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

1 answer:

3 0

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

bija089 [108]

Answer:

4 batches

Step-by-step explanation:

Total syrup made by Tamita = 18.5 ounces

Amount of ounces per batch = 4 ounces

If 1 batch = 4 ounces

x batches = 18.5 ounces

Cross multiply

4 * x = 18.5

x = 18.5/4

x = 4.625

Hence she can only make 4 batches of syrup

Answer:

$x =320$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x^2 + 200x = 166400$

Required

Find x

We have:

$x^2 + 200x = 166400$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 + 200x - 166400 = 0$

Expand

$x^2 + 520x - 320x - 166400 = 0$

Factorize

$x(x + 520) - 320(x + 520)= 0$

Factor out x + 520

$(x - 320) (x + 520)= 0$

Split

$x - 320 = 0\ or\ x + 520= 0$

Solve

$x = 320\ or\ x =- 520$

Side length must be positive;

So:

$x = 320$
