Yet another calculus question :)
Given [tex]y = x^3 - 2x[/tex] for [tex]x \geq 0[/tex], find the equation of the tangent line to y where the absolute value of the slope is minimized.
I have tried taking both the first and second derivatives and setting them equal to 0 and using that as the answer, but they're incorrect. Could somebody please explain how to complete the question correctly? Thank you so much!
Answer: y = (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3)
This is the same as writing [tex]y = -\frac{4}{3}\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}[/tex]
============================================================
Explanation:
The phrasing "where the absolute value of the slope is minimized" is an interesting way of saying "the tangent slope is 0". This is because absolute values are never negative, so the smallest it can get is 0.
Your teacher has given you
y = x^3 - 2x
which differentiates into
dy/dx = 3x^2 - 2
after using the power rule
The derivative function lets us determine the slope of the tangent. The slope is the dy/dx value. Since we want a slope of 0, we'll set 3x^2-2 equal to zero and solve for x. So you have the correct idea, but you won't involve the second derivative.
dy/dx = 0
3x^2 - 2 = 0
3x^2 = 2
x^2 = 2/3
x = sqrt(2/3)
Notice how I'm ignoring the negative version of this root. This is due to the fact that [tex]x \ge 0[/tex]
-------------------------
Now plug this x value back into the original equation to find its corresponding y coordinate.
y = x^3 - 2x
y = x(x^2 - 2)
y = sqrt(2/3)*( 2/3 - 2 )
y = sqrt(2/3)*( -4/3 )
y = (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3)
Note that x = sqrt(2/3) leads to x^2 = 2/3 after squaring both sides.
-------------------------
Therefore, the equation of this tangent line is y = (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3)
All horizontal lines are of the form y = k, for some constant k. This constant value is basically what number you want the horizontal line to go through on the y axis. That number would be (-4/3)*sqrt(2/3).
In the following diagram, BAC = 46 degrees, and AD is the bisector of BAC. Find BDA
Answer:
67 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a right triangle with the following known values:
B = 90
A = 23 (46/2=23 since AD is the angle bisector)
D = ?
180 = 90 + 23 + D and we solve
67 = D
what is the equation of the axis of symmetry do the quadratic function f(x) = -(x+4) (x-1)
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The zeros of the function are the values of x that make the factors zero:
x = -4, x = 1
The axis of symmetry is the vertical line halfway between these zeros.
x = (-4 +1)/2 = -3/2
The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -3/2.
Steve works two different jobs for a total of 60 hours every Monday through Friday schedule is the same each day and he works three hours a day at his first job how many hours a day does he work at his second job
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Steve works:
- 60 hour per week = 12 hours per day (60/5)
- first job: 3 hours per day = 15 hours per week
- x = second job hours per day
equitation:
1st option to calculate:
12 (total hours per day) = 3 (hours per day on first job) + X
9 = X
2nd option to calculate:
60(total hours per week) = 15 (3 hours per day x 5) + x
45 = x
you need to divide 45 / 5 to get the daily hours which is 9

Find the 8th term of the geometric sequence 7,−21,63,
Answer:
8th term is -15309
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]{ \boxed{ \bf{u_{n} = a( {r}^{n - 1} ) }}} \\ { \tt{u_{8} = 7( {( - 3)}^{8 - 1}) }} \\ { \tt{u_{8} = 7( - 2187)}} \\ { \tt{u _{8} = - 15309}}[/tex]
r is the common difference, r = -21/7 = -3
Answer:
a₈ = - 15309
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of a geometric sequence is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ [tex](r)^{n-1}[/tex]
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 7 and r = [tex]\frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-21}{7}[/tex] = - 3 , then
a₈ = 7 × [tex](-3)^{7}[/tex] = 7 × - 2187 = - 15309

Step-by-step explanation:
please help geometry surface area
Answer: 159
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the surface area of two triangles and 3 rectangles
To find the surface areas of the triangles, we use the formula: base x height / 2
6 x 5.5 / 2 = 16.5
Multiply that by 2 since there are 2 of them
16.5 x 2 = 33
To find the surface area of the rectangles, we multiply the length and width
7 x 6 = 42
Multiply that by 3 since there are 3 of them
42 x 3 = 126
Add up all the surface areas
126 + 33 = 159

We know that the determinant of a matrix when multiplied by a scalar is found by
det ( a A) =a^n * det (A)
The scalar in this case is 2 and n is the number of rows ( or columns) since the matrix must be square
det (2A) = 2^3 det(A) = 8A

125 + (a-b)³ help me
Answer:
(5 + a - b)(a² + b² - 2ab - 5a + 5b + 25)
Step-by-step explanation:
125 + (a - b)³ ← is a sum of cubes and factors in general as
a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)
Then
125 + (a- b)³
= 5³ + (a - b)³
with a = 5 and b = (a - b)
= (5 a a - b)(5² - 5(a - b) + (a - b)² )
= (5 + a - b)(25 - 5a + 5b + a² - 2ab + b²)
= (5 + a - b)(a² + b² - 2ab - 5a + 5b + 25)
Hey can someone help me figure out what 3/4(x-8)=12
Answer:
x=24
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4(x-8)=12
Multiply each side by 4/3
4/3*3/4(x-8)=12*4/3
x-8 = 16
Add 8 to each side
x-8+8 = 16+8
x=24
Answer:
x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Essentially, you need to break this apart.
You need to isolate the x to figure it out with division or something.
To isolate, you need to get rid of the numbers around it.
To get rid of the 3/4, you can convert it to a decimal to make it easier, and then divide both sides by 0.75 to get rid of it on the x's side.
You now have
x-8 = 12/0.75
You can quickly punch the right side into a calculator to make it easier.
x - 8 = 16
You then add 8 to both sides to finish off the x, to get
x = 24

The height and radius of a cone are each multiplied by 11. What effect does this have on the volume of the cone?
The volume of the cone is multiplied by (Blank 1).
The volume of the new cone would be 1331 times more than the volume of the original cone. Thus, The volume of the original cone is multiplied by 1331
The volume of the cone can be calculated by the given formula:
The volume of cone = [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h[/tex]
where r = radius of the cone
h = height of the cone
Solution:
The volume of the original cone= .......1
It is given that the height and radius of a cone are multiplied by 11.
then volume
= [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi (11r)^{2} (11h)[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi (121r^{2}) (11h)[/tex] .........2
The change in volume of the cone after multiplying 11 to r and h would be
dividing equation 2 by equation 1
= [tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi (121r^{2}) (11h)[/tex]/[tex]\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h[/tex]
= 121*11
= 1331
Thus, The volume of the original cone is multiplied by 1331
