For this case we must simplify the following expression:

We eliminate the parentheses taking into account that:

We add similar terms taking into account that:
Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.
Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

Answer:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To isolate <em>a</em>, we add -3.75 to both sides.
<em>a</em>-(-3.75)=6.11
<em>a</em>-(-3.75)<u><em>+(-3.75)</em></u>=6.11<u><em>+(-3.75)</em></u>
<em>a</em>=6.11<em><u>+(-3.75)</u></em> Simplifying, we get:
<em>a</em>=2.36

Step-by-step explanation:
This seems to be calculus 1.
<u>Question a</u>
We have 
m = slope = derivative
Find the derivative / slope of 
We do this by differentiating the polynomials. There are a few methods to do this but I am going to use the power rule, which we multiply the constant by the exponent on the variable and subtract one from the exponent.


when x = a
<em>Now that we have this information, we can answer question b</em>
<u>Question b</u>
<u>The tangent line for Point (1, 12)</u>
First find the slope by using our derivative.

Now that we have our slope, use point slope form to find our tangent line


<u>Now lets do the same for the Point (2, 13)</u>
Find the slope at the point.
Now find the tangent line using point slope form of a line.


Now graph the lines, which I have done and you can see by viewing the image I have attached.
Im pretty sure the answer is D, because if i used the right formula,

you should get this in the formula


a 2 subtracting a negative 6 makes it a positive, meaning your just adding 6 plus2, to get 8
