Answer:

c = 18.47

Step-by-step explanation:

This would create a triangle in which the length of the wall would be the missing side. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find this:

1. a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}

2. 5^{2} + 14^{2} = c^{2}

3. 25 + 196 = c^{2}

4. 221 = c^{2}

5. \sqrt{221} = c

6. 18.47 = c

Find the equation of the tangent line. y=(x^2+x-2)^2 at (-1,4)​
Keith_Richards [23]

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

Write an equation for a circle with a diameter that has endpoints at (–10, 1) and (–8, 5). Round to the nearest tenth if necessa
satela [25.4K]

The standard form for the equation of a circle is :

<span><span><span> (x−h)^</span>2</span>+<span><span>(y−k)^</span>2</span>=<span>r2</span></span><span> ----------- EQ(1)
</span><span> where </span><span>handk</span><span> are the </span><span>x and y</span><span> coordinates of the center of the circle and </span>r<span> is the radius.
</span> The center of the circle is the midpoint of the diameter.

 So the midpoint of the diameter with endpoints at (−10,1)and(−8,5) is :

 ((−10+(−8))/2,(1+5)/2)=(−9,3)

 So the point (−9,3) is the center of the circle.

  Now, use the distance formula to find the radius of the circle:

  r^2=(−10−(−9))^2+(1−3)^2=1+4=5

 ⇒r=√5

 Subtituting h=−9, k=3 and r=√5 into EQ(1) gives :

 (x+9)^2+(y−3)^2=5
