Answer:

Differentiation will give you the gradient for the tangent at any point, and you use the product rule whenever a function can be thought of as two functions multiplied together.

If

f

(

x

)

=

g

(

x

)

×

h

(

x

)

then

f

'

(

x

)

=

g

'

(

x

)

h

(

x

)

+

g

(

x

)

h

'

(

x

)

so if

y

=

x

×

sin

x

then

d

y

d

x

=

1

×

sin

x

+

x

×

cos

x

=

sin

x

+

x

cos

x

We know that

x

=

π

2

, so the gradient is

m

=

sin

(

π

2

)

+

π

2

cos

(

π

2

)

=

1

+

π

2

×

0

=

1

Therefore, we can say that

y

=

m

x

+

c

y

=

(

1

)

x

+

c

y

=

x

+

c

So all we really need to find now is the value for

c

, the

y

intercept. We do this by working out a point

(

x

,

y

)

on the graph. We are already given that

x

=

π

2

, so

y

=

x

sin

x

=

π

2

sin

(

π

2

)

=

π

2

×

1

=

π

2

∴

(

x

,

y

)

=

(

π

2

,

π

2

)

Now we substitute this into the equation we already have for the tangent,

y

=

x

+

c

,

(

x

,

y

)

=

(

π

2

,

π

2

)

π

2

=

π

2

+

c

c

=

π

2

−

π

2

=

0

∴

y

=

x

+

c

=

x

+

(

0

)

=

x

which means the tangent to the curve

y

=

x

sin

x

at

(

π

2

,

π

2

)

is simply

y

=

x

.

Find the geometric mean of the pair of numbers. Give your answer in simplest radical form.
NARA [144]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  10√5

Step-by-step explanation:

The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of their product.

  m = √(20×25) = √500 = √100 × √5

  m = 10√5

The geometric mean of 20 and 25 is 10√5.

What expression defines Sn?
frutty [35]

Answer:

Sₙ=3(1/2^n)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that in the given series that each term is being multiplied by 1/2, which is our common ratio. 3/2 is the first term because 3*1/2=3/2, so the expression that defines Sₙ is Sₙ=3(1/2^n)

Find the slope of the line that passes through G(−3, 2) and H(7, 2).
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

y=0x+2 meaning the slope is equal to 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If you think about this question you'll see that our two points have the same y coordinate

This means that the slope is equal to 0

so we have

y=0x+b  

If we plug in -3 for x and set the equation equal to 2 we can find b

0+b=2

b=2

so we have

0x+b=y

Hope this helps!
