Notice the tickmark on the angles, those angles are equal to each other.
now, notice the angle at the very top, the large triangle is really sharing it with smaller-inscribed triangle, and therefore is equal on both triangles.
therefore, the larger triangle, is similar with smaller-inscribed triangle by AA.
what the dickens does that mean?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
16 divided by 6 is 2.66666667
Since 1/3 is .33 , 2/3 is .66
By "y = −9x2 − 2x" I assume you meant <span>y = −9x^2 − 2x (the "^" symbol represents exponentiation).
Let's find the first derivative of y with respect to x: dy/dx = -18x - 2. This is equivalent to the slope of the tangent line to the (parabolic) curve. Now let this derivative (slope) = 0 and solve for the critical value: -18x - 2 = 0, or
-18x = 2. Solving for x, x = -2/18, or x = -1/9.
When x = -1/9, y = -9(-1/9)^2 - 2(-1/9). This simplifies to y = -9/9 + 2/9, or
y = -7/9.
The only point at which the tangent to the curve is horiz. is (-1/9,-7/9).</span>
The y intercept is seven so you would start by placing a point on (0,7). Then you count Down four points because the slope is a negative number and then count nine points to the right. You would have to keep counting down four points and the right nine points until your line was long enough.
