Answer: x=80°

Explanation:
To find the exterior angle x we first need to find the last corner angle (a) of the triangle. The angles of triangles add up to 180° so we can use the formula: 25+55+a=180

Solving formula:
25+55+a=180
80+a=180
(Subtract 80 from both sides)
a=100°

Now that we know a=100 we can find the exterior angle. a+x=180 because the angles are on a straight line which equals 180°

a+x=180
100+x=180
(Subtract 100 from both sides)
x=80°

Find the equation of the tangent of x^2- xy + y^2 =7 at (-1, 2)

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

It is 3y = 4x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first get the slope of the curve.

[ slope is the derivative of the equation ]

${x}^{2} - xy + {y}^{2} = 7$

introduce dy/dx :

$\frac{d}{dx} ( {x}^{2} - xy + {y}^{2} ) = \frac{d}{dx} (7) \\ \\ 2x - (y + \frac{dy}{dx} ) + 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 0$

make dy/dx the subject:

$2x - y - \frac{dy}{dx} + 2y \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \\ \\ 2y \frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{dy}{dx} = y - 2x \\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx} (2y - 1) = y - 2x \\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y - 2x}{2y - 1}$
