Differentiating both sides of
with respect to 
yields
At the point (3, 4) (so 
and 
), the tangent line has slope
Then the tangent line to (3, 4) has equation
Since this is an absolute value equation, it will have two answers. For the first answer, take away the absolute value bars and solve 3x + 1 = 2. Subtract 1 from both sides to get 3x = 1 and divide each side by 3 to get x = 1/3. Now onto the second solution. This time, take away the absolute value bars and make the other side of the equation, the 2, negative, to get 3x + 1 = -2. Now solve this by subtracting 1 from each side to get 3x = -3 and divide each side to get the other answer which is x = -1. The answer is x = -1 or 1/3, hope this helps!
Answer:
t = 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Instead of randomly guessing values of "t" that will satisfy the equation, you can easily find the correct value by solving the equation in terms of "t". In other words, you can set the equation equal to "t" to find the final answer.
(-2/3)t - 2 = -3 <----- Original equation
(-2/3)t = -1 <----- Add 2 to both sides
t = 3/2 <----- Divide both sides by -2/3
You can check this value by plugging it into "t" and determining whether both sides of the equations will be equal.
(-2/3)t - 2 = -3 <----- Original equation
(-2/3)(3/2) - 2 = -3 <----- Plug 3/2 into "t"
-6/6 - 2 = -3 <----- Multiply -2/3 and 3/2
-1 - 2 = -3 <----- Simplify -6/6
-3 = -3 <----- Subtract
7? Is seems that the 4 is being added with +2 when it got bigger so I’m thinking the 5 would be the same thing +2 equals 7..that’s what I’m thinking
<span>C. Subtraction Property of Equality; Multiplication Property of Equality
For the first one, you are subtracting 7 from both sides (step b), to help isolate the y
since you are both subtracting, and "both sides" (meaning there is a equal sign) it is <em>Subtraction Property of Equality.</em>
For the second one, you are multiplying 2 from both sides (step d), to help isolate the y
since you are multiplying, and "both sides" (meaning there is a equal sign), it is <em>Multiplication Property of Equality</em>
hope this helps</span>
