Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

$5^{-x}$ = 25 so x = -2 because $5^{2}$ = 25

if x = -2 then plug in: 5^1/2(-2) = 5^-1 = 1/5

Answer:

$\frac{7}{40}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1-(\frac{2}{5}+\frac{3}{10}+\frac{1}{8})$

$1-\frac{33}{40}$

$\frac{7}{40}=0.175$

Verify that the given point is on the curve and find the lines that are (a) tangent and (b) normal to the curve at the given poi

lara [203]

For each curve, plug in the given point $(x,y)$ and check if the equality holds. For example:

(I) (2, 3) does lie on $x^2+xy-y^2=1$ since 2^2 + 2*3 - 3^2 = 4 + 6 - 9 = 1.

For part (a), compute the derivative $\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$ , and evaluate it for the given point $(x,y)$ . This is the slope of the tangent line at the point. For example:

(I) The derivative is

$x^2+xy-y^2=1\overset{\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}}{\implies}2x+x\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}+y-2y\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=0\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{2x+y}{2y-x}$

so the slope of the tangent at (2, 3) is

$\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}(2,3)=\dfrac74$

and its equation is then

$y-3=\dfrac74(x-2)\implies y=\dfrac74x-\dfrac12$

For part (b), recall that normal lines are perpendicular to tangent lines, so their slopes are negative reciprocals of the slopes of the tangents, $-\frac1{\frac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}}$ . For example:

(I) The tangent has slope 7/4, so the normal has slope -4/7. Then the normal line has equation

$y-3=-\dfrac47(x-2)\implies y=-\dfrac47x+\dfrac{29}7$
