Sorry, I'm no help because I have no idea how to do those!
Answer:
4. dy/dx = -2
8. dy/dx = 1/2 x^(-3/2)
10/ dy/dr = 4 pi r^2
Step-by-step explanation:
4. y = -2x+7
dy/dx = -2(1)
dy/dx = -2
8. y = 4 - x^-1/2
dy/dx = - (-1/2x^ (-1/2-1)
dy/dx = 1/2 x^(-3/2)
10. y = 4/3 pi r^3
dy/dr = 4/3 pi (3r^2)
dy/dr = 4 pi r^2
The result is
9
a
2
−
16
The reason is the following:
The problem is an example of a notable product: "the sum multiplied by the diference is equal to the difference of squares", that is to say:
(
a
+
b
)
⋅
(
a
−
b
)
=
a
2
−
b
2
.
By applying this to our question, we obtain that:
(
3
a
−
4
)
⋅
(
3
a
+
4
)
=
(
3

)
