If you mean f(x)=x+\frac1x, then the derivative is

\displaystyle f'(x) = \lim_{h\to0} \frac{\left(x+h+\frac1{x+h}\right) - \left(x+\frac1x\right)}h \\\\ = \lim_{h\to0} \frac{(x+h)-x}h + \lim_{h\to0} \frac{\frac1{x+h} - \frac1x}h \\\\ = \lim_{h\to0} \frac hh + \lim_{h\to0} \frac{x-(x+h)}{hx(x+h)} \\\\ = \lim_{h\to0} 1 - \lim_{h\to0} \frac h{hx(x+h)} \\\\ = 1 - \lim_{h\to0} \frac1{x(x+h)} \\\\ = \boxed{1 - \frac1{x^2}}

If you mean f(x) = \frac{x+1}x = 1 + \frac1x, we know from above that

\displaystyle \left(\frac1x\right)' = \lim_{h\to0} \frac{\frac1{x+h}-\frac1x}h = -\frac1{x^2}

which leaves the constant term, whose derivative is

\displaystyle (1)' = \lim_{h\to0}\frac{1 - 1}h = 0

and so

f'(x) = -\dfrac1{x^2}

Answer:

since there are 8 cards, and 2 say WIN, 6 of the 8 cards don't say WIN. You can express this as a ratio of 6:8 which equals 3:4, so the probability that neither says win is 75%.

Evaluate f(2) for the function f(x) = 3x² + 2x - 5.
Softa [21]

Answer:

f(2)= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to substitute 2 for every x you see:

                       f(x) = 3x² + 2x - 5

                       f(2)= 3(2)^2+2(2)-5

                       f(2)= 11
