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

Mathematics

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)).

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to y=47x−3 and passes through (14, 4)?
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where

m = slope

c = intercept

The equation of the given line is

y = 47x - 3

Comparing with the slope intercept equation, m = 47

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line passing through (14, 4) is 47

We would determine the intercept, c by substituting m= 47, x = 14 and y = 4 into y = mx + c. It becomes

4 = 47× 14 + c

4 = 658 + c

c = 4 - 658 = - 654

The equation becomes

y = 47x - 654
