What is meant by tangent?

A plane or straight line that meets a curve or curved surface at a particular place but does not cross it when extended.

Given function is f(x)=4-2secx

We can write it as

y=4-2secx

The slope of the tangent to this curve is:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} =-2secx*tanx[/tex]

Given that the tangent is horizontal, which means that the slope is zero.

-2secx*tanx =0 when x is multiples of [tex]\pi[/tex].

So we can take x=0, [tex]\pi[/tex], -[tex]\pi[/tex].

When x=0 ⇒ y=4-2sec0

⇒y=2

When x=π ⇒ y=4-2secπ

y=6

When x=-π⇒ y=4-2sec(-π)

y=6

Therefore the exact coordinates of points where the horizontal tangent exists are:

Solving a quadratic equation, we will see that the object will hit the ground after 5.9 seconds.

The equation for the vertical movement of an object will be:

H(t) = -16*t^2 + v0*t + h0

Where v0 is the initial velicity, in this case 85ft/s, and h0 is the initial height,  55ft.

Then the height equation is:

H(t) = -16*t^2 + 85*t + 55

The object will hit the ground when the height is equal to zero, then we need to solve:

-16*t^2 + 85*t + 55 = 0

Using the quadratic formula we will get:

[tex]t = \frac{-85 \pm \sqrt{(85)^2 - 4*(-16)*55} }{2*-16} \\\\t = \frac{-85 \pm 103.7 }{-32}[/tex]

Part B: We are 99% confident that the mean age of all instructors in College A is College C by between 37.36368 and 54.63632 years old.

Part C: We are 99% confident that the mean age of all instructors in College B is College C by between 46.24672 and 57.75328 years old.

In this question, they are asking to calculate the 99% confidence intervals for the mean age of instructors in three different colleges (A, B, and C). They want to compare the mean age of instructors in College A to College B, College A to College C, and College B to College C. The numeric answers should be rounded to 5 decimal places.

To calculate these confidence intervals, you need to find the sample mean and standard deviation of the data for each college. Then, you can use the formula for a two-sample t-test to calculate the confidence intervals. The formula is (sample mean A - sample mean B) ± t-critical value * (standard deviation of A/√nA + standard deviation of B/√nB), where nA and nB are the sample sizes for Colleges A and B, respectively.

Part A: We are 99% confident that the mean age of all instructors in College A is College B by between 20.81733 and 23.72867.

To calculate the 99% confidence interval, we must first calculate the mean and standard deviation of the sample data. The mean age of all instructors in College A is 22.273 and the standard deviation is 1.936.

Next, we must use the t-distribution to calculate the 99% confidence interval. The critical value is 2.228. The confidence interval is calculated as follows:

Lower Bound = 22.273 - (2.228 x 1.936) = 20.81733

Upper Bound = 22.273 + (2.228 x 1.936) = 23.72867

The average rate of change of a function on an interval [x, x + h] is given by the formula:

(F(x + h) - F(x)) / h

For the function F(x) = 6x^2 + 5, the average rate of change on the interval [x, x + h] is:

(F(x + h) - F(x)) / h = (6(x + h)^2 + 5 - (6x^2 + 5)) / h = (6(x^2 + 2xh + h^2) - 6x^2 + 5) / h = (6(2xh + h^2)) / h = (12xh + 6h^2) / h

The  total manufacturing costs for each factory are to be the same is M = 3318.52.

Let's denote the number of pairs of jeans produced at the Medney factory as M, and the number of pairs of jeans produced at the Selbourne factory as S.

Total cost of production at the Medney factory = Total cost of production at the Selbourne factory

28000 + 30M = 35200 + 24S

Total number of pairs of jeans produced = 6000

M + S = 6000

We can solve for M and S by using substitution or elimination. Here, we will use substitution:

M + S = 6000 (from equation 2)

M = 6000 - S (subtracting S from both sides)

28000 + 30M = 35200 + 24S (from equation 1)

Substituting M = 6000 - S:

28000 + 30(6000 - S) = 35200 + 24S

180000 - 30S = 35200 + 24S

180000 = 54S + 35200

54S = 144800

S = 2681.48

So the number of pairs of jeans produced at the Selbourne factory is approximately 2681.48. To find the number of pairs of jeans produced at the Medney factory, we can substitute this value of S back into equation 2:

M + S = 6000

M + 2681.48 = 6000

M = 3318.52

So the number of pairs of jeans produced at the Medney factory is approximately 3318.52.

The evaluation of the cubic function represented by the graph can be presented as follows;

a. The equation of the function, S = a·t³ + b·t² + c·t + d, indicates that the equation is a cubic equation

b. i. d = -5

ii. The three equations are;

a + b + c = 8...(1)

8·a + 4·b + 2·c = 4...(2)

27·a + 9·b + 3·c = 0...(3)

iii. a = 2, b = -12, and c = 18

c. The student is expected to be in debt for 2 years, 4 months and 3 days

A cubic function is a degree three polynomial that can be expressed in the form; f(x) = a·x³ + b·x² + c·x + d.

The specified function can be presented as follows;

S = a·t³ + b·t² + c·t + d

a. A feature of the graph that indicates that a cubic equation is the appropriate model, is the largest power of the input time variable t in the function is 3, which is the same as the power of a cubic function.

b. i. The value of d can be found by plugging in t = 0, in the function; S = a·t³ + b·t² + c·t + d

From the table in the question, we get;

At t = 0, S = -5

Therefore;

S = a×0³ + b×0² + c×0 + d = -5

d = -5

The value of d = -5

b. ii. The simultaneous equations can be obtained by plugging in the values of t from the table into the function for S as follows;

S = a·t³ + b·t² + c·t + d

S = a·t³ + b·t² + c·t - 5

When t = 1, we get;

S = a·1³ + b·1² + c·1 - 5 = 3

a + b + c - 5 = 3

a + b + c = 3 + 5 = 8

When t = 2, we get;

S = a·2³ + b·2² + c·2 - 5 = 3

8·a + 4·b + 2·c - 5 = -1

8·a + 4·b + 2·c = -1 + 5 = 4

When t = 3, we get;

S = a·3³ + b·3² + c·3 - 5 = 3

27·a + 9·b + 3·c - 5 = -5

27·a + 9·b + 3·c = -5 + 5 = 0

iii. Solving the system of equations using a graphing calculator, indicates that we get;

c. Plugging in the values into the specified equation, we get;

S = 2·t³ - 12·t² + 18·t - 5

The solution of the above equation can be found as follows;

2·t³ - 12·t² + 18·t - 5 = 0

Based on an online tool, the Newton Raphson method indicates that a solution of the equation is; t ≈ 0.35821, which indicates that a factor of the equation, 2·t³ - 12·t² + 18·t - 5 = 0 is; (x - 0.35821)

(2·t³ - 12·t² + 18·t - 5) ÷ (x - 0.35821) ≈ 2·t² - 11.28356·t + 13.95804

The other solutions are therefore;

t ≈ 1.83, and t ≈ 3.81

The student is expected to be in debt at time t = 0, and from the graph, cross the x-axis out of depth first at time, t ≈ 0.35821 of a year

Velocity of rock when it hits the ground is -22.9955152 ft/s

Velocity is the directional speed of an object in motion as an indication of its rate of change in position as observed from a particular frame of reference and as measured by a particular standard of time

Its position function is s(t) = –25t² + 1.86t

When it reaches back ground s(t) = 25 m/s

Substituting

               s(t) = –25t² + 1.86t = 25

Using the quadratic formula (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a

(-1.86 ±√1.86-4*25*-25)2*25

(-1.86 ±√1.7298+625)50

(-1.86 ±√626.7298)/50

(-1.86÷25)50

(-1.86+25)50 or( -1.86 -25)50

48.14/50 = 0.9628

This figure is taken because its positive

Time = 0.9628 seconds

Now we need to find velocity when it reaches ground, that is velocity after 0.9628 seconds.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a standard quadratic equation in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a = 1, b = -5 and c = 6. To solve for x, you can use the quadratic formula:

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

Where ± represents the positive and negative square root, and the expression under the square root is called the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac).

So, substituting the values for a, b, and c, we have:

x = (-(-5) ± √((-5)^2 - 4 * 1 * 6)) / 2 * 1

x = (5 ± √(25 - 24)) / 2

x = (5 ± √1) / 2

Since the square root of 1 is 1, the two solutions are:

x = (5 + 1) / 2 = 3

x = (5 - 1) / 2 = 2

So, the solutions to the equation x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 are x = 2 and x = 3.

The distance covered by the object is equal to the product of the speed at which the object is moving and time taken for covering the distance.

Distance = Time × Speed

To find how long it would take each elevator to reach ground level, we can set h = 0 in the given expressions for their travel times:

Elevator A:  

= 0.8h + 16

= 0.8(0) + 16

= 16 seconds

Elevator B:  

= -0.8h + 12

= -0.8(0) + 12
= 12 seconds

Therefore, elevator A would take 16 seconds and elevator B would take 12 seconds to reach ground level at this time.

To find at what height the elevators pass each other, we can set their travel times equal to each other and solve for h:

0.8h + 16 = -0.8h + 12

1.6h = -4

h = -2.5

Now, we can substitute value of h in the expression

Elevator A:

= 0.8(-2.5) + 16

= 14 seconds

Elevator B:

= -0.8(-2.5) + 12

Using sine law and cosine law, s is 13.6 units and T is 37.7 degrees while U is 59.3 degrees

The Law of Cosines, also known as the Cosine Formula, is a fundamental mathematical relationship between the sides and angles of a triangle. It states that the dot product of two sides of a triangle is equal to the product of the third side and the cosine of the angle between the two sides.

The general form of the Law of Cosines is:

C^2 = A^2 + B^2 - 2ABcos(C)

where C is the angle between sides A and B, and A, B, and C are the lengths of the sides of the triangle. The formula can be rearranged to solve for any one of the sides or angles given the other two.

In this problem, we can easily solve for s.

s² = 8² + 12² - 2(8)(12)cos83

s² = 184.601

s = √184.601

s = 13.6 units

The value of angle T is calculated using sine law;

13.6 / sin 83 = 8 / sin T

sin T = 8(sin 83) / 13.6

sin T = 0.58385

T = sin⁻¹(0.58385)

T = 37.7°

Using sum of angle in a triangle;

[tex]5 \dfrac{3}{8} = \dfrac{5\times 8 + 3}{8} = \dfrac{43}{8}[/tex]

Therefore we get:
[tex]\dfrac{7}{9} + x = 5\dfrac{3}{8}\\\\\dfrac{7}{9} + x = \dfrac{43}{8}\\\\[/tex]

Subtract  [tex]\dfrac{7}{9}[/tex]  on both sides to isolate x:

[tex]\dfrac{7}{9} - \dfrac{7}{9} + x = \dfrac{43}{8} - \dfrac{7}{9}[/tex]

[tex]x = \dfrac{43}{8} - \dfrac{7}{9}[/tex]

To compute the right side
