Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the tangent to a curve is the derivative of the curve. We need to find the derivative of the function and then evaluate the derivative at that given x value. The derivative is found using the product rule:

y'=f(x)g'(x)+f'(x)g(x)

Let's call 3x our f(x) and sin(x) our g(x). Filling in the formula for the derivative using the product rule looks like this:

y'=3x(cosx)+3sinx

That gives us the derivative, which is the slope formula that can be used at ANY x value anywhere on the curve to find the slope of the line tangent to the curve at that x value. If we want to find the slope of the tangent line to the curve at x = pi/2, we evaluate the slope formula at x = pi/2 (remember that y' is the same exact thing as the slope):

y'(slope)=3(\frac{\pi}{2})(cos\frac{\pi}{2})+3(sin\frac{\pi}{2})

From the unit circle (or experience, since you're in advaced math), we know that the cosine of pi/2 is 0 and that the sin of pi/2 = 1:

y'(slope)=3(\frac{\pi}{2})(0)+3(1) simplifies to

y' (slope) = 3

That means that the slope of the line tangent to the curve at the point x = pi/2 is 3.

What is the measure of
harina [27]

Answer:

<DAB   = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

7)

<DAB = ?

<DAB + <DCB = 180

so

16x + 8 + 8x + 4 = 180

24x + 12 = 180

24x = 168

x = 7

<DAB  = 16(7) + 8 = 120

First part, in quadrilateral WXYZ, WX is parallel to ZY because both sides are equal while the other parallel segments WZ and XY are equal but different side lengths.

The measure of angle Z is 78 because both of the pictures are the same, only rotated. and angle S and Z are acute.
