The function f(x) = x2-8x-9  . It contains the points (1,-16) and (7,-16). Find the intersection of the tangent lines for x = 1 and x = 7

Point is (4,-34)

The lines in point slope form are -6(x-1)-16 and 6(x-7)-16

Add 16 and divide both sides by 6 to get –(x-1) = x-7

Solve to get that x = 4 then use that in one equation to get that y = -34

Two fair 10-sided dice are rolled are their product is computed. Find the probability that the product is divisible by 6? (Hint there are 100 possible outcomes and each one has a 1% chance of occurring)

If one of the die is a 6 the product is automatically divisible by 6 and there are 19 ways that can happen. But we can still get a number that is divisible by 6 from multiplying 3 or 9 by another even number  and there are 16 ways to do that. So we have a 35 ways and a 35% chance this will happen
