1 answer:

3 0

A) 324

I divided 240 by 20 to get how much it would cost per kg. For each KG the cost is $12. So then I multiplied 12 by what was asked of you (27) which lead me to the answer of 324.

B) 512
Same concept as A. Divide to get how much gasoline is used per mile. That was 4 miles per 1 gas. Multiply 4 by whatever you have been asked for (128). That leads you to 512.

C) 648

Same concept as above.

D) 5,445

Greetings. As a beginner, I'm struggling a bit to learn calculus. May I know what is the derivative of x to the power 4 step by

If you're just starting calculus, perhaps you're asking about using the definition of the derivative to differentiate $x^4$ .

We have

$\dfrac{d}{dx} x^4 = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0} \frac{(x+h)^4 - x^4}h$

Expand the numerator using the binomial theorem, then simplify and compute the limit.

$\dfrac{d}{dx} x^4 = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0} \frac{(x^4+4hx^3 + 6h^2x^2 + 4h^3x + h^4) - x^4}h \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \lim_{h\to0} \frac{4hx^3 + 6h^2x^2 + 4h^3x + h^4}h \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \lim_{h\to0} (4x^3 + 6hx^2 + 4h^2x + h^3) = \boxed{4x^3}$

In general, the derivative of a power function $f(x) = x^n$ is $\frac{df}{dx} = nx^{n-1}$ . (This is the aptly-named "power rule" for differentiation.)
