ANSWER

EXPLANATION
Part a)
Eliminating the parameter:
The parametric equation is


From the first equation we make t the subject to get;


We put it into the second equation.


We differentiate to get;

At x=5,


The slope of the tangent is 2.
The equation of the tangent through
(5,6) is given by




Without eliminating the parameter,



At x=5,



This implies that,

The slope of the tangent is 2.
The equation of the tangent through
(5,6) is given by



Answer:
AC=16 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. It was given that diagonals AC and BD intersect at point E.
This implies that:
.
We substitute the expression for x, we get:
.
Group similar terms to get:
.
.

AC = 2(12-4x)
AC=2(12-4(1))
AC=2(8)
AC=16
Answer:
6^3=6×6×6=216. So, the answer is 6x6x6 and 216.
Answer:
<em>If more than 134 articles are produced and sold, the firm will have positive profits and shoule start production</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost, Revenue, and Profit Function
The cost function C(x) is given by

where x is the number of produced products.
The revenue function is

With both equations, we can know the profit function as



For the firm to have positive profits, it has to produce x articles with the condition

Or, equivalently

Solving for x

Thus

This means that if more than 134 articles are produced and sold, the firm will have positive profits and shoule start production
