Answer:

Thus, we say that x2 is "x raised to the power of two" or equivalently "x squared" (which is x mulitplied by itself). ... The number represented here as x is called the base, and n is called the power or exponent.

We say that it is squared because we are multiplying that number twice. A square has two sides, therefore we are squaring the number.

Determine the function f(x) satisfying the given conditions.
Furkat [3]
<span>f''(x) means function is of grade 1
f(x) = ax + b

f'(x) = a
f'(5) = 1 </span>⇒ a = 1

f(4) = -2
f(4) = 1×4 + b
-2 = 4 + b
b = -6

f(x) = x - 6
