REY [17]3 years ago

The slope of a function at a point is the value of its derivative there.

... f'(x) = 5·(2x) + 0 = 10x . . . . . . using the power rule: (d/dx)(xⁿ) = n·xⁿ⁻¹

Then

... f'(4) = 10·4 = 40 . . . . . the slope at x=4

Suppose that we don't have a formula for g ( x ) g(x) but we know that g ( 1 ) = − 1 g(1)=-1 and g ' ( x ) = √ x 2 + 15 g′(x)=x2
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

g(0.9) ≈ -2.6

g(1.1) ≈ 0.6

For 1.1 the estimation is a bit too high and for 0.9 it is too low.

Step-by-step explanation:

For values of x near 1 we can estimate g(x) with t(x) = g'(1) (x-1) + g(1). Note that g'(1) = 1²+15 = 16, and for values near one g'(x) is increasing because x² is increasing for positive values. This means that the tangent line t(x) will be above the graph of g, and the estimates we will make are a bit too big for values at the right of 1, like 1.1, and they will be too low for values at the left like 0.9.

For 0.9, we estimate

g(0.9) ≈ 16* (-0.1) -1 = -2.6

g(1.1) ≈ 16* 0.1 -1 = 0.6

Angles R and S are complementary. If angle R is = 4x - 20 and angle S = 6x - 7, then angle R measures ___ degrees.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

26.8°

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 20 + 6x - 7 = 90

10x -27 =90

10x = 90+27

10x= 117

x = 11.7

so, the angle R = 4x-20 =4(11.7)-20

= 46.8-20 = 26.8°
