By "y = −9x2 − 2x" I assume you meant  <span>y = −9x^2 − 2x (the "^" symbol represents exponentiation).

Let's find the first derivative of y with respect to x:  dy/dx = -18x - 2.  This is equivalent to the slope of the tangent line to the (parabolic) curve.  Now let this derivative (slope) = 0 and solve for the critical value:  -18x - 2 = 0, or
-18x = 2.  Solving for x,   x = -2/18,    or    x = -1/9.

When x = -1/9, y = -9(-1/9)^2 - 2(-1/9).  This simplifies to y = -9/9 + 2/9, or 
y = -7/9.

The only point at which the tangent to the curve is horiz. is (-1/9,-7/9).</span>

What is the square root of 5√2+√18
givi [52]
The square root of 5/2 is 2.236067978. The square root of 18 is 4.242640687. The total of 2.236067978 plus 4.242640687= 6.478708667.
If you rounded up to two decimal points. You will get 6.48. It depends what digit your question is telling you to round up to. 
Hope it helps.

Look at this net for a rectangular prism.
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the surface area = area of the 4 faces+ area of the 2 bases

4 *(15*8) + 2*( 8*6) = 480+96 = 576 cm²

if the length  of the faces tripled, the two bases remain unchanged because the prism just gets taller on the same bases.
