5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(n) = 8 + 3(n) - 3

f(n) = 5 + 3n

f(1) = 5 + 3(1)

f(1) = 8

f(2) = 5 + 3(2)

f(2) = 5 + 6

f(2) = 11

f(3) = 5 + 3*3

f(3) = 14

f(4) = 5 + 3*4

f(4) = 17

Can anybody explain the laws of exponents to me? I have a test on Monday, so it's important!

Darya [45]

Hi there!

With exponents, there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Do not multiply the base by the exponent (the base is the number that has an exponent; for example, 3 is the base of 3^2)

2. On the computer, exponents are signaled by this sign ^.

3. The exponent is the number of times you multiply the base by itself

Let's say you're given this exponent : 6^3

Because the exponent is 3, we need to multiply 6 by 6 a total of 3 times. It's tricky, but here's how you do it:

(6 * 6) * 6

36 * 6 = 216

So, 6^3 is 216

Here's another example:

9^5

(9*9) * 9* 9* 9

[81 * 9]*9 *9

[729 * 9] * 9

6561 * 9

Derivative using direct definition of derivative 2-x/2+x

Daniel [21]

Let f(x) = (2 - x)/(2 + x). By definition of the derivative,

$\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}h$

$\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\frac{2-(x+h)}{2+(x+h)}-\frac{2-x}{2+x}}h$

$\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{\frac{(2-x-h)(2+x)-(2-x)(2+x+h)}{(2+x+h)(2+x)}}h$

$\displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{-4h}{h(2+x+h)(2+x)}$

$\displaystyle f'(x)=-4\lim_{h\to0}\frac1{(2+x+h)(2+x)}=\boxed{-\frac4{(2+x)^2}}$
