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

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)).

If you graph the line x=-6 what type of slope would it have?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-6 is a vertical line at x=-6.

Any vertical line has an undefined slope.

Let's pick two points on x=-6– (-6,1) and (-6,0)

(1-0)/(-6-(-6))=1/-6+6=1/0

Because you cannot divide by 0, a vetical line has an undefined slope.

no, this reason being is because lets say she needed to know exact angle. she would need to know which rotational way to turn (left right up down, etc.) if this informaton is given to the pilot, they may be left confused and they make the wrong turn or wrong direction.
