slope = 13
the slope of the tangent is f'( 4)
given f(x) = x² + 5x , then f'(x) = 2x + 5
and f'(4) = ( 2 × 4 ) + 5 = 13
Remember x is x and f(x) is same thing as y.
f(5) = 4
It is same thing as saying, when x = 5, y aka f(x) should be 4. Aka the point (5,4)
Let’s look at D, if x =5 then f(x)=5? No, it should equal 4. So this is wrong. It is also not linear. So NOT D
Lets look at C, if x =5 then
1/5(5)+3 =
5/5 + 3 =
1+3 =
4
So, f(x) aka y = 4. Is this correct? Yes when x =5, y indeed should equal 4, but it is not linear. So NOT C
Lets look at B, if x=5 then,
2^5 -28 =
32 - 28 =
4
So, f(x) aka y = 4. Is this correct? Yes when x =5, y indeed should equal 4, AND it is linear SO THE ANSWER IS B
Check A too, it gets y=14 so thats wrong as it is not 4.
Answer: 17 9/11
Step-by-step explanation: 5.5/3.5 = 28/x
3.5 * 28 = 98 / 5.5 = 17 9/11
