Answer is <
Why? 1/4 is smaller than 1/2
1/4 can be 4 slices while 1/2 can be 2 slices
2 slices > 4 slices
Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
By using the definition of an exterior angle of a triangle,
"Measure of the exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of measures of the opposite interior angles"
m∠STP = m∠SWT + m∠STW
Substitute the measures of the angles from the picture attached,
15x = (7x + 1) + (7x + 6)
15x = (7x + 7x) + (1 + 6)
15x = 14x + 7
15x - 14x = 7
x = 7
Therefore, Option A will be the correct option.

<u>Step 6: Find Slope at Given Point</u>
- [Algebra] Substitute in <em>x</em>:

- [Algebra] Evaluate:

There are two sides (heads and tails). So one head would be 1/2, and one tail would also be 1/2.
The equation of the tangent line at x=1 can be written in point-slope form as
... L(x) = f'(1)(x -1) +f(1)
The derivative is ...
... f'(x) = 4x^3 +4x
so the slope of the tangent line is f'(1) = 4+4 = 8.
The value of the function at x=1 is
... f(1) = 1^4 +2·1^2 = 3
So, your linearization is ...
... L(x) = 8(x -1) +3
or
... L(x) = 8x -5
