Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
25 - 3x = -5(1 - x) - 2x
<u></u>
<u>We have to first get rid of the parenthesis:</u>
==> -5
==> 5x
<u>So now you should have:</u>
25 - 3x = -5 + 5x - 2x
<u>Combine like terms:</u>
25 - 3x = -5 + 5x - 2x
25 - 3x = -5 + 3x
<u>Add 3x to both sides:</u>
25 - 3x = -5 + 3x
+ 3x = + 3x
<u>And you should have:</u>
25 = -5 + 6x
<u></u>
<u>Add 5 to both sides:</u>
25 = -5 + 6x
+5 = +5
30 = 6x
<u>Divide 6 to both sides:</u>
=
5 = x
===================================================
Explanation:
f(x) = x^3 - 2x + 3
f ' (x) = 3x^2 - 2 ..... apply the power rule
f ' (1) = 3(1)^2 - 2 ... plug in x coordinate of given point
f ' (1) = 1
If x = 1 is plugged into the derivative function, then we get the output 1. This means the slope of the tangent line at (1,2) is m = 1. It's just a coincidence that the x input value is the same as the slope m value.
Now apply point slope form to find the equation of the tangent line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = 1(x - 1)
y - 2 = x - 1
y = x - 1 + 2
y = x + 1 is the equation of the tangent line.
The graph is shown below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph.
