Compute the derivative of <em>y</em> = (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2)² using the chain rule:
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2 (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2) d/d<em>x</em> [<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2]
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2 (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2) (2<em>x</em> + 1)
Evaluate the derivative at <em>x</em> = -1 :
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> (-1) = 2 ((-1)² + (-1) - 2) (2 (-1) + 1) = 4
This is the slope of the tangent line to the function at (-1, 4).
Use the point-slope formula to get the equation for the tangent line:
<em>y</em> - 4 = 4 (<em>x</em> - (-1)) → <em>y</em> = 4<em>x</em> + 8
I think the answer is 3. C= -3 and integer 2
The shortcut is if u have this brand calculator .. ‘ press mode, 5, 3 ‘....the quadratic calculator will appear and add the values to get whole numbers and not imaginary numbers ( i will be shown along with the numbers on the calculator )
7 goes into 11 one time, which leaves you with 1 4/7.
A because i did the work and got it right
The answer would be 39/40.
1. Find the LCD of both of the fractions (LCD = 40)
2. Make the denominators the same as LCD (The LCD would be 40)
3. Simplify (24/40 + 15/40)
4. Join the denominators (24 + 15/40)
5. Simplify (39/40)
In decimal form its 0.975.
