The tangent line to <em>y</em> = <em>f(x)</em> at a point (<em>a</em>, <em>f(a)</em> ) has slope d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> at <em>x</em> = <em>a</em>. So first compute the derivative:
<em>y</em> = <em>x</em>² - 9<em>x</em> → d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em> - 9
When <em>x</em> = 4, the function takes on a value of
<em>y</em> = 4² - 9•4 = -20
and the derivative is
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> (4) = 2•4 - 9 = -1
Then use the point-slope formula to get the equation of the tangent line:
<em>y</em> - (-20) = -1 (<em>x</em> - 4)
<em>y</em> + 20 = -<em>x</em> + 4
<em>y</em> = -<em>x</em> - 24
The normal line is perpendicular to the tangent, so its slope is -1/(-1) = 1. It passes through the same point, so its equation is
<em>y</em> - (-20) = 1 (<em>x</em> - 4)
<em>y</em> + 20 = <em>x</em> - 4
<em>y</em> = <em>x</em> - 24
The 1,000s place because she was in the 100s and you moved 6 to the left which makes the number higher.
Ur answer is c.0.10 because 10 is less than all the other answer choices
Step-by-step explanation: the answer is x = 1/2
Answer:
$6.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price = $18
Percentage Discount = 65%
Discount = 18*65% = 18*0.65 = $11.7
Sale Price = Original price - Discount
= $18 - $11.7
= $6.3
