It Should be 15/x for what I see in my notes
y = 7x - 3
Note the gradient of the tangent is the derivative of y at x = 1
Differentiate using the power rule
(a
) = na
y = 3x³ - x² + 2
= 9x² - 2x
x = 1 :
= 9 - 2 = 7 ← gradient of tangent
equation in point- slope form, using m = 7 and (a, b) = (1, 4)
y - 4 = 7(x - 1) ← point-slope form
y - 4 = 7x - 7
y = 7x - 3 ← in slope-intercept form
Answer:
Q is not the midpoint of PR
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
If Q is the midpoint of PR
then
PQ=QR
substitute the given values and solve for x

Remember that
----> given problem

substitute the value of x



Compare with the given value of PR

therefore
Q is not the midpoint of PR
Answer is a. 2
3 - 2x= -7
- 2x = -4
x = 2
