Alright, lets get started.

We have given a curve y, and a point P.

y = 7x + 9 cosx

The derivative of the curve is the slope of the tangent line.

We will find the derivative of the given function.

\frac{dy}{dx}  = \frac{d}{dx}(7x + 9 cos x)

\frac{dy}{dx} = 7 + 9 (-sin x)

\frac{dy}{dx}  = 7 - 9 sin x

Putting the value as x = 0 because P (0,9)

\frac{dy}{dx}  = 7 - 9 sin 0

As sin 0 = 0

\frac{dy}{dx} = 7 - 0

\frac{dy}{dx}  = 7

The equation of tangent will be : y =mx + c where m is slope

y = 7 x + c

Putting the value of (x,y) as (0,9), we could find the value of c

9 = 7 * 0 + c

c = 9

Hence the equation of tangent will be :

y = 7 x + 9

Answer

Hope it will help :)

Solve -52 = 4m for m
ZanzabumX [31]

Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.


Isolate the variable. Divide 4 from both sides


(-52)/4 = (4m)/4


m = -52/4


m = -13


-13 is your answer for m



hope this helps

Plzz HELP FOR POINTS AND BRAINLIST ANSWER
storchak [24]

A)Plugging in our initial statement values of y = 16 when x = 10, we get:

16 = 10k

Divide each side by 10 to solve for k:

16/10=

 k = 1.6

Solve the second part of the variation equation:

Because we have found our relationship constant k = 1.6, we form our new variation equation:

y = 1.6x

Since we were given that x, we have

y = 1.6()

y = 0


B)Plugging in our initial statement values of y = 1 when x = 15, we get:

1 = 15k

Divide each side by 15 to solve for k:

1/15

=15k

k = 0.066666666666667

Answer:

-5

Step-by-step explanation:

  • \frac{-5^5}{(-5)^2 (-5)^2}
  • \frac{-3125}{(-5)^2 (-5)^2}
  • \frac{-3125}{25(-5)^2}
  • \frac{-3125}{(25)(25)}
  • \frac{-3125}{625}
