Find the difference quotient for f(x) = x2 + 4.

Mathematics
1 answer:
natita [175]3 years ago

I am trying to simplify a difference quotient with the form

f(x+h)−f(h)/h

if f(x)=2/x2 I have attempted to cancel out the denominator of the numerator by the least common denominator method. I know that I can solve this using implicit differentiation, but am trying to use the difference quotient to get the partial derivative

Here is my work so far:

f(x+h)−f(x)(h)

=f(2/(x+h)2)−f(2/x2)h

=(2/(x+h)2)−(2/x2)h

here I multiply by the LCD

=(2(x2)−2(x+h)2)/(x2(x+h)2)h

Here I expand out the top and cancel out 2x2

=(2x2−(2x2+4xh+2h2))/(x2(x+h)2)h

=−(4xh+2h2)/(x2(x+h)2))h

Here I think I should multiply by 1/h to get rid of the h on the bottom

I end up with:

=4xh+2h2hx2(x+h)2

factor out an h

=−4x+2hx2(x+h)2

(d) A car travels at an average speed of 80 km/h. How far does it travel in: (1) 2 hours? (11) 12 minutes?​
zepelin [54]
Answer is (1) 160 km in 2 hours and
(2) 16 miles in 12 minutes.

Step by step.
80 km / 1 hour = x km /2 hours
Cross multiply =
x = 160

The second one requires a little more math. Because we are looking at how far in minutes, we change the rate of 80km in 1 hour to 80 km in 60 minutes.
80 km / 60 = x / 12
Cross multiply
12x = 960
Solve for x by dividing both sides by 12
X = 16

I did the math on a print screen to explain the cross multiply.

In abc above,what is the length of ad​
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate BD using sine ratio in Δ BCD and the exact value

sin60° = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}, thus

sin60° = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{BD}{BC} = \frac{BD}{12} = \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} ( cross- multiply )

2BD = 12\sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by 2 )

BD = 6\sqrt{3}

-----------------------------------------------------------

Calculate AD using the tangent ratio in Δ ABD and the exact value

tan30° = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } , thus

tan30° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{AD}{BD} = \frac{AD}{6\sqrt{3} } = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } ( cross- multiply )

\sqrt{3} AD = 6\sqrt{3} ( divide both sides by \sqrt{3} )

AD = 6 → B
