Answer:

The tangent intersects the curve only one point while the chord will intersect the curve at more than one point.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent will touch the curve while the chord cuts the curve.

The tangent intersects the curve only one point while the chord will intersect the curve at more than one point.

From the diagram in the attachment line BD is a tangent while line BC is a chord.

given the function f(x)=5(x+4)^3/2, which of the following represents its y-intercept? (1)40 (2)20 (3)4 (4)30

MissTica

f(x)=5(x+4)^3/2, let y = f(x).

y =5(x+4)^3/2. The y intercept is value of y when x = 0

y intercept = 5(0+4)^3/2 = 5* 4^3.2 = 5*6 = 30. Use your calculator.

y intercept = 30

F) $28.32/8= $3.54 per gallon
G) $35.60/10= $3.56 per gallon
H) $42.60/12= $3.55 per gallon

Gas cost the least at gas station E) $3.53 per gallon

the volume of a sphere is 950 cubic inches. Use the formula for the volume of a sphere to find the radius to the nearest tenth o

pashok25 [27]

Volume of a sphere=(4/3)πr³ ⇒r=∛(3v/4π)
volume of a sphere=950 in³
Therefore:
r=∛(3*950 in³/4π)=6.09834... in≈6.1 in

answer: radius=6.1 in
