The answer is A. Those are the four points that are graphed.
Ax+bx−c=0
Step 1: Add c to both sides.
ax+bx−c+c=0+c
ax+bx=c
Step 2: Factor out variable x.
x(a+b)=c
Step 3: Divide both sides by a+b.
x(a+b)a+b=ca+b
x=ca+b
Get the derivative:
<em>y</em> = (9 - <em>x</em>²)¹ʹ³
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 1/3 (9 - <em>x</em>²)⁻²ʹ³ d/d<em>x</em> [9 - <em>x</em>²]
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = 1/3 (9 - <em>x</em>²)⁻²ʹ³ (-2<em>x</em>)
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> = -2/3 <em>x</em> (9 - <em>x</em>²)⁻²ʹ³
Evaluate it at <em>x</em> = 1 :
d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> (1) = -2/3 • 8⁻²ʹ³
Since 8 = 2³, we have
8⁻²ʹ³ = 1 / 8²ʹ³ = 1 / (2³)²ʹ³ = 1 / 2² = 1/4
Then the tangent line has equation
<em>y</em> - 2 = 1/4 (<em>x</em> - 1) → <em>y</em> = 1/4 <em>x</em> + 7/4
