7 0

Answer:

Tim has -8 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

15 - 23

Another way to solve for this is reversing the order the numbers are shown:

23 - 15

Just remember the answer will be negative because Tim is losing more points than he originally had.

-8

Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides.

6a+3−3=45−3

6a=42

Step 2: Divide both sides by 6.

6a /6 = 42 /6

Find an equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola y = 3/x at the point (3, 1).

Vesna [10]

Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation. We already have an x and y value. The derivative is found this way: $y'= \frac{x(0)-3(1)}{x^2}$ so $y'=- \frac{3}{x^2}$ . The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation. Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is: $y'=- \frac{3}{3^2}=- \frac{3}{9}=- \frac{1}{3}$ . So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3. Use these values to solve for b. $1=- \frac{1}{3}(3)+b$ so b = 2. The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is $y=- \frac{1}{3}x+2$
