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 (4, 2), we know that (4, 2) 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.

Apsychology student wishes to investigate differences in political opinions between business majors and political science majors at her college. she randomly selects 100 students from the 260 business majors and 100 students from the 180 political science majors. does this sampling plan result in a simple random sample? why or why not? no, because each group of 200 students in the sample does not have the same chance of being selected. yes, because each group of 200 students in the sample has the same chance of being selected. no, because each individual student does not have an equal chance of being selected. yes, because each individual student has the same chance of being selected.
