You could do the question the way it is written, but it is far easier to bring the negative power up to the numerator.
y= x^2 - 3. The derivative of that is
dy/dx = 2x The three is a constant and is always dropped when a derivative is taken
d(-3)/dx = 0
If you are a purist and want to solve the question the way it is written, you could do it this way.
dy/dx = d(1)/dx x^-2 - d(x^-2)/dx * 1
======================
(x^-2)^2
dy/dx = - (-2 x^ - 3) / x^-4
dy/dx = 2 x^-3 * x^4
dy/dx = 2 x^(-3 + 4)
dy/dx = 2x ^ 1
dy/dx = 2x <<<<< answer
The sum of n terms of a geometric series is given by
Substituting the given numbers, you have
There are 6 terms in the series.
Answer:
f(-4) = 6
f(0) = -6
f(1) = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term a1 is given to be -4. The formula for the next terms: an = an-1 + 7 means to add 7 to the previous term to get the next.
-4, 3, 10, 17, 24, 31
