Yes choice D is the correct answer. Nice job.

If you wanted, you can simplify the linear approximation L(x) 
L(x) = f(a) + (x-a)*f'(a)
L(x) = f(-0.5) + (x-(-0.5))*f'(-0.5)
L(x) = 2 + (x+0.5)*4
L(x) = 2+4x+2
L(x) = 4x+4

Then plug in x = 0
L(x) = 4x+4
L(0) = 4(0)+4
L(0) = 4

But your method is a shorter route.

In APQR, find the measure of Z.P.
egoroff_w [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

multiple possibilities.

e.g.

we could use Pythagoras to get QR, and then use the law of sine to get angle P.

or we can use the law of sine to get angle R, and then use the rule that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180° to get angle P.

I propose the second option :

the law of sine :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)

with a, b, c being the sides always opposite of their associated angles.

33.8/sin(R) = 57.6/sin(90) = 57.6

sin(R) = 33.8/57.6 = 0.586805555...

R = 35.93064691...°

180 = 90 + 35.93064691... + P

P = 54.06935309...°

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3)
Komok [63]
Slope is found when you put y2-y1/x2-x1. So your equation would be (-2)-2/6-3.
That answer would be -4/3. Nothing can be simplified further, so that is your answer
