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
Answer:
x - intercepts: (-5,0), (5,0), (7,0)
I'm not sure if you would count these, but x and y also have the intercept of (0,0).
66 is your answer if you need anything else ask someone
1) B 60 roses 10 carnations
2) D (3,-2),(-2,-6),(3,4)
