Ответ:
So the midpoint of your segment is
Perhaps it helps to see that the x-coordinate of the midpoint is just the average of the x-coordinates of the points. Ditto for the y-coordinate of the midpoint; just average the y's.
Ответ:
yes, part c is completely independent of parts a and b.
they give you information about a point and the slope of a tangent line at that particular point. then they tell you to find the values of a and b.
since the derivative gives the tangent line slope, we can differentiate with respect to , with and as constants.
my reasoning is this: notice how the formula for the derivative from part b was in terms of x and y. we do know that and and the value of the derivative (the slope) being , so if we differentiate, we might be able to solve for one of our constants.
note that because is a constant, not a function of . so if we differentiated, we could end up solving for .
our derivative has an unknown constant of a. but we can find this constant with our information.
the tangent line at point has to have a slope of . substitute 1 for , 3 for , and for .
to get the value of , use this value of a along with the given coordinates on the equation of the curve.
i confirmed my answer using a graphing calculator like desmos, attached. it seems like a reasonable tangent line.
