Answer:

a) f'(x)=6

b) f'(x)=12

c) f'(x)=2kx

Step-by-step explanation:

To find :  From the definition of the derivative find the derivative for each of the following functions ?

Solution :

Definition of the derivative is

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h})

Applying in the functions,

a) f(x)=6x

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(\frac{6(x+h)-6x}{h})

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(\frac{6x+6h-6x}{h})

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(\frac{6h}{h})

f'(x)=6

b) f(x)=12x-2

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(\frac{12(x+h)-2-(12x-2)}{h})

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(\frac{12x+12h-2-12x+2}{h})

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(\frac{12h}{h})

f'(x)=12

c) f(x)=kx^2 for k a constant

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(\frac{k(x+h)^2-kx^2}{h})

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(\frac{k(x^2+h^2+2xh-kx^2)}{h})

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(\frac{kx^2+kh^2+2kxh-kx^2}{h})

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(\frac{h(kh+2kx)}{h})

f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0}(kh+2kx)

f'(x)=2kx

Which function is quadratic?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

step 1. A, B,D are incorrectly written as these are not all coordinates. they must be written (x, y)

step 2. so the question becomes is C a quadratic

step 3. The x values must be evenly spaced. the x values are evenly spaced by a difference of 4

step 4. write out the y values: -126, -14, 2, 18

step 5. write out the differences: 140, 16, 16

step 6. write out the differences: -124, 0.

step 7. after doing this twice the numbers nust be the same for this to be a quadratic which they aren't

step 8. C is not a quadratic.
