The correct answer is a. In the left-hand column, each number goes up by one. In the right hand column, each number goes up by 1120. Each number on the left can be multiplied by 1120 to get the number on the right.

Find the annual interest rate if i=$562.50, p=$1500, t=5 years

aniked [119]

I=prt. Sub in what you know: 562.50=1500(r)(5). Multiply: 562.5=7500r. Divide to get the unknown by itself: .075=r or 10%=r. :)

Let f(x) = 1/x^2 (a) Use the definition of the derivatve to find f'(x). (b) Find the equation of the tangent line at x=2

Verdich [7]

Answer:

(a) $f'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^3}$

(b) $y=-0.25x+0.75$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}$ .... (1)

According to the first principle of the derivative,

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{1}{(x+h)^2}-\frac{1}{x^2}}{h}$

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{x^2-(x+h)^2}{x^2(x+h)^2}}{h}$

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{x^2-x^2-2xh-h^2}{hx^2(x+h)^2}$

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{-2xh-h^2}{hx^2(x+h)^2}$

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{-h(2x+h)}{hx^2(x+h)^2}$

Cancel out common factors.

$f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{-(2x+h)}{x^2(x+h)^2}$

By applying limit, we get

$f'(x)=\frac{-(2x+0)}{x^2(x+0)^2}$

$f'(x)=\frac{-2x)}{x^4}$

$f'(x)=\frac{-2)}{x^3}$ .... (2)

Therefore $f'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^3}$ .

(b)

Put x=2, to find the y-coordinate of point of tangency.

$f(x)=\frac{1}{2^2}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

The coordinates of point of tangency are (2,0.25).

The slope of tangent at x=2 is

$m=(\frac{dy}{dx})_{x=2}=f'(x)_{x=2}$

Substitute x=2 in equation 2.

$f'(2)=\frac{-2}{(2)^3}=\frac{-2}{8}=\frac{-1}{4}=-0.25$

The slope of the tangent line at x=2 is -0.25.

The slope of tangent is -0.25 and the tangent passes through the point (2,0.25).

Using point slope form the equation of tangent is

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y-0.25=-0.25(x-2)$

$y-0.25=-0.25x+0.5$

$y=-0.25x+0.5+0.25$

$y=-0.25x+0.75$

Therefore the equation of the tangent line at x=2 is y=-0.25x+0.75.
