Answer:

C. 38.85 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw a picture of the triangle formed by Wendy, the car, and the base of the building.  The side of the triangle opposite of the 75° angle is 145 feet.  The side of the triangle adjacent to the angle is x.  Use tangent:

tan 75 = 145 / x

x = 145 / tan 75

x = 38.85

The car is 38.85 feet from the base of the building.

A curve has the equation y = x^3 + 3x^2 − 16x + 2. a) Find an equation of the tangent to the curve at the point P (2, −10). Ive
Vesnalui [34]
The equation of the tangent to the curve at the point P(2, -10) is:
y = 8x - 26
f(x)=x^{3}+3x^{2}-16x
f'(x)=3x^{2}+6x-16
f'(2)=12+12-16=8
We need to find the coordinates of point Q where the slope of the tangent to the curve f(x) must also be 8.
f'(x)=3x^{2}+6x-16=8
Now we have a quadratic:
3x^{2}+6x-16-8=0
which simplifies to:
x^{2}+2x-8=0
which factorizes to:(x + 4)(x - 2) = 0
Therefore x = -4, 2.
f(-4) = 48
Therefore the coordinates of Q are (-4, 48).
