Answer:
The scale factor is
Step-by-step explanation:
Line segmentAB has vertices A(−3, 4) and B(1, −2) .
A dilation, centered at the origin, is applied to AB. The image has vertices
A'(-1,4/3) and B′(1/3, −2/3) .
We know the rule for dilation by scale factor of k, is
This means that;
But we know, A' has coordinates (-1,4/3)
This means that
We could also compare:
4k=4/3
Which gives
k=⅓
We must the tangent line at x = 3 of the function:
The tangent line is given by:
Where:
• m is the slope of the tangent line of f(x) at x = h,
,• k = f(h) is the value of the function at x = h.
In this case, we have h = 3.
1) First, we compute the derivative of f(x):
2) By evaluating the result of f'(x) at x = h = 3, we get:
3) The value of k is:
4) Replacing the values of m, h and k in the general equation of the tangent line, we get:
Plotting the function f(x) and the tangent line we verify that our result is correct:
AnswerThe equation of the tangent line to f(x) and x = 3 is:
