Answer:

slope = - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Differentiating implicitly with respect to x

2x + 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 0

2y \frac{dy}{dx} = - 2x

\frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{2x}{2y} = - \frac{x}{y}

\frac{dy}{dx} is the measure of the slope of the tangent

rearrange equation to find corresponding y-coordinate of x = - 2

y² = 16 - 4 = 12 = 2\sqrt{3} ⇒ y = ± 2\sqrt{3}

using x = - 2, y = - 2\sqrt{3}, then

\frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } = - \frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}

Solve for p 9(p-4)=-18
ella [17]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>p = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

9(p-4)=-18

First expand the terms in the bracket

that's

9p - 36 = - 18

Group like terms

Send the constants to the right side of the equation

That's

9p = - 18 + 36

9p = 18

Divide both sides by 9

That's

9p/9 = 18/9

We have the final answer as

<h3>p = 2</h3>

Hope this helps you

Answer:

64,26

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees

The box means its is a 90 degree angle

90 + 2x+ x-6 = 180

Combine like terms

84+3x = 180

Subtract 84 from each side

84+3x-84 = 180-84

3x=96

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 96/3

x = 32

The top angle is

2x = 2*32 = 64

The bottom right angle is x-6

32-6 = 26

The floorplan of a house is shown below. The lengths of the house’s sides are given; the length of the left side is unknown. The
solniwko [45]

●Perimeter= 160 ft

●All sides are given except the left side

●Left side is x

So, 30 + 10 + 45+ 15 + x = 160ft

135 ft+ x= 160ft

X feet= 160 - 135

= 25 ft

ANS= 25 FEET
