Step-by-step explanation:

This seems to be calculus 1.

<u>Question a</u>

We have -2x^3 + 5x^2 + 9

m = slope = derivative

Find the derivative / slope of -2x^3 + 5x^2 + 9

We do this by differentiating the polynomials. There are a few methods to do this but I am going to use the power rule, which we multiply the constant by the exponent on the variable and subtract one from the exponent.

\frac{d}{dx}(-2x^3 + 5x^2 + 9)

-6x^2 + 10x

m = -6x^2 + 10x when x = a

<em>Now that we have this information, we can answer question b</em>

<u>Question b</u>

<u>The tangent line for Point (1, 12)</u>

First find the slope by using our derivative.

m = -6x^2 + 10x

m = -6(1)^2 + 10(1)

m = -6 + 10x

m = 4

Now that we have our slope, use point slope form to find our tangent line

y - 12 = 4(x - 1)

y(x) = 4x + 8


<u>Now lets do the same for the Point (2, 13)</u>

Find the slope at the point.

m = -6x^2 + 10x

m = -6(2)^2 + 10(2)

m = -24 + 10

m = -4

Now find the tangent line using point slope form of a line.

y(x) - 13 = -4(x - 2)

y(x) = -4x + 21


Now graph the lines, which I have done and you can see by viewing the image I have attached.

The lines are parallel, because they have the same gradient but are just in different positions ie. y = x-9.
