The derivative of a function, such as the one given above, represents the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the given point.

In this case, y = x − x^3, and dy/dx = 1 - 3x^2.  Letting x = 1, we get the slope of the tangent line at the point (1,0):  1 - 3(1^2) = -2 (answer)

Nathalie has one large bowl of popcorn. She invite 3 friends over to watch a movie. Her brother takes 1/5 of the popcorn for him
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Each friend gets  \frac{1}{5}  of the popcorns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nathalie's brother takes 1/5 of the popcorn for himself.

so there is ( 1 - 1/5)

                 = 4/5 of the popcorns  left in the bowl

including Nathalie and her 3 friends, there are (3 + 1) = 4 persons.

So, each friend gets

\frac(4}{4 \times 5}

=\frac{1}{5}

of the popcorns

The number of liver transplants performed in a particular country in year x is approximated by f left parenthesis x right parent
Elena L [17]
(a). The function is written as: f(x) = -245.4 + 2327lnx

First, let's find the number of years between 1995 and 2025.
Number of years = 2025 - 1995 = 30
Since x = 5 represents the base year 1995, that mean we have to take x = 35.

f(35) = -245.4 + 2327ln(35) = <em>3,500 transplants by 2025</em>

(b). The rate of change is determined through differential calculus.

f'(x) = 2327(1/x) = 2327/x
f'(35) = 2327/35 = 66.5

<em>Thus, the rate of change of transplants is 66.5 per year.</em>
