NO ONE CAN ANSWER THIS :(( WILL GIVE MEDALS TO ALL WHO TRY

OpenStudy (31356):

Wow, that is hard. I wish I can help you though. What subject of Math is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just calculus. i have no idea where to begin i tried plugging in the x variable into the original equation

OpenStudy (31356):

Oh okay, sorry haven't been to Calculus I am just learning Algebra

OpenStudy (31356):

Are you good at Algebra 1?

OpenStudy (31356):

@kahsdf ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I have a couple of exams to study for. I can't help any of your problems atm.

OpenStudy (31356):

Oh

OpenStudy (leoray):

Is that the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question that needs to be answered has ????? in the answer box

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to plug in 4 into the first derivative i.e. y'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the problem is that i am retarded and can't put the 4=x into y=mx+b form. I was trying for the longest time with point slope but just can't do the calculation

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\[\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{y}=11\] \(\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}}+\frac{1}{2}y^{-\frac{1}{2}}\frac{dy}{dx}=0\) so \(\frac{1}{2}y^{-\frac{1}{2}}y'=-\frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}}\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

when \(x=4\) \(y=81\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so y'(4) = -9/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

everything else is correct in this problem...so y'(x)=-sqrt(y)/sqrt(x) its not 81, have a medal tho for trying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok -9/2 is good thanks

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help me with one last problem?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

again another problem involving point slope

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

hmm i didnt use point slope at all on that...

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

its not loading

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant this one involves point slope i believe. my brains is kind of fried from doing calc all day, was working on related rates ughh..interesting though

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

hmm I dont know if it is me, but its not loading. Just keeps trying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know sorry

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

plug in 1 for x, and what do you get?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

in the f'....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2(13)^(-1/2)*(13)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\(\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}\) i do believe?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

those are equivalent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i know how to proceed from here thanks a million!!

OpenStudy (isaiah.feynman):

@kahsdf Those problems are long not difficult. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's why they are tricky.. lots of simple mistakes can be made

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so this is your slope. so \(y = mx+b \implies y=\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}x+b\)use the point given \(\sqrt{13}=\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}*1+b\) so \(b=\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}\) so \(\large y = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}x+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

oh, sorry. I didn't see that you had it from here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its all good i appreciate the help
