Find the equation of the tangent line. y=(9-x^2)^1/3 at (1,2)​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Schach [20]2 years ago
7 0

Get the derivative:

<em>y</em> = (9 - <em>x</em>²)¹ʹ³

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 1/3 (9 - <em>x</em>²)⁻²ʹ³ d/d<em>x</em> [9 - <em>x</em>²]

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 1/3 (9 - <em>x</em>²)⁻²ʹ³ (-2<em>x</em>)

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = -2/3 <em>x</em> (9 - <em>x</em>²)⁻²ʹ³

Evaluate it at <em>x</em> = 1 :

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> (1) = -2/3 • 8⁻²ʹ³

Since 8 = 2³, we have

8⁻²ʹ³ = 1 / 8²ʹ³ = 1 / (2³)²ʹ³ = 1 / 2² = 1/4

Then the tangent line has equation

<em>y</em> - 2 = 1/4 (<em>x</em> - 1)   →   <em>y</em> = 1/4 <em>x</em> + 7/4

On a cold January morning, the radiator fluid in Christine’s truck is –13°F. With the engine on, the temperature goes up by 3.6°
faust18 [17]

Answer:

It will take 17.5 minutes to reach 50 degrees F.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current temperature = -13 degrees F

With the engine on, the temperature goes up by 3.6°F per minute.

Let us assume that it takes x minutes to reach 50 degrees F.

So, the time taken will be =

-13+3.6(x)=50

=> 3.6x=50+13

=> 3.6x=63

x = 17.5 minutes

The expression that tells how much the temperature needs to change from -13°F to 50°F is : -13+3.6(x)=50

It will take 17.5 minutes to reach 50 degrees F.
