By first principles, the derivative is

Use the binomial theorem to expand the numerator:


where

The first term is eliminated, and the limit is

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

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

















Brainliest? :) (I'd really appreciate if you mark me as brainliest)

Answer:
D. 
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of a line is given by:

The line given to us has equation;
.
The slope of this line is -4. The of the line perpendicular to this line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line.
Our slope of interest is therefore; 
Since the point goes through (-2,7), we have
.
We plug in the slope and the point into the point-slope formula to obain;

The required equation is:

Answer:
y= 
Step-by-step explanation:
switch the x and y and solve for y.
