Answer:
6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
If you count the units between them, you can see they are 6 units apart. However, to double-check this there is another way to know. The coordinates of A are (-4,3) and the coordinates of B are (-4,-3). Since they have the same x-coordinates, we can add the y-coordinates to see how many units apart they are. Since both the y-coordinates are 3 you can add them together.
3 + 3 = 6
They are 6 units apart! I hope this helps you out!
<em>(If they were on the same y-coordinates you would add the x-coordinates)</em>

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
