Answer:

The answer is 2 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you turn 3 3/4 into an improper fraction .To do that you multiply the denominator x the whole number + the numerator = 4x3=12 +3=15/4.

Then you turn 1 1/2 into an improper fraction .To do that you multiply the denominator x the whole number + the numerator =2x1+1=3/2

15/4 divided by 3/2 but get your answer you have to reverse 3/2 into 2/3 and you multiply instead of dividing .

15/4 x 2/3 =15 x2 = 30 , 4x3=12 so your answer will be 30/12 but it can be simplified because they are both multiple of 6 . So , 30 divided by 6 = 5 and 12 divided by 6 = 2 so then you answer is 5/2 but it is an improper fraction so you divide 5 by 2 and you get 2 and a remainder of 1/2=2 1/2

I believe there is a picture of the situation missing, but we still have all the info necessary to solve.
We take the height, 5, and divide by the slope, 1/12, getting 60. This is the length of the ramp.

Find the derivative of f(x) = negative 11 divided by x at x = 9.

zavuch27 [327]

Remember the power rule
$\frac{dy}{dx} x^m=mx^{m-1}$
and the constant multipule rule
$\frac{dy}{dx} cf(x)=c \frac{dy}{dx} f(x)$ wher c is a constant

so

$f(x)= \frac{-11}{x}$ can be rewritten as
$f(x)=-11x^{-1}$
take deritivitve ad apply constnat multipule and power rule
$f'(x)=-11(-1x^{-2})$
$f'(x)=11(x^{-2})$
$f'(x)= \frac{11}{x^2}$

at x=9

$f'(9)= \frac{11}{9^2}$
$f'(9)= \frac{11}{81}$
