Answer:

m=-14/11

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope use the formula: y2-y1/x2-x1

(8--16)/(-1-10)

14/-11

=-14/11

Erica solved the equation −5x − 25 = 78; her work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. (5 points) −5x − 25
Fofino [41]

Answer:

x = -20.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: −5x − 25 − 25 = 78 − 25

Should be

Step 1: -5x-25+25=78+25

Step 2: -5x=103

Step 3: Divide both sides by -5: x = -20.6

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.

Shelly can cut a lawn with a riding mower in 22 hours less time than it takes william to cut the lawn with a push mower. if they
umka2103 [35]
Let n be the amount of time it takes william to cut the lawn. Then Shelly takes
n-2 hours. So:
1/n+1/n-2=1/3
3(n-2)+3n=n²-2n
6n-6=n²-2n
n²-8n+6=0
Using the quadratic formula, we get a positive value of 7.1623 hrs as the amount of time william takes working alone, and 5.1623 as the amount  of time Shelly takes working alone
