Hi there, I just started calculus and I'm having trouble with these particular questions, my teacher has a hard time teaching and doesn't really care about online students, so it has been really hard teaching myself.

Hi s.h_math,

Do you mind copy/pasting the text of the question instead of linking the images? The questions are easier to reference when answering. Or you can upload the pictures to our website, and it automatically converts them to text.

Find the equation of the tangent line for each of the following functions at each given value of x and draw the graph of the function and the tangent line. Also. Indicate In your graph the point of intersection between the
curve and the tangent line:

I am assuming he wants you to graph these equations on an x-y plane and then create a tangent line from it.

Did your teacher teach the definition of a derivative yet? That is: f(x) = [ f(x+h) - f(x) ] / h ?

Here's what (a) should look like:



It looks like the equation of the tangent is: \(y = -2x - 1\)

Here's what (b) should look like:

It is because it's saying the image is too short, not sure why because that's what I usually do, sorry sir.

Yeah, that's weird. What's the exact error?

Does the website where you get to see the questions allow you to copy the text?


5) A company that sells sweatshirts finds that the profit can be modelled by \(P(s) =-0.30s^2 + 3.5s + 11.15\) where P(s) is the profit. in thousands of dollars, and s is the number of sweatshirts sold (expressed in thousands).

For this question, you have to repeat these steps for ii, iii, and iv




Example 2: A rock is tossed upward from a diff that is 120 meters the water The height of rock —5t2 + tot + 120. where h is above the water is modelled by h(t) seconds. Calculate the average rate of change in height during each time intervals.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME LEARN, ITS REALLY BEEN HARD FOR ME BECAUSE OF MY TEACHER. ONLINE SCHOOL ISN'T THE BEST FOR TEACHERS BECAUSE I GUESS ITS HARD FOR THEM TO FOCUS ON ONLINE STUDENTS. HOWEVER, THE TEACHER DOESN'T EVEN TRY. SO, THNK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR ALWAYS BEING A GREAT HELP FOR ME Slight Smile.

I made a nasty error here.

I divided by 2, but I should have divided by one because the interval is between 0 and 1, so 1 minus 0.

Apologies for that.

Oh no problem, for average correct?

For the next question I would also divide by one correct?

For that same link, right? Yes, between 1 and 2 would mean you divide by 1 also because 2 - 1 is 1.

Does that make sense?

yes for sure, Thank you!

sir for the first question, the teacher wants us to use the equation he wrote where you used a graph.

The one that looks like \(m=\frac{f\left(x+h\right)-f\left(x\right)}{h}\) ?

Yes, that's correct!

Ok, I did this really quickly because I have a class to teach for the next two hours. Review it, see if it makes sense, and I'll reply back as soon as I can.

I understand, but I'm not sure where you got +5 after the +3.

y = x^2 - 6x + 3
y = (2)^2 - 6(2) + 3
y = 4 - 12 + 3 = -5

Once you put that into the formula, two negatives make a positive, hence +5
