I used a dash line because the term 'less than' does not include the value itself.
a. Given that y = f(x) and f(0) = -2, by the fundamental theorem of calculus we have

Evaluate the integral to solve for y :



Use the other known value, f(2) = 18, to solve for k :

Then the curve C has equation

b. Any tangent to the curve C at a point (a, f(a)) has slope equal to the derivative of y at that point:

The slope of the given tangent line
is 1. Solve for a :

so we know there exists a tangent to C with slope 1. When x = -1/3, we have y = f(-1/3) = -67/27; when x = -1, we have y = f(-1) = -3. This means the tangent line must meet C at either (-1/3, -67/27) or (-1, -3).
Decide which of these points is correct:

So, the point of contact between the tangent line and C is (-1, -3).
2x + y = 5
x − 2y = 10
y = 5 − 2x
x − 2(5 − 2x) = 10
x − 10 + 4x = 10
5x − 10 = 10
<em>add 10 to each side</em>
<em>5x-10+10 = 10 + 10</em>
<em>5x=20</em>
5x = 0 <em>this is the error</em>
He needs to add 10 to each side
Option A is true because the sum of angles in a triangle is 180, so we can rule that one out immediately.
We can solve for x for the other 3 options by setting up this equation:
7x+2 + 4x+7 + 8x = 180 | Simplify
19x + 9 = 180 | Subtract 9
19x = 171 | Divide by 19
x=9
Now we can substitute x into all the values:
<J = 7x+2 = 65
<L = 4x+7 = 43
<K = 8x = 72
Looking at the options again, we can see that A, B, and D are true, leaving C to be false.
