The equation of the tangent line to <em>W(x)</em> at <em>x</em> = 7 has all the information we need to determine <em>m'</em> (7).
When <em>x</em> = 7, the tangent line intersects with the graph of <em>W(x)</em>, and
<em>y</em> = 4.5 + 2 (7 - 7) ==> <em>y</em> = 4.5
means that this intersection occurs at the point (7, 4.5), and this in turn means <em>W</em> (7) = 4.5.
The slope of this tangent line is 2, so <em>W'</em> (7) = 2.
Then
Answer: x = 15, ∠K = 45.7°, ∠L = 45.7°, ∠M = 88.6°
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Since ∠K ≅ ∠L, then ΔKLM is an isoceles triangle with base KL
KM ≅ LM
3x + 23 = 7x - 37
23 = 4x - 37
60 = 4x
15 = x
KM = LM = 3x + 23
= 3(15) + 23
= 45 + 23
= 68
KL = 9x - 40
= 9(15) - 40
= 135 - 40
= 95
Next, draw a perpendicular bisector KN from K to KL. Thus, N is the midpoint of KL and ΔMNL is a right triangle.
- Since N is the midpoint of KL and KL = 95, then NL = 47.5
- Since ∠N is 90°, then NL is adjacent to ∠l and ML is the hypotenuse
Use trig to solve for ∠L (which equals ∠K):
cos ∠L =
cos ∠L =
∠L = cos⁻¹
∠L = 45.7
Triangle sum Theorem:
∠K + ∠L + ∠M = 180°
45.7 + 45.7 + ∠M = 180
91.4 + ∠M = 180
∠M = 88.6
