If: y = x+c and y = 3 -x -5x^2

Then: x+c = 3 -x-5x^2

Or: 5x^2+2x+(c-3) = 0

Using the discriminant: 2^2 -4*5*(c-3) = 0 => c-3 = -4/-20 which is 1/5

Adding 3 to both sides: c = 16/5 or 3.2

How do you find the slope of the tangent line to each curve at the given point?

By differentiating the answer and plugging in the x value along the curve, you are finding the exact slope of the curve at that point. In effect, this would be the slope of the tangent line, as a tangent line only intersects another at one point. To find the equation of a tangent line to a curve, use the point slope form (y-y1)=m(x-x1), m being the slope. Use the differential to find the slope and use the point on the curve to plug in for (x1, y1).

What is the exact point of contact when the curve of y equals x squared -10x plus 13 touches the curve of y equals x squared -4x plus 7 showing work?

If: y = x^2 -10x +13 and y = x^2 -4x +7 Then: x^2 -10x +13 = x^2 -4x +7 Transposing terms: -6x +6 = 0 => -6x = -6 => x = 1 Substituting the value of x into the original equations point of contact is at: (1, 4)

Find the equation of the tangent line at the given value y equals ln x squared at x equals 1?

Given y=LN(x2). To find the equation of a tangent line to a point on a graph, we must figure out what the slope is at that exact point. We must take the derivitave with respect to x to come up with a function that will give the slope of the tangent line at any point on the graph. Any text book will tell you that the derivative with respect to X of LN(U) is the quantity U prime over U(In other words, the derivitive of U over U. U is whatever is inside the natural log). In this case, it is y = (2x/x2). To find the slope, we then plug in an x coordinate, 1. We get y=2. The slope of the tangent line at this point is 2. We now have m for the slope-intercept form y = mx + b. Now we must find b. B is the y intercept, aka where does the graph intersect the y axis. We use the slope. We know that the graph of the tangent line contains the point (0,1). We go down 2 and left one, to find that the tangent line intercepts the y axis at -1. We now have B. The equation of the tangent line of y = LN(x2) at X = 1 is y = 2X-1. Hope this helps!!!

How do you solve 0 equals -16t squared plus 25t plus 6?

oh my god, that was the exact homework i had few days ago, but you have to have a calculator to do this. just plug in the numbers in the but ton Y=, one column you put-16t squared plus 25t plus 6 then the next column you put 0. the graph should form a parabola.
