Determine the equation of the tangent to x− 3x +1 at the point (3,1)
1 answer:
9514 1404 393
Answer:
y = 3x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want the tangent to the parabola y = x² -3x +1 at the given point. The slope is found using the derivative of the function at that point.
y' = 2x -3
At x=3, the slope is ...
y' = 2(3) -3 = 3
The equation of the line through point (3, 1) with a slope of 3 is ...
y -1 = 3(x -3) . . . . use the point-slope form of the equation for a line
y = 3x -9 +1 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, add 1
y = 3x -8

Answer:
The longer diagonal has a length of 7.3 meters.
The angles are 31.65° and 18.35°
Step-by-step explanation:
If one angle of the parallelogram is 50°, another angle is also 50° and the other two angles are the supplement of this angle. so the other three angles are:
50°, 130° and 130°.
The longer diagonal will be the one opposite to the bigger angle (130°), and this diagonal divides the parallelogram in two triangles.
Using the law of cosines in one of these two triangles, we have:
So the longer diagonal has a length of 7.3 meters.
To find the angles that this diagonal forms with the sides, we can use the law of sines:
The other angle is B = 50 - 31.65 = 18.35°
