Answer:
a) -36
b) y = -36x +34
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The slope is found using the derivative of the function.
f'(x) = dy/dx = 0 -9(2x) = -18x
Then at x=2, the slope is ...
f'(2) = -18·2 = -36
___
b) The point-slope form of the equation can be written as ...
y = -36(x -2) -38
Simplifying to slope-intercept form, we get ...
y = -36x +34
Answer:
"The product of a rational number and an irrational number is SOMETIMES irrational." If you multiply any irrational number by the rational number zero, the result will be zero, which is rational. Any other situation, however, of a rational times an irrational will be irrational
A better statement would be:
"The product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is irrational
