Well when you round to the nearest 10 it will be 1 number after the point (this is due to that 10 only has one 0.) now we know that if there is a number bigger than 5 besides the number they ask you in this case the first after the point you will add 1 to that number. in this case you will add 1 to the 3. this will give you the answer of 56.4
Hope this helps
So you round to the second decimal place, giving you 43.59
Answer: Ooh, okay. Have fun then I guess.
If tangent to the curve y = √x is parallel to the line y = 8x, then this implies that the tangent to y = <span>√x has the same slope as the line y = 8x. In other words, the derivative (slope) function of y = √x is equal to the slope of the line y = 8x, which is m = 8. Hence y' = 8 once we find y'
y = </span><span>√x = x^(1/2)
Applying the power rule and simplifying, we find that the derivative is
y' = 1/(2</span>√x)
Now remember that y' must equal 8
1/(2<span>√x) = 8
Multiplying both sides by 2</span><span>√x, we obtain
1 = 16</span><span>√x
Dividing both sides by 16, yields
</span><span>√x = 1/16
But wait a minute, √x = y. Thus 1/16 must be the y-coordinate of the point at which the tangent to y = √x is drawn.
Squaring both sides, yields
x = 1/256
This is the x-coordinate of the point on the curve where the tangent is drawn.
</span><span>∴ the required point must be (1/256, 1/16)
GOOD LUCK!!!</span>
