Find the derivative of f(x) = -9/x at x = 6

Svet_ta [14]3 years ago

F(x)=-9/x which is equal to:

f(x)=-9x^(-1)  So the power rule for differentiation is used...

Power rule:  f(x)=x^e, df/dx=ex^(e-1) so:

df/dx=-9(-1)x^(-1-1)

df/dx=9x^(-2)  or if you prefer...

df/dx=9/x^2

df/dx(6)=9/36=1/4

True or false: two points with the same x-coordinate are always on the same vertical line
Vesna [10]
True, you can even test it out yourself. If the domain (x) is the same then it will be a vertical line. Like if you graphed (1,2) (1,4), (1,6) it will be a vertical line on your graph. I hope this helps!

Solve: sin2x cosx + cos 2x sin x = √3/2
ludmilkaskok [199]
We are given with the expression or equation s<span>in2x cosx + cos 2x sin x = √3/2. The expression can be patterned from the trigonometric identity sin (a + b) = sin a cos B + cos A sin B. In this case, the expression is equal to sin 3x = sqrt 3 /2. using arc sign, x is equal to pi/9 </span>
