The derivitive of sec(x) is sec(x)tan(x)

find the slope at pi/3

sec(pi/3)=2
tan(pi/3)=√3

sec(x)tan(x) at x=pi/3 is 2√3

for slope=m and a point is (x1,y1)
the equation is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
slope=2√3
point=(pi/3,2)

equation is
y-2=2√3(x-pi/3)

3√2x+1=15, then what is the value of x? 0

kifflom [539]

Answer:

x = 7√2/3

decimal = 3.299831

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 1 from both sides

3√2x+1-1=15-1

Simplify

3√2x=14

Divide both sides by 3√2

3√2x/3√2 = 14/3√2

Simplify

x= 7√2/3

3. Find m D (2x+14) (x + 7) E B 60 23 53 30

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ABC + ∠CBD = 90 so filling in the expressions for these angles:

(2x + 14) + (x + 7) = 90 and

3x + 21 = 90 and

3x = 69 so

x = 23. To find the measure of angle ABC in particular, we sub in a 23 for x:

x + 7 --> 23 + 7 = 30°, the last choice there.

Find the distance from point A(−1, 7) to the line y=3x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

The distance from the point to the line is approximately 3.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance From a Point to a Line

Is the shortest distance from a given point to any point on an infinite straight line. The shortest distance occurs when the segment from the point and the line are perpendiculars.

If the line is given by the equation ax + by + c = 0, where a, b and c are real constants, the distance from the line to a point (x0,y0) is

$\displaystyle d= \frac{|ax_0+by_0+c|}{\sqrt{a^2+b^2}}$
