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:

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

Find the derrivative please

Trava [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will need to use the product rule:

$h(x) = f(x)g(x)$

$h'(x) = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x)$

In this problem, $f(x) = x^{3}$ and $g(x) = \sqrt{2x + 3}$

Finding the derivative of each gives us the following:

$f'(x) = 3x^{2}$

$g'(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2x + 3}}$

Plugging these values into the product rule gives us the final derivative:

$y'(x) = 3x^{2}\sqrt{2x + 3} + \frac{x^{3}}{\sqrt{2x + 3}}$

Describe how to use the Vertical Line Test and what it can tell us.

tia_tia [17]

Answer: To use the Vertical Line Test, you draw a line parallel to the y-axis for any value of x and if the line intersects the curve graphed, then the curve is not a function. We use Vertical Line Tests to see if curves are functions.

Find the value of x. 7, 8, and 9 please!

natima [27]

Answer:

7) x= 5, 8) x= 6, 9) x= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the secant theoram, if two secant intersect outside the circle then the product of the exterior secant and total length of each secant are equal.

7) ∴ $(x+3)\times 3= (10+2)\times 2$
