Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the question we refresh our knowledge of the quotient rule.
For a function f(x) express as a ratio of another functions u(x) and v(x) i.e
, the derivative is express as

from 
we assign u(x)=lnx and v(x)=x^2
and the derivatives
.
Note the expression used in determining the derivative of the logarithm function.it was obtain from the general expression of logarithm derivative i.e 
If we substitute values into the quotient expression we arrive at

A:
An independent variable could be how long she works. (Well it's not really independent I guess... Sorta depends.)
A dependent variable could be how much money she makes, depending on how long she works.
B:
Umm, like:
(1, 7)
If 1 was how many hours she worked and $7 is how much money she made, and therefore x would be how many hours she worked and y would be how much total money she made.
(2, 14)
(3, 21)
C: An equation would be 7x = y.
Answer: Positive
Step-by-step explanation: It would be positive because the question is asking how much money they lost. The lost a positive amount of money.
I got 6 if that helps i dont know if thats right or not
