Hello! There are a few ways to find the derivative. One famous formula is below:

Note, t = x = 8

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{h}

To find the derivative of s(t) = -9 - 3t let insert it into our formula:

\frac{f(x + h) - f(x)}{h}

\frac{(-9 - 3(x + h)) - (-9 - 3x)}{h}

Insert x = 8

\frac{(-9 - 3(8 + h)) - (-9 - 3(8))}{h}

Do the Math

\frac{(-9 - 3(8 + h)) - (-9 - 3(8))}{h}

\frac{(-9 - 24 - 3h)) + 9 +24)}{h}

Group Like Terms

\frac{-9 + 9- 24 +24 - 3h )}{h}

Cancel Terms and Finish Doing The Math

\frac{-9 + 9- 24 +24 - 3h )}{h}

\frac{ -3h }{h}

\frac{ -3h }{h} = -3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So when t = 8 the instantaneous velocity = -3

Estimate the sum of 196 + 482
pshichka [43]
The estimated sum of 196 and 482 is 700.

We do estimates when we do mental calculation. We relate the number to the nearest number that can easily be computed mentally.

196 is near 200 so we round it up to 200
482 is near 500 so we round it up to 500

Thus, 200 + 500 = 700.

700 is the estimated sum.

A number increased by 5 then divided by 2
alex41 [277]

Answer:

(x + 5) /2

Step-by-step explanation:

"a number" (this will represent as "x")

"increased" another way to say add or "+"

then divided by 2

If you wrote it out like this "x+5/2"it would be wrong because of PEMDAS making you want to divide first instead of after.
