Differentiating both sides of

with respect to <em>x</em> yields (using the chain rule)

Solve for d<em>y</em>/d<em>x</em> :

The answer is then D.
Answer:
B (second table in list)
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is a quadratic with vertex and y-intercept at (0,-2). The parabola opens up meaning only y - values above -2 are a part of the function. Since range is the set of all y values, then the range is
.
The domain is not restricted and it is all real numbers.
The inverse of the function is where x and y are switched. So the range becomes the domain and vice verse.
This means the domain of the inverse is
and the range of the inverse is all real numbers.
Answer: The required fourth term of the geometric sequence is 
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of the fourth term in a geometric sequence with first term and common ratio as follows :

We know that
the n-th term of a geometric sequence with first term a1 and common ratio r given by

Therefore, the fourth term of the given geometric sequence will be
Thus, the required fourth term of the geometric sequence is 
X/y = 2 so x = 2y
z/x = 4 so z = 4x but x = 2y so z = 4(2y) = 8y
now you have
x = 2y, z = 8y
x + y + z 2y + y + 8y 11y 11
------------ = -----------------------= ------------- = ----------- = 5 1/2
x 2y 2y 2
answer
C. 5 1/2
