Provide an appropriate response.Can a tangent line to a graph intersect the graph at more than one point? If not, why not. If so, give an example.

What will be an ideal response?


Yes, a tangent line to a graph can intersect the graph at more than one point. For example, the graph  has a horizontal tangent at x = 0. It intersects the graph at both (0, 0) and (2, 0).

Provide an appropriate response.The table below describes the smoking habits of a group of asthma sufferers.If one of the 1038 subjects is randomly selected, find P(H), the probability that the person is a heavy smoker. Then find P(M), the probability that the person chosen is a man. Then find P(H ? M), the probability that the person is a heavy smoker and a man. Are the events "being a heavy smoker" and "being a man" independent? How can you tell?
