For simplicity, dy/dx means f'(x);
We have y = ( 8 - x^2 ) / 2x;
Then, y = 4/x - x/2;
So, f'(x) = (4/x - x/2)' = (4/x)' - (x/2)' = -4/(x^2) -1/2 because we use differentiation formulas, such as : (f+g)' = f' + g'; (cf)' = cf'; x'=1; (1/x)' = -1/(x^2);
Finally, f'(4) = -4/16 -1/2 = -4/16 - 8/16 = -12/16 = -3/4.
The correct answer is E.

Answer:

Part A

$f(n)=52-12(n-1)$

$f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}52\: \:if \: \:n=1 & \\f(n+1)+12& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right.$

Part B

$(2,4,8,16,32)\: \:$ Geometric Sequence

Part C

1/4,3/4,5/4,7/4,9/4

$g(n)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}(n-1)\\f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1/4if \: \:n=1 & \\ f(n+1)+2/4& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right$

Part D:

$h(n)=1.1+0.4(n-1)\\h(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1.1 & if\:n=1 \\ h(n+1)+0.4 & if\:n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, an Arithmetic Sequence holds the same difference between each following number.

Part A

$(52,40, 28, 16)\\52-40=12\\40-28=12\\28-16=12\\d=12$

Explicit Formula

To write an explicit formula is to write it as function.

$f(n)=52-12(n-1)$

Recursive Formula

To write it as recursive formula, is to write it as recurrence given to some restrictions:

$f(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}52\: \:if \: \:n=1 & \\f(n+1)+12& if\: n\geq 2 \end{matrix}\right.$

Part B

$(2,4,8,16,32)\: \:$

Geometric Sequence, since 2*2=4 8*2=16 and 16*2=32 and 8+2=10 8+16=24

Part C

$(\frac{1}{4},\frac{3}{4},\frac{5}{4},\frac{7}{4},\frac{9}{4})\\\$

Arithmetic Sequence, difference

$d=\frac{2}{4}$

Explicit Formula:

$g(n)=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}(n-1)$

Recursive Formula

$g(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}\frac{1}{4} &if\:n=1 \\ g(n+1)+\frac{2}{4} &if\: n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right.$

Part D

(1.1,1.5,1.9,2.3,2.7) Arithmetic Sequence, difference d=0.4

Explicit formula

$h(n)=1.1+0.4(n-1)\\$

Recursive Formula

$h(n)=\left\{\begin{matrix}1.1 &if\:n=1 \\ h(n+1)+0.4 &if\: n\geq 2\end{matrix}\right.$

Maria takes 2 hours to plant 50 flower bulbs. Lois takes 3 hours to plant 45 flower bulbs. Working together, how long should it

kherson [118]

Answer:

Maria: (50 bulbs)/(2 hours) = 25 bulbs/hour

Lois: (45 bulbs)/(3 hours) = 15 bulbs/hour

Together: 25 + 15 = 40 bulbs/hour

(150 bulbs)/(40 bulbs per hour) = 3 3/4 hours

(3/4 hours)(60 minutes/hour) = 45 minutes

Total time: 3 hours 45 minutes
