For what value of b do the lines bx+3y=10 and x–2y=4 intersect at a point on the x-axis?

1 answer:

7 0

Since we need to find the point at which the 2 lines intersect at the x-axis, we need to find where the 2nd line intersects the x axis, by plugging in y=0.

x-2(0)=4
x=4
Therefore, at (4,0).

Now we plug in (4,0) at the first equation.
4b+3(0)=10
4b=10
b=5/2

Therefore, at b=5/2

$\large\boxed{f'(2) = -\frac{16}{27} }$

$f'(x) = \frac{(5 + x^{2} )(-2x) - (7 - x^{2} )(2x)}{(5+x^{2})^{2} } \\\\f'(x) = \frac{-10x-2x^{3}- 14x + 2x^{3} }{(5+x^{2})^{2} } \\\\f'(x) = \frac{-24x}{(5+x^{2})^{2} }\\\\ \text{Solve for the derivative at f'(2) using substitution:}\\\\f'(2) = \frac{-24(2)}{(5+2^{2})^{2} } \\\\f'(2) = \frac{-48}{81} \\\\\text{Simplify:}\\\\f'(2) = -\frac{16}{27}$
