Answer:
For this exercise we need to solve the next equation:
3 +6x = 2x + 27
We can start substracting 3 at both sides:
3 + 6x - 2 = 2x + 27 - 3
6x = 2x + 25
And then, we can substract 2x::
6x - 2x = 2x + 24 - 2x
4x = 25
Then, we divide by 4:
4x/4 = 24/4
x = 24/4 = 6
Now, we can see if we have done it correctly:
3 + 6*6 = 39
2 * 6 + 27 = 39
And we have seen our result is correct
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
given a point
the equation of a line with slope m that passes through the given point is
or equivalently
.
Recall that a line of the form
, the y intercept is b and the x intercept is
.
So, in our case, the y intercept is
and the x intercept is
.
In our case, we know that the line is tangent to the graph of 1/x. So consider a point over the graph
. Which means that 
The slope of the tangent line is given by the derivative of the function evaluated at
. Using the properties of derivatives, we get
. So evaluated at
we get 
Replacing the values in our previous findings we get that the y intercept is

The x intercept is

The triangle in consideration has height
and base
. So the area is

So regardless of the point we take on the graph, the area of the triangle is always 2.
