Answer: C. 10

Explanation:

Take half right triangle from the isosceles triangle:

We get side lengths:

12/2 = 6, 8, and x

And use Pythagorean’s theorem to find x:

6^2 + 8^2 = x^2
36 + 64 = x^2
100 = x^2
10 = x

Write the expression as a product. 25-(a + 7)^2

Nastasia [14]

$25 - ({a + 7})^{2} =$

$(5 + (a + 7))(5 - (a + 7)) =$

$(a + 12)( - a - 2)$

Have a great day ♡

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

The definition of a derivative is the slope of the tangent line.

Step 1: Define

Identify.

f(-2.4) = -1

f(-1.9) = -8

Step 2: Differentiate

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m.

[Derivative] Set up [Slope Formula]: $\displaystyle f'(-2.4) \approx \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$
Substitute in coordinates: $\displaystyle f'(-2.4) \approx \frac{-8 - -1}{-1.9 - -2.4}$
Evaluate: $\displaystyle f'(-2.4) \approx -14$
