The gradient of the tangent to the curve y = ax + bx^3 at the point (2, -4) is 6.
Determine the unknowns a and b.
a=?
b=?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a = -6

b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of the tangent to the curve y = ax + bx^3, will be:

dy/dx = a + 3bx²

at (2, -4)

dy/dx = a+3b(2)²

dy/dx = a+12b

Since the gradient at the point is 6, then;

a+12b = 6 ....1

Substitute x = 2 and  y = -4 into the original expression

-4 = 2a + 8b

a + 4b = -2 ...2

a+12b = 6 ....1

Subtract

4b - 12b = -2-6

-8b = -8

b = -8/-8

b = 1

Substitute b = 1 into equation 1

Recall from 1 that a+12b = 6

a+12(1) = 6

a = 6 - 12

a = -6

Hence a = -6, b = 1

If the nominal rate of interest is 10% per annum and there is quarterly compounding, the effective rate of interest will be: a) 10% per annum b) 10.10 per annum c) 10.25%per annum d) 10.38% per annum​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  d) 10.38%

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for four quarters of quarterly compounding is ...

  (1 +10%/4)^4 = 1.025^4 = 1.103812890625

This is about 1 + 10.38%.

The effective rate of interest is about 10.38% per annum.

A. Men had less distress from nausea on average than women but we can not determine if this is a significant difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Working based on the information given, the mean values of each group with with men having an average score of 1.02 and women have an average of 1.79 this reveals that distressing nausea on average is higher in women than in men . However, to test if there is a significant difference would be challenging as the information given isn't enough to make proceed with the test as the standard deviations of the two groups aren't given and no accompanying sample data is given.

What is the slope of a roof on a house that has a vertical height of 2.4 feet from the ceiling of the top floor to the top of the pitch and a length of 8.2 feet from the center of the edge of the house?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is unclear from the phrasing what dimension 8.2 ft represents.

If 8.2 ft is the direct distance from the edge of the roof to the top of the pitch, then the horizontal distance from the edge to the top is √(8.2²-2.4²) ≅ 7.84 ft, and the slope is 2.4/7.84 ≅ 0.31

If 8.2 ft is the horizontal distance from the edge of the root to the top of the pitch, then the slope is 2.4/8.2 ≅ 0.29

The slope of a roof on a house is 0.2926 and the angle of elevation is 16.31°.

What is slope of a line?

The slope or gradient of a line is a number that describes both the direction X and Y and the steepness of the line. It is the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between any two distinct points on a line.

For the given situation,

The diagram below shows the house with the roof.

The vertical height of roof on a house, rise = 2.4 feet

The horizontal length of a roof on a house, run = 8.2 feet

The slope of a roof can be found as

[tex]Slope = \frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]slope = (\frac{2.4}{8.2} )[/tex]

⇒ [tex]slope = 0.2926[/tex]

The angle of the slope of a roof can be found as

[tex]tan \alpha =\frac{vertical height}{horizontal length}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\alpha =tan^{-1} (\frac{2.4}{8.2} )[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\alpha =tan^{-1} (0.2926)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\alpha =16.31[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the slope of a roof on a house is 0.2926 and the angle of elevation is 16.31°.

B.No, since the y-intercepts are different.
C.Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different.
D.No, since the slopes are different.

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

one line is

y = 3x/7 + 11

its slope is 3/7

the y-intercept is, of course, when x=0. there y=11

the other is

-3x + 7y = 13

7y = 3x + 13

y = 3x/7 + 13/7

its slope is 3/7 (the same as the other line)

the y-intercept (x=0) is y = 13/7 (different to the other line)

Answer:

C. Yes, since the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y=\frac{3}{7} x+11[/tex]  and [tex]-3x+7y=13[/tex]

→ Rearrange the second equation to make y the subject

7y = 3x + 13

→ Divide everything by 7

sin 45/13.06 = sin 90/x

x=18.46

Answer:

First, find the hypotenuse of the right triangle with the 60° & 30°.

Hypotenuse = hsin(x) = opposite side/hypotenuse

[tex]sin(60) = \frac{8\sqrt{2}}{h} \\\\sin(60)h=8\sqrt{2}\\\\\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} h=8\sqrt{2}\\\\h=\frac{8\sqrt{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}=8\sqrt{2}*\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} =\frac{16\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{3}} =\frac{16\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{3}) }{\sqrt{3}(\sqrt{3})} =\frac{16\sqrt{6} }{3}[/tex]

Use that side length to find x.

sin(x) = opposite side/hypotenuse

[tex]sin(45)=\frac{\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3}}{x}\\\\sin(45)x=\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3} \\\\\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}x=\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3} \\\\x=\frac{\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}=\frac{16\sqrt{6}}{3}*\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{16\sqrt{2}\sqrt{3}(2)}{3\sqrt{2} }=\frac{32\sqrt{3} }{3}[/tex]
