Which mineral property is illustrated by the peeling of muscovite mica into thin, flat sheets?

You need to figure out at which x-value does the graph has a tangent line slope of -1.remember, the derivative is the slope of the tangent line. so find the derivative function and set it to equal -1 to find the x-value that will have a tangent line slope of 0.differentiate with the chain rule.    set the derivative to equal -1 and solve for x.      take log base 10 of both sides. also recall that  .    so the x-coord of the point of tangency is .the y-coordinate of this point of tangency can be calculated using the original function:     using point-slope form, the equation of the tangent line is      the x-intercept of this tangent line is when the graph is at y=0.    this rounds off to  .choice c.

At 8.5% i am making after one year 1,500   +  1,500 x 0.08 = $1,620

my credit card cost 1,600 + 1,600 x 0.19 = $1,904


total balance =  interest  (negative)  of credit card + interest earn (positive)

that is  -304 + 120 = -$181
