The first one is the answer
To return back to -18°C from -10°C, you would have to lower the temperature by -8°C to compensate for the difference.
Hope that helps!
(a) mtan refers to the slope of the tangent line. Given <em>f(x)</em> = 9 + 7<em>x</em> ², compute the difference quotient:

Then as <em>h</em> approaches 0 - bearing in mind that we're specifically considering <em>h</em> <em>near</em> 0, and not <em>h</em> = 0 - we can eliminate the factor of <em>h</em> in the numerator and denominator, so that

and so the slope of the line at <em>P</em> (0, 9), for which we take <em>x</em> = 0, is 0.
(b) The equation of the tangent line is then <em>y</em> = 9.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

All of these have no x-intercepts, since x-intercepts require y to be 0. Their y-intercepts are:
(0, 4)
(0, -18)
(0, 16)
(0, -7)
respectively.
