A 'tangent' to a line means the derivative. You can differentiate the function as follows:
f(x) = x+sin(x)
f'(x) = 1+cos(x)

At a horizontal tangent, the derivative is equal to 0. So, let's set it equal to 0, and solve for x. Remember, whenever doing trigonometry in calculus, we assume we are answering in radians. So:
f'(x) = 1+cos(x)
0 = 1+cos(x)
-1=cos(x)

The values at which cos(x) equals -1 are π, and then 3π, 5π and so on. You basically just keep adding 2π to the previous number and get the answer. So, this can be written as:
a_n = a_{(n-1)}+2 \pi

That will be your final answer. You could write this as an infinite series, but I just didn't want to complicate it. So, if you want one, I can give you one.

What percentage is $12.10 out of $58.60​
jasenka [17]

Answer:

12.10 out of 58.60 is 20.648464163822524 or 21%

Step-by-step explanation:

   work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing

   Increase = New Number - Original Number

   Divide the increase by the original number and then multiply the answer by 100

   % increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.

Whats the value of x?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

x = 8 units, measure of angle AFE = 60 degrees, measure of angle CFD = 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding x:

You know all three of the given measures add up to 180 because they are on the same side of the line. Write an equation and solve for x.

6x + 2 + 8x + 6 + 7x + 4 = 180

21x = 168 --> x = 8

Angle AFE:

Substitute the value of x in the given measure.

7x + 4 = 7*8 + 4 = 56 + 4 = 60

Measure of angle CFD:

Angle AFE is it's vertical angle, so their measures (60 degrees) are equal.

Write the function in standard form<br><br> f(x) = -4 (x - 6)^2 + 15
amid [387]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  f(x) = -4x^2 +48x -129

Step-by-step explanation:

It usually works well to compute the square first. That is, simplify according to the order of operations.

  f(x) = -4(x^2 -12x +36) +15

  f(x) = -4x^2 +48x -144 +15

  f(x) = -4x^2 +48x -129
