I'm learning to play D&D and I'm following the Frozen Sick adventure from D&D Beyond. At some point, the players need to open a door with "AC 15, 18 hit points". I think AC means Armor Class, so I need to roll a D20 and get at least 15 to hit the door. But what does the "18 hit" mean?

Compute $\int \tan^{-1}x \,dx$. First, set $u = \arctan(x)$ and $dv = dx.$ We want to find $du$ and we already have $v = x.$ We start by taking the tangent of both sides, leaving us with $\tan(u) = x.$ Next, using implicit differentiation, we get $\frac{du}{dx}\sec^2(u) = 1,$ or $\frac{du}{dx} = ...

Given the point of tangency $(a, f(a))$, why does using the equation $y = f'(a)(x-a) + f(a)$ give the equation of the tangent? I understand that $f'(a)$ is the gradient, but I'm not sure why multiplying it with $(x -a)$ and adding $f(a)$ gives the $y-$intercept of the line.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COBOL the project to design COBOL began when On 28 and 29 May 1959 (exactly one year after the Zürich ALGOL 58 meeting), a meeting was held at the Pentagon to discuss the creation of a common programming language for business.
