The answer is -2, but that's not an answer choice. Make sure you wrote all of the answer choices and problem correctly.

Answer:

Step 1 : First, solve one linear equation for y in terms of x .

Step 2 : Then substitute that expression for y in the other linear equation.

Step 3 : Solve this, and you have the x -coordinate of the intersection.

Step 4 : Then plug in x to either equation to find the corresponding y -coordinate.

Use f’( x ) = lim With h ---> 0 [f( x + h ) - f ( x )]/h to find the derivative at x for the given function. 5-x²

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The derivative of the function f(x) is:

$f'(x)=-2x$

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

We are given a function f(x) as:

$f(x)=5-x^2$

We have:

$f(x+h)=5-(x+h)^2\\\\i.e.\\\\f(x+h)=5-(x^2+h^2+2xh)$

( Since,

$(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab$ )

Hence, we get:

$f(x+h)=5-x^2-h^2-2xh$

Also, by using the definition of f'(x) i.e.

$f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

Hence, on putting the value in the formula:

$f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{5-x^2-h^2-2xh-(5-x^2)}{h}\\\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{5-x^2-h^2-2xh-5+x^2}{h}\\\\i.e.\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{-h^2-2xh}{h}\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} \dfrac{-h^2}{h}+\dfrac{-2xh}{h}\\\\f'(x)=\lim_{h \to 0} -h-2x\\\\i.e.\ on\ putting\ the\ limit\ we\ obtain:\\\\f'(x)=-2x$
