Compute the derivative of <em>y</em> = (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2)² using the chain rule:
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2 (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2) d/d<em>x</em> [<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2]
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 2 (<em>x</em>² + <em>x</em> - 2) (2<em>x</em> + 1)
Evaluate the derivative at <em>x</em> = -1 :
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> (-1) = 2 ((-1)² + (-1) - 2) (2 (-1) + 1) = 4
This is the slope of the tangent line to the function at (-1, 4).
Use the point-slope formula to get the equation for the tangent line:
<em>y</em> - 4 = 4 (<em>x</em> - (-1)) → <em>y</em> = 4<em>x</em> + 8
Answer:
a part of a line that has one endpoint and extends indefinitely in one direction
Step-by-step explanation:
a ray has one endpoint, then has an arrow going indefinitely in one direction.
Answer:
Garrett can order stickers from two companies. Company A charges a $30 design fee plus $0.80 per sticker. Company B charges a $14 design fee plus $1.20 per sticker. How many stickers would Garrett have to order for the cost at both companies to be the same?
Step-by-step explanation:
i got it right
Answer:
Not rlly sure, might be x=4/5y??? i dont know
Is that negative 2 minus 8? if so put that into the calculator and add 8 to both sides and divide by 2 after that. simple algebra
