<h3>Answer: -1</h3>

Explanation:

The given equation is the same as y = -1x^4+4x^2

The leading term is the term with the largest exponent, so it's -1x^4

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the leading term.

In short, we circle the first coefficient we see. This is assuming that the polynomial is in standard form where the exponents decrease when going from left to right.

Find (a) the slope of the curve at the given point P, and (b) an equation of the tangent line at P: y = 9x^2 + 5 ; P (2,41)

Flauer [41]

Answer:

(a) 36

(b) y = 36x-31

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) dy/dx = 18x

slope of tangent at (2, 41) = 18(2)

= 36

(b) using y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-41 = 36(x-2)

y = 36x-31

Ž + 1 = 9 Ox = 16 x = 20 Ox = 4 Ox=5

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

-- = 9-1 ...... first shift 1 and it will be -1

x = 8 ....... secondly 9-1 =8

x = 16 ..... criss cross and 2×8 = 16

there fore the value of x is equals to 16.

Given rs || qp, what is the value of x?

myrzilka [38]

In the given figure,

Angle 108° + 12x = 180°

because they for pair of co- interior angles which are supplementary.

so,

$12x + 108\degree = 180\degree$

$12x = 180\degree - 108\degree$

$12x = 72\degree$

$x = \dfrac{72\degree}{12}$

$x = 6\degree$

hence , value of x = 6°
