1,1/e)

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the tangent line we need to find the derivative of the function g(x).

g(x) =e^{x^3}

  • we know that \frac{d}{dx}(e^{f(x)})=e^{f(x)}f'(x)

g'(x) =e^{x^{3}}(3 x^{2})

g'(x) =3 x^{2} e^{x^{3}}

this the equation of the slope of the curve at any point x and it also the slope of the tangent at any point x. hence, g'(x) can be denoted as 'm'

to find the slope at (-1,1/e) we'll use the x-coordinate of the point i.e. x = -1

m =3 (-1)^{2} e^{(-1)^{3}}\\m =3e^{-1}\\m=\dfrac{3}{e}

using the equation of line:

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

we'll find the equation of the tangent line.

here (x1,y1) =(-1,1/e), and m = 3/e

(y-\dfrac{1}{e})=\dfrac{3}{e}(x+1)\\y=\dfrac{3x}{e}+\dfrac{3}{e}+\dfrac{1}{e}\\

y=\dfrac{3x}{e}+\dfrac{4}{e}

this is the equation of the tangent at point (-1,1/e)

How could you use the property to compute 2x8x2 mentally
Sveta_85 [38]
First you need to kbkw you 2x tables then you multiply 2x8=16x2=32 the best way to do it is to break ot down in your head say that you know that 2x2=4 then you do 4x8=32
