Find the derivative of f(x) = 5 divided by x at x = -1. (1 point)

Mathematics
1 answer:
marin [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The power rule can be used.

  f(x) = 5x^-1

  f'(x) = 5(-1)x^(-1-1)

  f'(x) = -5x^-2

Then ...

  f'(-1) = -5(-1)^-2

  f'(-1) = -5

_____

The attached graph shows the value of the derivative at x=-1, along with a tangent line having that slope at the point (-1, f(-1)).

A cone with a radius of 3" has a total area of 24π sq. in. Find the volume of the cone.
Rus_ich [418]
The answer is 12π.

To get the volume of the cone, we need the height. The radius is given.

V = πr² × (h/3)

The total surface area of the cone is:
SA = πr² + πrl where r is radius and l is slant height

24π = π(3)² + π(3)(l)
24π = 9π + 3πl
24π - 9π = 3πl
15π = 3πl
l = 15π / 3π
l = 5

Using Phytagoras, we can calculate the height of the cone:
l² = h² + r²
5² = h² + 3²
25 - 9 = h²
h = √16
h = 4

Therefore the volume is:
V = π(3)² × (4 / 3)
V = 3π × 4
V = 12π
