A differentiable function f has the property that f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y) 1 − f(x)f(y) holds for all x, y in the domain of f. It
is known also that lim x→ 0 f(x) = 0, lim x →0 f(x) x = 5. (i) Use the definition of the derivative of f to determine f ′ (x) in terms of f(x).

Answer:
f'(x) = 5[1 + f²(x)]
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, f'(x) = lim h => 0 {[f(x + h) - f(x)]/h}
This was used, together with the given limits:
lim x => 0 f(x) = 0
lim x => 0 f(x)/x = 5,
to determine the derivative of the given function:
f(x + y) = [f(x) + f(y)]/[1 - f(x)f(y)].

Answer:
y= 8000x + 2000
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the formula we can use the points given in the question:
the slope:
to get the slope we can take the 2 points, (0,2000) and (2,18000) where x values are time and y values are bacteria
now using slope-intercept form we can get which gives a slope of 8000 meaning for each hour there are 8000 new bacteria
intercept:
since we start with 2000 bacteria we know this is the y intercept so when x is 0
formula:
y=8000x + 2000
