Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are just looking for the derivative, then all you need to use the power rule for this. Technically the x in (x-9) has a power to the 1, so really x^1-9. To use power rule, you bring down the exponent, in this case, 1, and then minus 1 from what the exponent was.

1x^(1-1) = 1x^0. The derivative of any constant is 0, so don't even worry about the -9. We know that anything raised to the zero is just 1, so in this case your answer is 1.

Hope this helps :)

Which of the equations below shows the relationship in the table?

poizon [28]

Answer: y=15/x

For this problem you need to use trial and error.

For the first equation, 15-14 does equal 1, but 5-14 doesn’t equal 3. For the second equation, 15x15 doesn’t equal 1. For the third equation, 15+2 doesn’t equal 1. For the last equation, 15/15 is 1, 15/5 is 3, and so on. So, the last equation shows the relationship in the table.

The quotient of 24 and x equals 14 minus 2 times x (into an equation don’t solve)

Katen [24]

Answer:

24 / x = 14 - 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient means division (÷ or /)

Quotient of 24 and x = 24 ÷ x

24 ÷ x is equivalent to 24 / x

14 minus 2 times x = 14 - 2x

So, the equation is

24 / x = 14 - 2x
