Hi there!

$\huge\boxed{-10}$

f(x) = -2x - 3

Plug in 0 for "x" to solve for f(0):

f(0) = -2(0) - 3

f(0) = -3

Since the question is asking you to evaluate f(0) - 7, simply subtract:

-3 - 7 = -10.

There are 5 times as many yellow labs as terriers in the dog park .if there are a total of 18 dogs how many dogs are terriers?

tekilochka [14]

Let t = number of terriers
1 x t = number of total terriers
5 x t = number of yellow labs
1t + 5t = 6t
6t = total number of dogs in the park
6t = 18
t = 18/6
t = 3
there are 3 terriers

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

$\displaystyle y = \frac{3}{2x^2}$

$\displaystyle \text{Point} \ (1, \frac{3}{2})$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y = \frac{3}{2}x^{-2}$
Basic Power Rule: $\displaystyle y' = -2 \cdot \frac{3}{2}x^{-2 - 1}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle y' = -3x^{-3}$
Rewrite [Exponential Rule - Rewrite]: $\displaystyle y' = \frac{-3}{x^3}$

Step 3: Solve

Substitute in coordinate [Derivative]: $\displaystyle y'(1, \frac{3}{2}) = \frac{-3}{1^3}$
Evaluate exponents: $\displaystyle y'(1, \frac{3}{2}) = \frac{-3}{1}$
Divide: $\displaystyle y'(1, \frac{3}{2}) = -3$
