a(7)_x=-0,76a(7)x=0,76
a(7)_y=2*7=14a(7)y=27=14
a(7)=14,02a(7)=14,02
alpha=86,89^oα=86,89o

a(t)_x=d/(d t) (sqrt(t-2)-t)=1/(2*sqrt(t-2))-1a(t)x=ddt(t2t)=12t21

a(7)_x=1/(2*sqrt(7-2))-1a(7)x=12721

a(7)_x=1/(2*sqrt5)-1a(7)x=1251

a(7)_x=(1-2*sqrt5)/(2*sqrt5)a(7)x=12525

a(7)_x=((1-2*sqrt5)*(2*sqrt5))/((2*sqrt5)*(2*sqrt5))a(7)x=(125)(25)(25)(25)

a(7)_x=(2*sqrt5-20)/20a(7)x=252020

a(7)_x=(sqrt5-10)/10=(2,37-10)/10=-0,76a(7)x=51010=2,371010=0,76

a(t)_y=d/(d t) (t^2)=2*ta(t)y=ddt(t2)=2t

a(7)_y=2*7=14a(7)y=27=14

a(7)=sqrt((a(x)_7)^2+(a(7)_y)^2)a(7)=(a(x)7)2+(a(7)y)2

a(7)=sqrt(((-0,76)^2+14^2)a(7)=((0,76)2+142)

a(7)=sqrt(0,58+196)a(7)=0,58+196

a(7)=14,02a(7)=14,02

tan alpha=(a(7)_y)/(a(7)_x)tanα=a(7)ya(7)x

tan alpha=14/(-0,76)tanα=140,76

tan alpha=-18,42tanα=18,42

alpha=86,89^oα=86,89o
