For the function f(x) = -12x^2 + 6x - 8 find the equation of the tangent line at x= -1

1 answer:

3 0

Let, f(x) = y = -12x^2+6x-8

Substitute x = -1 in f(x) we get y = -26

y = -12x^2+6x-8

Differentiate ‘y’ w.r.t ‘x’ we get

dy/dx = -24x+6

By putting value of ‘x’ we get

dy/dx = 30

Slope(m)=dy/dx = 30

Equation of tangent => (y - y1)=m(x - x1)

Here, x1= -1 and y1 = -26 and m = 30

So, (y - (-26)) =30(x - (-1))

y+26=30(x+1)

y+26=30x+30

30x - y + 4 =0 is the equation of tangent at x = -1

<u>The correct answer is </u><u>all of the above.</u>

Why is the range the most convenient measure of variability?

Your data's spread from the lowest to the greatest value in the distribution is indicated by the range.
The calculation of this variability index is the simplest.
Simply subtract the lowest value from the highest value in the data set to determine the range.

How do you find the range?

The difference between the lowest and highest values in a list or set is known as the range.
Put all the numbers in order before determining the range. The lowest number should then be subtracted from the highest.
The range of the list is provided in the response.

Answer:

$x=3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $15=7x-6$

To solve this equation, we need to isolate $x$ on one side of the equation algebraically. I see that we have like terms, but they are on opposite sides of the equal sign. Let's add $6$ to both sides.
