The answer is no, the side lengths are not persevered. <span />
(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:
<em>0.78</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are to represent 78% as a decimal
78% = 78/100
78/100 = 78 * 1/100
78/100 = 78 * 0.01
78/100 = 0.78
<em>hence the percent written as a decimal is 0.78</em>
Tell whether each question can be written in the form y = mx + b
y = 8 - x^2 NO
y = 4 + x YES
y = 3 - 2x YES
