The slope of the tangent line to the curve x^3y+y^2-x^2=5 at the point (2,1) is

Answer:

-4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of the tangent to the equation at any point we must differentiate the equation.

x^3y+y^2-x^2=5

3x^2y+x^3y'+2yy'-2x=0

Gather terms with y' on one side and terms without on opposing side.

x^3y'+2yy'=2x-3x^2y

Factor left side

y'(x^3+2y)=2x-3x^2y

Divide both sides by (x^3+2y)

y'=(2x-3x^2y)/(x^3+2y)

y' is the slope any tangent to the given equation at point (x,y).

Plug in (2,1):

y'=(2(2)-3(2)^2(1))/((2)^3+2(1))

Simplify:

y'=(4-12)/(8+2)

y'=-8/10

y'=-4/5

A dance school charges a registration addition to a fee per lesson. The equation is y=30x+25 represents the total cost x lessons
Alexxandr [17]
That would be the slope of this straight line; it's 30 units / lesson, e. g., $30/lesson.  The $25 is the registration and/or up-front cost.

What is the product of (7x+2) and 20-3x/4
fredd [130]
(7x+2)(20-3x/4) = 140x + 40 - 21x²/4 - 3x/2 = -21/4 x² + 138 1/2 x + 40

this is one of those multiplications that doesn't make the result look any simpler...

Another housecleaning service, Acme Home, calculates its fees using the equation y=25x
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

y < 25x , or y = kx { where k < 25 } , or choosing a time saving worker {as fee is in terms of hours}

Step-by-step explanation:

Services cost : y = 25x , where y is the total fee and x is the number of hours worked.

If customer is looking to choose the less expensive cleaning service ; he / she has following options -

  • Choosing fee structure where y < 25x
  • Choosing y = k x , where k per hour fee is lesser
  • Choosing time efficient worker, as fee is in regards hours utilised.

I don't know how to do it
kumpel [21]
For the pan one, you would colour all 4 of them (lightly) because she used all 4. For the cutting them up one, you did it right. For the next one, the first thing you need to do is colour 1 slice on the first triangle, on the 3rd on colour 2 slices, on the 2nd one colour two slices, and on the 4th one colour 4 slices. (Colour these ones hard.)

Bought three boxes totaling 151 book cost 50% more than the other two what was the price of the more expensive book 80 85 90 95
GenaCL600 [577]
Two cheaper books = x
more expensive = 1.5x
so, 2.5x=150
150/2.5=x=60
therefore the more expensive book = 90
