its b :) then can i help you
Are there any multiple choice answers?
<u>Answer</u>: 12.5 cm or 125 mm
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given: 





Conversion:
1 cm --> 10 mm
12.5 cm --> ( 12.5 * 10 ) mm
12.5 cm --> 125 mm
(3) Differentiating both sides of

with respect to <em>x</em> gives

Solve for d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> :

Then the slope of the tangent line to the curve at (1, 9) is

The equation of the tangent line would then be
<em>y</em> - 9 = -2/3 (<em>x</em> - 1) ==> <em>y</em> = -2/3 <em>x</em> + 29/3
(4) The slope of the tangent line to

at a point <em>(x, y)</em> on the curve is

When <em>x</em> = -1, we have a slope of 2/3, so
-(2<em>a</em> + 1)/(-1 - 2)² = 2/3
Solve for <em>a</em> :
-(2<em>a</em> + 1)/9 = 2/3
2<em>a</em> + 1 = -18/3 = -6
2<em>a</em> = -7
<em>a</em> = -7/2
