Answer:
you plug in the 3. so you get y= 3-4 which is -1
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the curve is

To find the equation of tangent we need to differentiate this equation w.r.t x
So, differentiating we get

This would give the slope of the tangent line at any given point of which x coordinate is known. In the present case it is 
Then slope would accordingly be

= ∞
For,
, 
Equation of tangent line, in the point slope form, would be 
Hey!
Hope this helps...

To solve this, we will be doing a semi-alternate route, but it will get us to our answer...
400 / 100 = 4
30 / 4 = 7.5 seconds
60 * 60 * 7.5 = 27,000 meters per hour
<em></em><em>Lets plug it into our meters to miles formula...</em>
27,000 / 1,609.344 ~ 16.777 miles per hour
So...
The answer is: The Polar Express was going 27,000 meters per hour (or roughly close to 16.777 miles per hour)...

Point-slope form is
, where
is the slope and
is a point on the line.
Substitute in the values. 
Simplify the negative subtraction to addition. 
Rational. There’s nothing further that you can do with this problem
