1) Find the derivative y'=2x and y'(2)=2\cdot2=4.
2) The equation of the tangent line is y=y'(x_0)(x-x_0)+y_0, so at point (2,6): x_0=2 \\ y_0=6 and
y=4(x-2)+6
y=4x-2 -the equation of the tangent line at point (2,6).

Bearing in mind that in (2, 6),  x₁ = 2,    y₁ = 6.

\bf y=x^2+2\implies \left. \cfrac{dy}{dx}=2x \right|_{x=2}\implies 2(2)\implies \stackrel{m}{\underline{4}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-6=\underline{4}(x-2)
\\\\\\
y-6=4x-8\implies y=4x-2

Joe wants to rent an apartment with an initial monthly rent of $1,400. He has been told that the landlord raises the rent 1.25%
nadya68 [22]

Answer: his pay for the 4th year is $1453.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The landlord raises the rent 1.25% each year. It means that the rent is increasing in geometric progression.

The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

Tn = ar^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the information given,

a = $1,400

r = 1 + 1.25/100 = 1.0125

n = 4 years

The 4th term(year), T4 is

T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^(4 - 1)

T4 = 1400 × 1.0125^3

T4 = $1453.16

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + 7a + 7

a = 2

Plug in the value of 2 for every occurance of a.

(2)² + 7(2) + 7

First, solve the exponent.

4 + 7(2) + 7

Now, multiply.

4 + 14 + 7.

Add.

25

This is your answer.

Hope this helps!
