Let x = state b , then x + 2 = state a
now: x + (x +2) = 9090 or 2x + 2 = 9090 Solving this equation:
2x + 2 = 9090 subtract 2 from both sides
2x = 9088 divide both sides by 2
x = 4544
that means x + 2 = 4546
so state a = 4546 and state b = 4544
Use the power, product, and chain rules:

• product rule

• power rule for the first term, and power/chain rules for the second term:

• power rule

Now simplify.

You could also use logarithmic differentiation, which involves taking logarithms of both sides and differentiating with the chain rule.
On the right side, the logarithm of a product can be expanded as a sum of logarithms. Then use other properties of logarithms to simplify

Differentiate both sides and you end up with the same derivative:

Answer:
Part 1) The algebraic expression is equal to
or 
Part 2) The algebraic expression is equal to 
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) we have (n-1) increased by 110%
110%=110/100=1.10
so
The algebraic expression of (n-1) increased by 110% is equal to multiply 1.10 by (n-1)

Distributed

Part 2) we have n^(-1) increased by 110%
110%=110/100=1.10
so
The algebraic expression of n^(-1) increased by 110% is equal to multiply 1.10 by n^(-1)
Remember that

so

Answer:
