To find the gradient of the tangent, we must first differentiate the function.
The gradient at x = 0 is given by evaluating f'(0).
The derivative of the function at this point is negative, which tells us <em>the function is decreasing at that point</em>.
The tangent to the line is a straight line, so we will have a linear equation of the form y = mx + c. We know the gradient, m, is equal to -1, so
Now we need to substitute a point on the tangent into this equation to find c. We know a point when x = 0 lies on here. To find the y-coordinate of this point we need to evaluate f(0).
So the point (0, -1) lies on the tangent. Substituting into the tangent equation:
Answer:
Step 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Steps used by Shelly to evaluate the expression
To find: step that includes Shelly's mistake
Solution:
According to PEMDAS,
P denotes Parentheses
E denotes Exponents
M denotes Multiplication
D denotes Division
A denotes Addition
S denotes subtraction
Step 3 is and step 4 is
In step 4, first subtraction operation has been applied before the division operation.
There is a mistake in step 4 as according to PEMDAS, first -20 should be divided by 5 then 1 should be subtracted from the resultant number.
