Finding Derivative of a Point?
Favourite answer:g(x) = 4x² - 2x + 15 ← this is a function
g(5) = 100 - 10 + 15 = 105 → the representative curve of the function passes through (5 ; 105)
g'(x) = 8x - 2 ← this is its derivative
g'(5) = 40 - 2 = 38 ← this is in fact the slope of the tangent line to the curve at point (5 ; 105)
g(x) = 4x² - 2x + 15 ← this is the function → to calculate the derivative:
Lim [g(x₀ + h) - g(x₀)] / h
h → 0
Lim [ { 4.(x₀ + h)² - 2.(x₀ + h) + 15 } - { 4x₀² - 2x₀ + 15 } ] / h
h → 0
Lim [ { 4.(x₀² + 2x₀.h + h²) - 2x₀ - 2h + 15 } - 4x₀² + 2x₀ - 15 ] / h
h → 0
Lim [4x₀² + 8x₀.h + 4h² - 2x₀ - 2h + 15 - 4x₀² + 2x₀ - 15] / h
h → 0
Lim [8x₀.h + 4h² - 2h] / h
h → 0
Lim h.[8x₀ + 4h - 2] / h
h → 0
Lim (8x₀ + 4h - 2) = 8x₀ - 2
h → 0
g'(x₀) = 8x - 2
g'(5) = 40 - 2 = 38 ← this is the same result (above)

graph your equations: 2x + 3y = 7 and y=2x + 27 label them properly, including point of intersection?
Favourite answer:2x + 3y = 7 eq1 and y=2x + 27 eq2
plug in eq2 to eq1
2x + 3(2x + 27) = 7
2x + 6x + 81 = 7
8x = 7 - 81
8x = -74
x = -37/4 Answer//
solving for y at eq2
y = 2(-37/4) + 27 = 17/2 Answer//
