We know that the line is tangent at the point (2,8)

The derivative of the function at x=2 is

f'(x) = 6-2x \implies f'(2) = 6-4=2

So, the tangent line passes through the point (2,8) and has slope 2. The equation is

y-8 = 2(x-2) \iff y = 2x+4

This line crosses the x axis where y=0:

0 = 2x+4 \iff 2x = -4 \iff x = -2

EASY MATH QUESTION! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! (MUST EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT YOUR ANSWER!) By the end of the first quarter of a football
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

+73 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have the first two quarters, we can simply work out the yardage for each game and add them together to get the total.

42-9 = 33 (first game)

58-18 = 40 (second game)

Therefore his total yardage was +73.
