I believe the answer is A.Quickly moving neutrons coming out of the reaction are slowed down by water. The water heats up and turns into steam. The steam turns the turbine and produces electricity.

What’s the derivative of the function: A) f(x)= 1/x , in point 2. B) f(x)= 5x^2 , in point 3

bija089 [108]

Using the power rule, the derivatives are given as follows:

a) $f^{\prime}(2) = -\frac{1}{4}$ .

b) $f^{\prime}(3) = 30$ .

<h3>What is the power rule for a derivative?</h3>

Suppose we have a power function given by:

$f(x) = x^n$

The derivative of the function is given by:

$f^{\prime}(x) = n \times x^{n-1}$

Item a:

The function is:

$f(x) = \frac{1}{x} = x^{-1}$

Then the derivative is:

$f^{\prime}(x) = -x^{-2} = -\frac{1}{x^2}$

When x = 2, the derivative is:

$f^{\prime}(2) = -\frac{1}{4}$

Item b:

The function is:

$f(x) = 5x^2$

Then the derivative is:

$f^{\prime}(x) = 10x$

When x = 3, the derivative is:

$f^{\prime}(3) = 30$
