\bf \textit{area of a rectangle}\\\\
A=lw\quad 
\begin{cases}
l=length\\
w=width\\
-----\\
A=285
\end{cases}\implies 285=lw\implies \boxed{\cfrac{285}{w}=l}
\\\\\\
\textit{perimeter of a rectangle}\\\\
P=2(l+w)\quad 
\begin{cases}
l=\frac{285}{w}\\\\
P=68
\end{cases}\implies 68=2\left( \boxed{\cfrac{285}{w}}+w \right)
\\\\\\
\cfrac{68}{2}=\cfrac{285}{w}+w\implies 34=\cfrac{285+w^2}{w}\implies 34w=285+w^2

\bf 0=w^2-34w+285\implies 0=(w-19)(w-15)\implies w=
\begin{cases}
19\\
15
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{lenght}{l}=
\begin{cases}
\frac{285}{19}\implies &15\\\\
\frac{285}{15}\implies &19
\end{cases}

Find the point on the graph of the given function at which the slope of the tangent line is the given slope.
mezya [45]

Answer:

A ( -2 , 9 )

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Idea:</u> You find the first derivative of f(x), and then set it equal to the desired slope. You'll find some x. That we will use to find the point.

f'(x) = 3x^2 + 12x + 20

f'(x) = 8

3x^2 + 12x + 20 = 8

3x^2 + 12x + 12 = 0

3 ( x^2 + 4x + 4 ) = 0

3 ( x + 2 )^2 = 0

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

So, the desired point is:

A ( -2, f(-2) ) --> A ( -2 , 9 )
