Answer:

Volume of Gold = 0.4 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to make sure the units are same as the units the answer is required in.

Answer should be given in cubic feet.

Density is given in pounds per cubic foot. And Mass is given in pounds. So units are in order. Therefore, we can go ahead with the calculation.

The Density of Gold = [Mass of Gold/Volume of Gold]

By substituting values,

$1204$ ponds per cubic foot = [ $481.6$ pounds / Volume of gold]

Making Volume of God the subject of the equation,

Volume of Gold = [ $481.6$ pounds / tex]1204[/tex] ponds per cubic foot ]

Volume of Gold = 0.4 cubic feet.

Find the unknown digit to make each statement true 3.59 > 3.5 1 >3.572

Softa [21]

We are given statement 3.59 > 3.5__1 >3.572.

We have a blank space in between 5 and 1 in the middle number given.

Given statement ccan be read as :

3.59 is greater than 3.5__1 is greater than 3.572.

So, we need to check a number that is less than 3.59 but less than 3.572.

The hundredth place of 3.59 number is 9 and

hundredth place of 3.572 number is 7.

So, we need to find a number between 7 and 9.

8 is the number in between 7 and 9.

So, the known digit can be replaced by 8 to make the statement true.

And final statement is 3.59 > 3.581 >3.572.

1. (5pts) Find the derivatives of the function using the definition of derivative.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

2.8.1

$f(x) = \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-x}}$

By definition of the derivative,

$f'(x) = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

We have

$f(x+h) = \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-(x+h)}}$

and

$f(x+h)-f(x) = \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-(x+h)}} - \dfrac4{\sqrt{3-x}}$

Combine these fractions into one with a common denominator:

$f(x+h)-f(x) = \dfrac{4\sqrt{3-x} - 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}}$

Rationalize the numerator by multiplying uniformly by the conjugate of the numerator, and simplify the result:

$f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{\left(4\sqrt{3-x} - 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{\left(4\sqrt{3-x}\right)^2 - \left(4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)^2}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{16(3-x) - 16(3-(x+h))}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ f(x+h) - f(x) = \dfrac{16h}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)}$

Now divide this by h and take the limit as h approaches 0 :

$\dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-(x+h)}\right)} \\\\ \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h = \dfrac{16}{\sqrt{3-x}\sqrt{3-x}\left(4\sqrt{3-x} + 4\sqrt{3-x}\right)} \\\\ \implies f'(x) = \dfrac{16}{4\left(\sqrt{3-x}\right)^3} = \boxed{\dfrac4{(3-x)^{3/2}}}$
