Answer: UW= 9√3

Step-by-step explanation:

This right triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle. This is a special triangle. Since this is a special triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x.

The hypotenuse is 18. We can figure out the length of x.

2x=18

x=9

Since we got 9, you would think it is the answer, but it's not. The length across the 60° angle is x√3. Now that we know the length across from 60°, we can plug in x.

9√3

We can check our answer by using Pythagorean Theorem.

9²+(9√3)²=18²

81+243=18²

324=324

Since they are equal, we know we have the right answer.

Limit definition for slope of the graph, equation of tangent line point for<br> f(x)=2x^2 at x=(-1)

Tems11 [23]

The slope of the tangent line to $f$ at $x=-1$ is given by the derivative of $f$ at that point:

$f'(-1)=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-1}\frac{f(x)-f(-1)}{x-(-1)}=\lim_{x\to-1}\frac{2x^2-2}{x+1}$

Factorize the numerator:

$2x^2-2=2(x^2-1)=2(x-1)(x+1)$

We have $x$ approaching -1; in particular, this means $x\neq-1$ , so that

$\dfrac{2x^2-2}{x+1}=\dfrac{2(x-1)(x+1)}{x+1}=2(x-1)$

Then

$f'(-1)=\displaystyle\lim_{x\to-1}\frac{2x^2-2}{x+1}=\lim_{x\to-1}2(x-1)=2(-1-1)=-4$

and the tangent line's equation is

$y-f(-1)=f'(-1)(x-(-1))\implies y-4x-2$
