The derivative is the rate of change of a function, basically represents the slope at different points. To find the derivative of the given function you can use the power rule, which means, if n is a real number, d/dx(x^n)= nx^(n-1). This is a simplification of the chain rule based on the fact that d/dx(x)=1. Anyway, this means that d/dx(x^3 + 1)= 3x^2. Here n is 3 and so it is 3*x^(3-1)= 3x^2. The derivative of x^3+1 is 3x^2.
If you are wondering what happened to the 1, for any constant C, d/dx(C)=0.

Answer:
4. A
5. B
Step-by-step explanation:
4. I'll solve question four first:
The two marked points on the line are (-2, -3)&(2, 5). Using the formula to find slope(y2-y1/x2-x1), substitute in the points.
5--3/2--2 or 8/4;simplified to 2/1 or 2.
Now use point-slope form: y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y--3 = 2(x--2): Substitute in the values of y1, m, and x1.
y+3 = 2x + 4: Distribute.
y = 2x + 1: Subtract three from both sides.
5. Do the same for question 5.
The first point is (-4, 2), the second point is (4, -1).
-1-2/4--4; -3/8.
Now use point-slope form:
y-2 = -3/8x -12/8: Substitute in the values of x1, y1, m, and distribute the slope to the parentheses.
y = -3/8x + 1/2
D1 = 60 for a price of $80. Charging $80 will ensure supply exceeds demand.
___
The store apparently could charge a price slightly lower than $80, but we cannot tell from the chart how much lower.
