(a) mtan refers to the slope of the tangent line. Given <em>f(x)</em> = 9 + 7<em>x</em> ², compute the difference quotient:

Then as <em>h</em> approaches 0 - bearing in mind that we're specifically considering <em>h</em> <em>near</em> 0, and not <em>h</em> = 0 - we can eliminate the factor of <em>h</em> in the numerator and denominator, so that

and so the slope of the line at <em>P</em> (0, 9), for which we take <em>x</em> = 0, is 0.
(b) The equation of the tangent line is then <em>y</em> = 9.
Answer:
y=4x-1 i think
Step-by-step explanation:
A(−3,−2), B(−2,2), C(2,−2)
The orthocenter is the meet of the altitudes. We see AC is parallel to the x axis so the perpendicular
is the altitude through B.
Between A and B we have slope (2 - -2)/(-2 - -3) = 4 so perpendicular slope -1/4 through C(2,-2):

For the y coordinate of the orthocenter we substitute in x=-2.


So the orthocenter is (x,y)=(-2,-1)
Answer: (-2,-1)

Not sure what the question is.. Can you be a little more specific? Hope I can help! :)
