Show whether or not y=x+3 is tangential to the curve y^2=x​

The line y = x + 3 has slope 1, so we look for points on the curve where the tangent line, whose slope is dy/dx, is equal to 1.

y² = x

Take the derivative of both sides with respect to x, assuming y = y(x) :

2y dy/dx = 1

dy/dx = 1/(2y)

Solve for y when dy/dx = 1 :

1 = 1/(2y)

2y = 1

y = 1/2

When y = 1/2, we have x = y² = (1/2)² = 1/4. However, for the given line, when y = 1/2, we have x = y - 3 = 1/2 - 3 = -5/2.

This means the line y = x + 3 is not a tangent to the curve y² = x. In fact, the line never even touches y² = x :

x = y²   ⇒   y = y² + 3   ⇒   y² - y + 3 = 0

has no real solution for y.

Answer:

area = 144\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

volume =  \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3}  \\  \\ 288\pi =  \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3} \\  \\ 3(288\pi) = 4\pi {r}^{3} \\  \\  \frac{3(288\pi)}{4\pi}  =  {r}^{3}  \\  \\ 216 =  {r}^{3}  \\  \\ r =  \sqrt[3]{216}  \\ r = 6

area = 4\pi {r}^{2}  \\ area = 4\pi ({6}^{2})  \\ area = 144\pi

Look at the question
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The better buy is the one where you get more area of pizza per dollar (area/price).

Since the problem gives diameter, we assume the pizzas are circle-shaped.

Circle Area = pi x (radius)², and radius r = 1/2 of diameter d.

*************************************************************************************

Pizza 1: d = 8 and price is $10

r = 1/2 x d = 4

Area of Pizza 1 = πr² = π(4)² = 16π

*** area/price for Pizza 1 = 16π/$10 = 1.6π area per dollar

**********************************************************************************

Pizza 2: d = 14 and price is $16

r = 1/2 x d = 7

Area of Pizza 2 = πr² = π(7)² = 49π

*** area/price for Pizza 2 = 49π/16 = 3.0625π area per dollar

***********************************************************************************

Pizza 2 is the better buy, with more pizza per dollar.
