Answer: 10 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
We can divide the shape along the y-axis to get 2 separate triangles. If we find the area of each and add them up, we can get the total area of the figure.
We can get each triangle's area using the formula
base length - 4 units
height - 4 units
base length - 2 units
height - 2 units
Total = 8 units² + 2 units² = 10 units²

Answer:
y = 3x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want the tangent to the parabola y = x² -3x +1 at the given point. The slope is found using the derivative of the function at that point.
y' = 2x -3
At x=3, the slope is ...
y' = 2(3) -3 = 3
The equation of the line through point (3, 1) with a slope of 3 is ...
y -1 = 3(x -3) . . . . use the point-slope form of the equation for a line
y = 3x -9 +1 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, add 1
y = 3x -8
