Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) mtan refers to the slope of the tangent line. Given <em>f(x)</em> = 9 + 7<em>x</em> ², compute the difference quotient:

Then as <em>h</em> approaches 0 - bearing in mind that we're specifically considering <em>h</em> <em>near</em> 0, and not <em>h</em> = 0 - we can eliminate the factor of <em>h</em> in the numerator and denominator, so that

and so the slope of the line at <em>P</em> (0, 9), for which we take <em>x</em> = 0, is 0.
(b) The equation of the tangent line is then <em>y</em> = 9.
The answer of t he trapezoid area problem is 112.
10x+2y=18
10x-7y=-18
Multiply the second one by -1
-10x+7y=18
Then add the two equations
10x+2y=18
+-10x+7y=18
----------------
9y=36
y=4
Plug that back into one of the equations above and solve for x
10x+2y=18
10x+2(4)=18
10x+8=18
10x=10
x=1
so your answer is x=1 and y=4 or (1,4)
