Given, f(x) = 4/x

We have to find the derivative of it.

First we have to use property of negative exponents. We know that, 1/a = a⁻¹.

So here, f(x) = 4/x = 4x⁻¹

f'(x) = 4×(-1)×(x)⁽⁻¹⁻¹⁾

= 4×(-1)×(x)⁻²

= (-4)(x)⁻²

= -4/x²

So we have got derivative of f(x) which is f'(x) = -4/x²

Now we have to find the derivative at x = 2. To find the value at x =2, we have to plug in 2 in the place of x.

f'(2) = -4/(2)² = -4/4 = -1

We have got the required answer derivative of f(x) at x =2 is -1

So option B is correct.

Brody worked 8.5 hours at Food Lion this week and made $78.20. Based on the number of hours Brody worked and how much he was pai

Lynna [10]

Answer:

1 hour = $9.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says that:

Brody makes $78.20 in 8.5 hours.

So,

8.5 hours = $78.20

We need to find 1 hour pay.

So, divide both sides of the above equation by 8.5

8.5 / 8.5 hours = $78.20 / 8.5

1 hour = $9.2

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Hope this helped!

Last year, a women's professional organization made two small-business loans totaling $28,000 to young women beginning their own

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

$7,000 at a rate of 7% and $21,000 at a rate of 14%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be amount invested at 7% and y be amount invested at 14%.

We have been given that a women's professional organization made two small-business loans totaling $28,000. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$x+y=28,000...(1)$

The interest earned at 7% in one year would be $0.07x$ and interest earned at 14% in one year would be $0.14x$ .

We are also told that the organization received from these loans was $3,430. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$0.07x+0.14y=3,430...(2)$

Form equation (1), we will get:

$x=28,000-y$

Upon substituting this value in equation (2), we will get:

$0.07(28,000-y)+0.14y=3,430$

$1960-0.07y+0.14y=3,430$

$1960+0.07y=3,430$

$1960-1960+0.07y=3,430-1960$

$0.07y=1470$

$\frac{0.07y}{0.07}=\frac{1470}{0.07}$

$y=21,000$

Therefore, an amount of $21,000 was invested at a rate of 14%.

$x=28,000-y$

$x=28,000-21,000$

$x=7,000$

Therefore, an amount of $7,000 was invested at a rate of 14%.
