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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Keith_Richards [23]2 years ago
6 0

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

Identify the center and the radius of a circle that has a diameter with endpoints at (−5, 9) and (3, 5)
marusya05 [52]

Check the picture below, so the circle looks more or less like that one.

well, the center of it is simply the Midpoint of those two points, and its radius is simply half-the-distance between them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{9})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left(\cfrac{ 3 -5}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ 5 + 9}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-2}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{14}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{center}{(-1~~,~~7)} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{9})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ \stackrel{diameter}{d}=\sqrt{[3 - (-5)]^2 + [5 - 9]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(3+5)^2+(-4)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{8^2+16}\implies d=\sqrt{80}\implies d=4\sqrt{5}~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{half the diameter}}{\cfrac{4\sqrt{5}}{2}\implies \underset{radius}{2\sqrt{5}}}

The expression (x-9)(2x^2-6x+3) can be rewritten as which of the following?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

An equivalent expression is an expression which is equal to (x-9)(2x^2-6x+3). You can expand or simplify an expression to make an equivalent expression. Apply the distributive property to form a new equivalent expression by multiplying (x-9) separately into the factor in parenthesis.

(x-9)(2x^2-6x+3)  = x(2x^2-6x+3) - 9(2x^2-6x+3)
