Answer:

Tangent at (1,2) has value \frac{15}{4}. And (-2, 4) is the point of intersection of horizontal tangent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given curve equation,

y^2=x^3+3x^2\hfill (1)

To find tangent at (x,y)=(1,2) and point of intersection of horizontal tangent, differentiate (1) withrespect to x we get,

2y\frac{dy}{dx}=x^3+3x^2

\implies \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{3(x^2+2x)}{2y}

At (1, 2), tangent line is,

\frac{dy}{dx}|_{(1,2)}}=\frac{15}{4}

To find point of intersection of horizontal tangent we have to do,

\frac{dy}{dx}=0

\implies x(x+2)=0\implies x=0 or -2

Thus,

At x=0, y=0

but snce,

\lim_{y\to 0}\frac{dy}{dx}\to \infty

at (0,0) there exist a vertical tangent. And,

At x=-2, y=4.

Thus (-2, 4) is the point of intersection of horizontal tangent.

Suppose pieces of chocolate pie served at a restaurant average 350 calories with a standard deviation of 20 calories. Calories h
Over [174]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose pieces of chocolate pie served at a restaurant average 350 calories with a standard deviation of 20 calories. Calories have a Normal distribution due to inexact cutting of the pies. Which graph represents the proportion of pieces of pie that have more than 375 calories.

Answer: The z score is used to determine how many standard deviations that the raw score is above or below the mean. If the z score is positive then the raw score is above the mean and for a negative z score means the  raw score is below the mean. The z score is given as:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Given that: μ = 350 calories, σ = 20 calories, x > 375

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\\\\z=\frac{375-350}{20}=1.25

From the graph, The shaded area represents the proportion of pieces of pie that have more than 375 calories

From the normal distribution table, P(x > 375) = P(z > 1.25) = 1 - P(z < 1.25)

= 1 - 0.8944 = 0.1056 = 10.56%

What is the future value of $845 a year for seven years at an interest rate of 11.3 percent? $6,683.95 $6,075.69 $8,343.51 $8,00
k0ka [10]
The future value of cash whose initial value is $845, at the rate of 11.3% for 7 years will be calculated using the compound interest rate, that is:
A=p(1+r/100)^n
where:
A=future amount
r=rate=11.3%=0.113
time=7 years
thus the future value of our cash will be:
A=845(1+0.113)^7
A=845(1.113)^7
A=$1,787.82
