Hi there!
The derivative of the function is the slope of the function at a specific x-value, or its instantaneous rate of change.
For example, take the equation y = x².
Using the power rule, we get:
y' = 2x
If we plug in any x-value into this equation, we can find the slope of the function at any point.
Ex:
x = 0; 2(0) = slope of 0
x = 2; 2(2) = slope of 4
6 2/5 is the answer, because 15 1/2 divided by 2 2/5 is 6 2/5

Answer:
The building is 187.5 feet tall.
Step-by-step explanation:
A nearby person is 6 feet tall, and casts a shadow that is 8 feet long.
This means that the relation between the real height and the shadow is given by:

A tall building casts a shadow that is 250 feet long. How tall is the building?*
The real height is three fourths of the shadow. So

The building is 187.5 feet tall.
Answer:
41.79%
Step-by-step explanation:
To be on the swim team, we look at the right most (total) number int he table of "on the swim team" row. That is 28.
The grand total is the bottom-rightmost. That is 67.
Hence, probability of being on swim team is 28/67 = 41.79%
