What is the derivative of y with respect to x if y = 2/X4

zepelin [54]3 years ago

You're correct, the answer is C.

Given any function of the form y=x^n, then the derivative of y with respect to x (\frac{dy}{dx}) is written as:
\frac{dy}{dx}=nx^n^-^1

In which n is any constant, this is called the power rule for differentiation.

For this example we have y= \frac{2}{x^4}, first lets get rid of the quotient and write the expression in the form y=x^n:
y= \frac{2}{x^4} =2x^-^4

Now we can directly apply the rule stated at the beginning (in which n=-4):
\frac{dy}{dx}=(2)(-4)x^{-4-1}=-8 x^{-5}= -\frac{8}{x^5}

Note that whenever we differentiate a function, we simply "ignore" the constants (we take them out of the derivative).

Ivan
The answer is %225 <span>First, we must convert the given fraction into a decimal number. So use a calculator or long division to convert the given fraction to a decimal number. In this case, 


Now just multiply the equivalent decimal by 100 to convert it into a percent. So . Take note that we're simply moving the decimal point two spots to the right.


So the given fraction  is equivalent to 275%

find the probability of being delt 5 clubs and 3 cards with one of each remaining suit in 8 card poker
kumpel [21]

Answer: 0.003757(approx).

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of combinations of selecting r things out of n things is given by:-

^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Total cards in a deck = 52

Total number of ways of choosing 8 cards out of 52 = ^{52}C_8

Total number of ways to choose 5 clubs and 3 cards with one of each remaining suit = ^{13}C_5\times^{13}C_1\times^{13}C_1\times^{13}C_1  [since 1 suit has 13 cards]

The required probability = =\dfrac{^{13}C_5\times^{13}C_1\times^{13}C_1\times^{13}C_1}{^{52}C_8}

=\dfrac{\dfrac{13!}{5!8!}\times13\times13\times13}{\dfrac{52!}{8!44!}}\\\\=\dfrac{24167}{6431950}\\\\\approx0.003757

Hence, the required probability is 0.003757 (approx).

Determine how many solutions if correct bainliest​
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

No solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

6x+2y=20

-3x-y=-4 (by rewriting)

So

6/-3 = 2/-1≠20/-4

-2=-2≠-5

So it has no solutions
