7) 2-9= -7 because, if you have two cookies and promised nine friends cookies, you would still owe 7 friends cookies or -7
8) -3 - (-4)= 1 because you owe 3 friends cookies, then you get 4 cookies and have one left over
9) 11 - (-12)= 23 because a negative plus a negative is a positive
U estimate 46.78 to 47 and 18.55 to 19, so 47-19 is 28.
That's again the derivative at 2, so the answer is A. 4. Hard way:
f(x)=x²
f(2)=4
f(2+h) = (2+h)² = 4 + 4h + h²
f(2+h) - f(2) = 4h + h²
(f(2+h)-f(2))/h = 4 + h
Limit is 4.
Answer: A. 4
