Find the difference, so subtract the two and you should get the answer from earth to Venus
a. Given that y = f(x) and f(0) = -2, by the fundamental theorem of calculus we have

Evaluate the integral to solve for y :



Use the other known value, f(2) = 18, to solve for k :

Then the curve C has equation

b. Any tangent to the curve C at a point (a, f(a)) has slope equal to the derivative of y at that point:

The slope of the given tangent line
is 1. Solve for a :

so we know there exists a tangent to C with slope 1. When x = -1/3, we have y = f(-1/3) = -67/27; when x = -1, we have y = f(-1) = -3. This means the tangent line must meet C at either (-1/3, -67/27) or (-1, -3).
Decide which of these points is correct:

So, the point of contact between the tangent line and C is (-1, -3).
<span>x 2 3 4
f(x) 5.5 7 8.5 </span>
The first function is linear. When you subtract 5.5 from 7, you get 1.5 and when you subtract 7 from 8.5 you also get 1.5. That's how we know it's a linear function because there's clearly pattern. HOWEVER, if you had 5.5, 7, and 9 that would not be a linear function. Why? Because when you take away 7 from 9 you get 2. In order for it to be a linear function you have to get the same exact number when you subtract.
<span>x 0 3 6
f(x) 1 8 64</span>
The second function is exponential because when you divide you get the exact same number. 8/1 = 8 and 64/8 = 8. So this is exponential. But if you had 72 instead of 64 it would not be an exponential function because there has to be a pattern.
I hope this makes sense. Btw I had this question on my test too and this is correct.
