Let f(x)=x^2-2x+1
1 answer:
Answer:
a.) f'(x) = 2x - 2
b.) horizontal tangent line at (1, 0)
c.) view image
d.) the point given, (-1, -1/2), isn't even located on the graph of f(x). Either there is a typo or the question is poorly stated.
Step-by-step explanation:
a.) You should know how to do derivative already
b.) Horizontal tangent line just mean that the slope is zero. Since a derivative is a slope, just find when the derivative is equal to 0.
c.) The function f(x) looks like a U. The only spot that has a zero slope is at the bottom of the U when the slope changes from negative to positive. Since my horizontal tangent line(where the slope is 0) is located at point (1,0), that must be where the bottom of the graph is,
d.) Poorly stated question. The point given isn't even located on the graph.

Recall that the volume of a regular prism is given by the area of the base times the height.
Given that the base of the prism is a regular pentagon with an apothem of 2.8 centimeters.
The pentagon consist of 5 isosceles triangles with the apothem as the height and the side of the pentagon as the base.
Recall that the are of a triangle is given by 1/2 base times height.
Thus the area of of the pentagon base of the prism is given by
Therefore, the volume of the prism is given by
