The mess up occurs in one of the first things she says. She first claims that 7^2 +25^2 = 24^2
Wait a minute... slow your roll there.
25 is the hypotenuse, or the longest side of the triangle AND opposite the right angle (but we aren't supposed to know that yet).
The Pythagorean Theorem holds that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a & b are the legs of the triangle & c is the hypotenuse. So, she got the formatting correctly, but she switched 24 & 25.
Hope this helps!
We have:
The generic equation of the line is: y-yo = m (x-xo)
The slope is:
m = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
m = (- 2-0) / (3-0)
m = -2 / 3
We choose an ordered pair
(xo, yo) = (0, 0)
Substituting values:
y-0 = (- 2/3) (x-0)
Rewriting:
y = (- 2/3) x
Answer:
The equation of the line is:
y = (- 2/3) x
$32,750 + $375 = 33125
$33,125 * .06= 1987.50
$33,125+$1987.50= $35,112.50
$35,112.50+$50=$35,162.50
A. $35,162.50
Hello :
f'(7) = the slope of the tangent line : let A(7,4) B(0,3)<span>
<span>the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)= (3-4)/(0-7) = -1/-7 = 1/7=f'(7)
the equation of the tangent line is :
y-3 = 1/7 (x-0)
y = (1/7)x+3
the line tangent and the graph of : f </span></span><span>passes through the point A(7, 4)
x= 7 y=4 so : f(7) =4</span>
