By the definition of the derivative,

f'(x)=\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h

\implies y'=\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{(4(x+h)^2-9(x+h)-6)-(4x^2-9x-6)}h

Simplify the numerator:

4(x+h)^2-9(x+h)-6=4(x^2+2xh+h^2)-9(x+h)-6

=4x^2+8xh+4h^2-9x-9h-6

Subtracting 4x^2-9x-6 removes all the terms here not involving h, so the limit reduces to

y'=\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{8xh+4h^2-9h}h

Cancel the factor h in the numerator and denominator:

y'=\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}(8x+4h-9)

As h\to0, we're left with

\boxed{y'=8x-9}

If (x, y) = (3, 4) is a solution of the simultaneous equations.
Vinvika [58]
The first thing you want to do is plug in x and y into both equations:

a(3) + b(4) = 4

b(3) + a(4) = 8

rearrange to line up a’s and b’s

3a + 4b = 4

4a + 3b = 8

now you want to choose a or b and multiply each equation by a number to make them have the same amount of a’s or b’s.

4(3a + 4b = 4) = 12a + 16b = 16

3(4a + 3b = 8) = 12a + 9b = 24


Now we subtract the bottom equation from the top and solve for b:

12a + 16b - (12a + 9b) = 16 - 24

7b = -8

b = -8/7


Now we plug back in for b to one of the original equations:

3a + 4(-8/7) = 4

3a + (-32/7) = 4

3a - (32/7) = 4

3a = 4 + (32/7)

3a = (28/7) + (32/7)

3a = 60/7

a = (60/7)/3 = 20/7.


Finally, plug a and b in together to double check using the second equation.

4a + 3b = 8

4(20/7) + 3(-8/7) = ?

(80/7) - (24/7) = ?

56/7 = 8.

Find the absolute extrema of f(x) = e^{x^2+2x}f ( x ) = e x 2 + 2 x on the interval [-2,2][ − 2 , 2 ] first and then use the com
fredd [130]

f(x)=e^{x^2+2x}\implies f'(x)=2(x+1)e^{x^2+2x}

f has critical points where the derivative is 0:

2(x+1)e^{x^2+2x}=0\implies x+1=0\implies x=-1

The second derivative is

f''(x)=2e^{x^2+2x}+4(x+1)^2e^{x^2+2x}=2(2x^2+4x+3)e^{x^2+2x}

and f''(-1)=\frac2e>0, which indicates a local minimum at x=-1 with a value of f(-1)=\frac1e.

At the endpoints of [-2, 2], we have f(-2)=1 and f(2)=e^8, so that f has an absolute minimum of \frac1e and an absolute maximum of e^8 on [-2, 2].

So we have

\dfrac1e\le f(x)\le e^8

\implies\displaystyle\int_{-2}^2\frac{\mathrm dx}e\le\int_{-2}^2f(x)\,\mathrm dx\le\int_{-2}^2e^8\,\mathrm dx

\implies\boxed{\displaystyle\frac4e\le\int_{-2}^2f(x)\,\mathrm dx\le4e^8}

a pair of basketball shoes was originally priced at $80, but was marked up 37.5%. what was the retail price of the shoes
Galina-37 [17]
37.5% of $80 = $30
Since it is marked up, you add $30 to the current price. 
$80 + $30 = $110.
