Answer:
a) -36
b) y = -36x +34
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The slope is found using the derivative of the function.
f'(x) = dy/dx = 0 -9(2x) = -18x
Then at x=2, the slope is ...
f'(2) = -18·2 = -36
___
b) The point-slope form of the equation can be written as ...
y = -36(x -2) -38
Simplifying to slope-intercept form, we get ...
y = -36x +34

A= bh 1/2
15 x 16 = 240
240/2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Write a function whose k(x) values are 5 more than four times the principal square root of x.
So,
the principal square root of x 
four times the principal square root of x 
5 more than four times the principal square root of x 
Thus,

Mrs. Annie went to a store, spent half of her money and then $10 more. She went to a second store, spent half of her remaining money and then $10 more. But she then had no money left. How much money did she have to begin with when she went to the first store?
Answer: $60
To get the answer we can use proportion.
30----------100%
12-----------x
Cross multiply now
30x=12*100%
30x=1200% /:30 (divide both sides by 30)
x=40% - it's the percentage of cars which finished the race.
100%-40%=60% - it's the answer
