Answer:

Apples and Peaches

Step-by-step explanation:

It is convenient to compare the prices for 3 lbs of each of the fruits.

Multiply the price and quantity of Apples by 4:

... 4×(3/4 lb) = 4×$1.59

... 3 lb = $6.36 . . . . for apples

Multiply the price and quantity of Plums by 6:

... 6×(0.5 lb) = 6×$1.15

... 3 lb = $6.90 . . . . for plums

The two lowest-priced fruits are apples (6.36/(3 lb)) and peaches (5.37/(3 lb)).

Comment on the best deal

No criteria are provided for determining the best deal. Though plums are higher-priced, they have somewhat higher polyphenol content than apples or peaches, so may provide the best deal in terms of nutrition per dollar.

Given f(x) = 3/4 x + 12, find the value of x when f(x) = x.

12345 [234]

Answer:

The rigth answer is, x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As:

f (x) = 3/4 x + 12

They separate the terms:

3/4 x = 12

Then, what you are multiplying happens to divide:

x = 12/1/3/4

Media are divided by means and ends with ends, and we have as a result that:

x = 3/3 = 1

F(x) = e^-x . Find the equation of the tangent to f(x) at x=-1

natima [27]

Answer:

The equation of the tangent line is given by the following equation:

$\displaystyle y - \frac{1}{e} = \frac{-1}{e} \bigg( x - 1 \bigg)$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

x₁ - x coordinate
y₁ - y coordinate
m - slope

Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]:
$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)$

Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]:
$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

Recall that the definition of the derivative is the slope of the tangent line.

Step 1: Define

Identify given.

$\displaystylef(x) = e^{-x} \\x = -1$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] Apply Exponential Differentiation [Derivative Rule - Chain Rule]:
$\displaystyle f'(x) = e^{-x}(-x)'$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Derivative Rule - Multiplied Constant]:
$\displaystyle f'(x) = -e^{-x}(x)'$
[Derivative] Apply Derivative Rule [Derivative Rule - Basic Power Rule]:
$\displaystyle f'(x) = -e^{-x}$
