The formula for a triangle to find its area is A=1/2bh.
So you are trying to find the area...So you equation would be A=1/2×6×3 so I am going to multiply 6×3 first which equals 18 then you can either multiply by
.5 or divide by 2 (I chose to multiply) so I multipled 18× .5 and got 9. So 9 is your area
(Sorry if this is confusing)

I hope I helped :) <3

How you find the area of a triangle is base × height ÷ 2. So the equation would be 6×3=18 18÷2=9, so the answer is 9. Hope this helped!

Find an equation of the tangent line to the hyperbola y = 3/x at the point (3, 1).

Vesna [10]

Let's find the derivative of that hyperbola in order to find a slope formula to help us with this equation. We already have an x and y value. The derivative is found this way: $y'= \frac{x(0)-3(1)}{x^2}$ so $y'=- \frac{3}{x^2}$ . The derivative supplies us with the slope formula we need to write the equation. Sub in the x value of 3 to find what the slope is: $y'=- \frac{3}{3^2}=- \frac{3}{9}=- \frac{1}{3}$ . So in our slope-intercept equation, x = 3, y = 1, and m = -1/3. Use these values to solve for b. $1=- \frac{1}{3}(3)+b$ so b = 2. The equation, then, for the line tangent to that hyperbola at that given point is $y=- \frac{1}{3}x+2$
