The derivative of a function, such as the one given above, represents the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the given point.

In this case, y = x − x^3, and dy/dx = 1 - 3x^2.  Letting x = 1, we get the slope of the tangent line at the point (1,0):  1 - 3(1^2) = -2 (answer)

1/4 times 2 2/3 = 2/3

Change from a mixed number to improper fraction: 1/4 times 8/3

Multiply across so 1x8/4x3 to get 8/12

Finf the exact value of sin A and cos A where a = 9 and b = 10 and <c is a right angle
Katyanochek1 [597]
To solve for the longest side, the hypotenuse, you have to use the pythagorean theorem. It will be 10^2 + 9^2 = c^2. 100 + 81 =c^2. 
c^2 = 181 so c = sqrt(181).
to find sin of A do opposite/hypotenuse which gives you 9/sqrt(181)
to find cos of A do adjacent/hypotenuse which gives you 10/sqrt(181)

How to know if a number is proportional
Dafna1 [17]

Ratios are proportional if they represent the same relationship. One way to see if two ratios are proportional is to write them as fractions and then reduce them. If the reduced fractions are the same, your ratios are proportional. To see this process in action, check out this tutorial!
