Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the function:

And we want to find the derivative using the limit process.
The definition of a derivative as a limit is:

Therefore, our derivative would be:

First of all, let's factor out a 4 from the numerator and place it in front of our limit:

Place the 4 in front:

Now, let's multiply everything by (√(x+h)(√(x))) to get rid of the fractions in the denominator. Therefore:

Distribute:

Simplify: For the first term on the left, the √(x+h) cancels. For the term on the right, the (√(x)) cancel. Thus:

Now, multiply both sides by the conjugate of the numerator. In other words, multiply by (√x + √(x+h)). Thus:

The numerator will use the difference of two squares. Thus:

Simplify the numerator:

Both the numerator and denominator have a h. Cancel them:

Now, substitute 0 for h. So:

Simplify:

(√x)(√x) is just x. (√x)+(√x) is just 2(√x). Therefore:

Multiply across:

Reduce. Change √x to x^(1/2). So:

Add the exponents:

And we're done!

If p(x) is a function, then a real-world example might be
The amount of fish food, in grams required for the giant koi fish in the pond can be represented by the function

. If there are 50 fish, how many grams of fish food will you need?


Answer: D
Step-by-step explanation: slope = "rise over run" = 1.5/18 = 3/36 = 1/12 for the 1st section to the landing
slope is the change in height, the vertical change, divided by the change in horizontal distance
2nd section has slope 1/18 and covers 9 feet. That means it rises 1/2 foot
slope = 1/18 = (1/2)/9
the door is 2 feet higher than the ground level, 1.5 + .5 = 2 feet change vertically

Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let x represent the amount of rides she takes, the 6 and 2.5 represent the amount of money required to enter
A(x) = 1.5x + 6
B(x) = 2x + 2.5
b) You can find this by making the 2 equations equal to each other and solving for x
1.5x + 6 = 2x + 2.5
3.5 = .5x
7 = x
7 rides make them equal cost
c) Plug in 5 for each of the equations and find out which one is cheaper
A(5) = 1.5 * 5 + 6
A(5) = $13.50
B(5) = 2 * 5 + 2.5
B(5) = $12.50
Carnival B is cheaper
42.50$ ? 21 times 1.25 plus 13 times 1.25 = 42.50?
