Fraction of shampoo left = \frac{13}{24}

Solution:

Given fraction of full shampoo  =\frac{7}{8}.

Fraction of shampoo Margaret used  =\frac{1}{3}

Fraction of shampoo left = Full shampoo – fraction of shampoo used

                                          =\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{3}

To make the denominators same do cross multiplication.

                                          =\frac{7\times3}{8\times3}-\frac{1\times8}{3\times8}

                                          =\frac{21}{24}-\frac{8}{24}

                                          =\frac{21-8}{24}

                                          =\frac{13}{24}

Hence \frac{13}{24} of the shampoo bottle is left.

How to differentiate y=x^n using the first principle. In this question, I cannot use the rule of differentiation. I have to do t
Zarrin [17]

By first principles, the derivative is

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{(x+h)^n-x^n}h

Use the binomial theorem to expand the numerator:

(x+h)^n=\displaystyle\sum_{i=0}^n\binom nix^{n-i}h^i=\binom n0x^n+\binom n1x^{n-1}h+\cdots+\binom nnh^n

(x+h)^n=x^n+nx^{n-1}h+\dfrac{n(n-1)}2x^{n-2}h^2+\cdots+nxh^{n-1}+h^n

where

\dbinom nk=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

The first term is eliminated, and the limit is

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\frac{nx^{n-1}h+\dfrac{n(n-1)}2x^{n-2}h^2+\cdots+nxh^{n-1}+h^n}h

A power of h in every term of the numerator cancels with h in the denominator:

\displaystyle\lim_{h\to0}\left(nx^{n-1}+\dfrac{n(n-1)}2x^{n-2}h+\cdots+nxh^{n-2}+h^{n-1}\right)

Finally, each term containing h approaches 0 as h\to0, and the derivative is

y=x^n\implies y'=nx^{n-1}

From first principle find the derivative of logx​
Archy [21]

Hello!

\large\boxed{\frac{dy}{dx}logx = \frac{1}{xln10}  }

Recall that:

logx can be rewritten as:

log_{10}x

Use the equation for the derivative of a log expression:

\frac{dy}{dx}log_{a}u = \frac{1}{ulna} * u'

Substitute in the values in the expression:

logx = \frac{1}{xln10} * 1 = \frac{1}{xln10}
