Find the equation of the tangent line. y=(x^2+x-2)^2 at (-1,4)​

Mathematics

Keith_Richards [23]3 years ago
6 0

Compute the derivative of <em>y</em> = (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2)² using the chain rule:

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2 (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2) d/d<em>x</em> [<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2]

d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2 (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2) (2<em>x</em> + 1)

Evaluate the derivative at <em>x</em> = -1 :

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

This is the slope of the tangent line to the function at (-1, 4).

Use the point-slope formula to get the equation for the tangent line:

<em>y</em> - 4 = 4 (<em>x</em> - (-1))   →   <em>y</em> = 4<em>x</em> + 8

Outcome          Red     Blue    Green   Yellow
Frequency       10          5          13           7        total: 35 trials

experimental probability of Yellow: 7/35 =1/5 or 20%
experimental probability of Blue or Red: 5/35 + 10/35 = 15/35 = 3/7 or 42.86%

The sample is biased. This is because all he interviewed are employees of the company. They are more inclined to give a positive feedback regardless of their true opinion because they want to retain their jobs.

The task I need explaining is: how to show that an estimate of the mean time spent on homework is 64.8 minutes. Thanks!
xenn [34]
It's just an estimate.  There's no telling how close it is.

To estimate using just the information in the table,
ASSUME that the average of all the students in each
slot is the average time of that slot.

I know that's confusing.  I can't think of a better way to say it,
so here are two examples of what I mean.  Look at the table:

-- 6 students said that they spent between 0 and 30 minutes.
   ASSUME that those 6 students averaged 15 minutes each.

-- 21 students said that they spent between 60 and 90 minutes.
   ASSUME that those 21 students averaged 75 minutes each.

So, when you add up the times for all 50 students, you'll have

 (6 x 15 min) + (14 x 45 min) + (21 x 75min) + (9 x 105 min) =

When you total up all those times, divide it by 50 to estimate
the average per student.  

Remember ... it's only an estimate.
If the first group had 1 student that spent 2 minutes, and
the other 5 of them spent 29 minutes, then it won't work.
But you'll never know.
