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.

If angle x=55% and angle y=35, calculate the following 1.cos(x+y) ​
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

cos(X+Y) = cos(55+35) = cos(90) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

cos(X+Y) = cosXcosY - sinXsinY

cos(55+35) = cos(55)cos(35) - sin(55)sin(35)

cos(55+35) = cos(55)cos(35) - cos(90-55)cos(90-35)

cos(55+35) = cos(55)cos(35) - cos(35)cos(55)

cos(55+35) = 0

cos(90) = 0

What is the measure of BGD?
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle BGD is supplementary with angle DGE.

BGD + DGE = 180

Since angle DGE is a right angle, then Angle BGD must also be a right angle:

BGD + 90 = 180

BGD = 90

The answer is 24/35. i would tell you to simplify but it is already in its simpliest form.
