1<br>Determine the value of k if g(x)=4x+k is a tangent to f(x)=-x²+8x+20

tangare [24]

Answer:

k=24

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of the function f at x=a, can be found by differentiating f w.r.t. x and then replacing x with a.

f=-x^2+8x+20

Differentiating both sides:

f'=(-x^2+8x+20)'

By sum rule:

f'=(-x^2)'+(8x)'+(20)'

By constant multiple rule:

f'=-(x^2)'+8(x)'+(20)'

By constant rule:

f'=-(x^2)+8(x)'+0

By power rule:

f'=-2x+8

f' at x=a is -2a+8

This is the slope of any tangent line to the curve f.

The slope of g is 4 if you compare it to slope intercept form y=mx+b.

So we gave -2a+8=4.

Subtracr 8 on both sides: -2a=-4

Divide both sides by -2: a=2

The tangent line to the curve at x=2 is y=4x+k.

To tind y we must first know the y-coordinate of the point of tangency.

If x=2, then

f(2)=-(2)^2+8(2)+20=-4+16+20=12+20=32

So the point is (2,32).

g(x)=4x+k and we know g(2)=32.

This gives us:

32=4(2)+k

32=8+k

k=32-8

k=24

1615/170 simplify show work

Sloan [31]

1615/170

We first need to convert this into a proper fraction. Which means that the denominator must be larger than the numerator for it to be proper. Also, since 1615 is BIGGER than 170, we will end up with a mixed fraction. A mixed fraction always has a whole number.

1615 can go into 170 how many times?

9 times

170*9 = 1530

Now subtract.

1615 - 1530 = 85

Now we have our mixed fraction: 9 85/170

Now we must simplify the fraction.

85/5 = 17
170/5 = 34

17/34 is the smallest possible fraction we can get.

9 17/34

Final answer: $9 \frac{17}{34}$
