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

Mathematics

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

RSB [31]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

the end of interval is t=2

v=s'= -3t^2+4t-2

v(2)= -3(2^2)+4(2) -2

v(2)=-12+8-2

v(2)= -6m/s

so tje ans is A

Each side of a fair, six-sided die has a certain number of dots on it, 1,2,3,4,5, or 6. The die is rolled by a board game player
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

B. The experiment is rolling the die.

C. A trial is one rolling of the die.

F. The outcome is the number that is rolled on the die.

Step-by-step explanation:

An experiment is defined as an act or operation for the purpose of discovering something unknown. In this case the player is rolling the die to discover a number, thus the experiment is rolling the die.

A trial is a single performance of a defined experiment, since we already know what the experiment is, a trial is one rolling of the die.

The outcome is the observed result from a trial or experiment, in this case, the outcome is the number that is rolled on the die.
