Answer:

Slope of a tangent to the curve = f'(x) = \frac{-1 }{(x+1)^{2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - y = 1/x+1

To find - Identify each expression that represents the slope of a tangent to the curve y=1/x+1 at any point (x,y) .

Proof -

We know that,

Slope of tangent line = f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}

We have,

f(x) = y = \frac{1}{x+1}

So,

f(x+h) = \frac{1}{x+h+1}

Now,

Slope = f'(x)

And

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

∴ we get

Slope of a tangent to the curve = f'(x) = \frac{-1 }{(x+1)^{2} }

Find two positive numbers whose product is 36 and whose sum is a minimum.
alukav5142 [94]
Let one of the numbers be x. The other number cab then be represented as 36-x (x+36-x = 36).
The product can then be represented as y = x(36-x) or y=36x-x2

The maximum or minimum is always on the axis of symmetry which has the formula x=-b/2a.
In our case, the axis of symmetry is -36/-2, so x=18.

If one number is 18 and the 2 numbers add to 36, the other number is 18 as well.
So the 2 numbers are 18 and 18 and the maximum product is 324,

Fill in the blank: In data analytics, a _____ refers to all possible data values in a certain dataset
earnstyle [38]

In data analytics, a p<u>opulation </u>refers to all possible data values in a certain dataset

Data analysis is a systematic computer-aided analysis of data or statistics. [1] It is used to discover, interpret, and convey meaningful patterns in the data. It also includes applying data patterns for effective decision-making.

It may be useful in areas where there is a lot of recorded information. The analysis relies on the simultaneous application of statistics, computer programming, and operations research to quantify performance.

Organizations can apply analytics to business data to describe, predict, and improve business performance. Areas within the analysis include descriptive analysis, diagnostic analysis, predictive analysis, prescriptive analysis, and cognitive analysis in particular. [2] Analysis can be applied in various fields such as marketing, management, finance, online systems, information security, and software services.

Len [333]

Answer:

  C)  a positive correlation

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>More people ⇒ Longer time</em> is a positive correlation between those variables. However, <em>longer time</em> is not the desired outcome.

Rather, <em>shorter time</em> is the desired outcome. The correlation between <em>more people</em> and <em>shorter time</em> is negative. In order to compute that correlation numerically, one would have to define a function that would give a numerical value for "shorter time" that would model the goodness of outcome as time gets shorter.
