Answer:

the numbers are 67 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

let the other number be x

first number = 5x - 3

second number = x

5x - 3 + x = 81

6x = 81 +3

6x = 84

x = 84/6

x = 14

first number = 5x -3

= 5(14) -3

= 70 - 3

= 67

Second number = x

= 14

67 + 14

= 81

Answer:

It is 3⁸.

Step-by-step explanation:

xᵃ . xᵇ = x⁽ᵃ ⁺ ᵇ⁾

(xᵃ)ᵇ = xᵃᵇ

Using these two conditions we get:

$3^{-4} . (3^2)^6 = 3^{-4} . 3^{12}$

$= 3^{-4 + 12} = 3^8$

Hence, the answer is 3⁸.

Answer:

$x-4y+4=0$

$f(x)=\sqrt x$ and x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a curve

$y=\sqrt x$

We have to find the equation of tangent at point (4,2) on the given curve.

Let y=f(x)

Differentiate w.r.t x

$f'(x)=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt x}$

By using the formula $\frac{d(\sqrt x)}{dx}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt x}$

Substitute x=4

Slope of tangent

$m=f'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt 4}=\frac{1}{2\times 2}=\frac{1}{4}$

In given question

$m=\lim_{x\rightarrow a}\frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}$

$\frac{1}{4}=\lim_{x\rightarrow 4}\frac{f(x)-f(4)}{x-4}$

By comparing we get a=4

Point-slope form

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

Using the formula

The equation of tangent at point (4,2)

$y-2=\frac{1}{4}(x-4)$

$4y-8=x-4$

$x-4y-4+8=0$

$x-4y+4=0$
