You're correct, the answer is C.
Given any function of the form
, then the derivative of y with respect to x (
) is written as:
In which
is any constant, this is called the power rule for differentiation.
For this example we have
, first lets get rid of the quotient and write the expression in the form :
Now we can directly apply the rule stated at the beginning (in which
):
Note that whenever we differentiate a function, we simply "ignore" the constants (we take them out of the derivative).

Step-by-step explanation:
First, the pizza is 18 inches in diameter, so
and, because the radium is half of the diameter,
<u>Note that the units are inches.</u>
Using the equation
where a is the area of a circle, we know that the area of the whole pizza is approx.254.5 square inches. Divide by 8 to find the area of 1/8 of a pizza. Each slice will have an area of approx. 32 square inches. For a precise result, the answer is
where a(s) is the area of a slice of pizza, and s is the total number of slices, given they are equal in size.
