The derivative is the rate of change of a function, basically represents the slope at different points. To find the derivative of the given function you can use the power rule, which means, if n is a real number, d/dx(x^n)= nx^(n-1). This is a simplification of the chain rule based on the fact that d/dx(x)=1. Anyway, this means that d/dx(x^3 + 1)= 3x^2. Here n is 3 and so it is 3*x^(3-1)= 3x^2. The derivative of x^3+1 is 3x^2.
If you are wondering what happened to the 1, for any constant C, d/dx(C)=0.
Answer:
(-6,-9)
Step-by-step explanation:
This is similar to the other question you posted. Follow the same steps as before.
First find g(41).
g(41) = sqrt{x - 5}
g(41) = sqrt{41 - 5}
g(41) = sqrt{36}
g(41) = 6
We now find f(6).
f(6) = -7(6) + 1
f(6) = -42 + 1
f(6) = -41
Answer:
(fºg)(41) = -41
