Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point.
y = SQRT(x) , (16, 4)
To find the equation of a line, we need the slope of the line and a point on the line.
Since we are requested to find the equation of the tangent line at the point (16, 4), we know that (16, 4) is a point on the line. So we just need to find its slope.
The slope of a tangent line to f(x) at x = a can be found using the formula
mtan = lim x→a f(x)-f(a)/ x-a
In this situation, the function is f(x) =
and a =
Consider the parabola y = 6x − x2.

If a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 50 ft/s, its height (in feet) after t seconds is given by y = 50t− 16t2. Find the velocity when t = 2.
Let
h = s(t) = 50t − 16t2
give the height of the ball at time t.
Then the ball's velocity at time t = a can be found by
v(a) = lim t→a s(t)-s(a) / t-a
We are requested to find the velocity at t = 2; therefore we use a = and have
v(2)= Lim t→2 s(t)-s(2) / t-2
lim t→2 (50t − 16t^2) - (50()-16(2)^2) / t-2
lim t→2 (50t − 16t^2) - () / t-2
Find f '(a).
f(x) = 4x2 − 5x + 4
f'(a)=

(b) Find equations of the tangent lines at the points (1, 9) and (2, 7).
y(x) = (at the point (1, 9))
y(x) = (at the point (2, 7))
(c) Graph the curve and both tangents on a common screen.
Find f '(a).
f(t) = t4 − 5t
f '(a) =

Need now max recorded the heights of 500 male humans. he found that the heights were normally distributed around a mean of 177 centimeters. which statements about max’s data must be true? a) the median of max’s data is 250 b) more than half of the data points max recorded were 177 centimeters. c) a data point chosen at random is as likely to be above the mean as it is to be below the mean. d) every height within three standard deviations of the mean is equally likely to be chosen if a data point is selected at random.
