Answer: Find the first derivative of f(x). 2) Plug x value of the indicated point into f '(x) to find the slope at x. 3) Plug x value into f(x) to find the y coordinate of the tangent point. 4) Combine the slope from step 2 and point from step 3 using the point-slope formula to find the equation for the tangent line

Answer:

find derivative of function

sub in x value of point to find gradient of tangent

put gradient into y=(gradient)x+c

Sub in point and solve for c

you have found the equation of the tangent.

Are the following polygons similar explain

<h3>Answer: No, they are not similar.</h3>

Technically, we don't have enough info so it could go either way.

==========================================================

Explanation:

We can see that the sides are proportional to each other, but we don't know anything about the angles. We need to know if the angles are the same. If they are, then the hexagons are similar. If the angles are different, then the figures are not similar.

Right now we simply don't have enough info. So they could be similar, or they may not be. The best answer (in my opinion) is "not enough info". However, your teacher likely wants you to pick one side or the other. We can't pick "similar" so it's best to go with "not similar" until more info comes along the way.

2 angles of a triangle are the same size. the 3rd is 3 times as large as the 1st

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

36°, 36° and 108°

Step-by-step explanation:

let the equal angles be x then the third angle = 3x

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, thus

x + x + 3x = 180, that is

5x = 180 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 36
