Answer:

Rate = 6.7726

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x^x at x =2

Required

The instantaneous rate of change

We have:

f(x) = x^x

The instantaneous rate of change is:

\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h}

x =2 implies that: a = 2

So, we have:

a = 2      h = 0.01

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.01) -f(2)}{0.01} = \frac{f(2.01) -f(2)}{0.01} = \frac{2.01^{2.01} - 2^2}{0.01} = 6.840403

Keep reducing h but set a constant at 2

h = 0.001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.001) -f(2)}{0.001} = \frac{f(2.001) -f(2)}{0.001} = \frac{2.001^{2.001} - 2^2}{0.001} = 6.779327

h = 0.0001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.0001) -f(2)}{0.0001} = \frac{f(2.0001) -f(2)}{0.0001} = \frac{2.0001^{2.0001} - 2^2}{0.0001} = 6.773262

h = 0.00001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.00001) -f(2)}{0.00001} = \frac{f(2.00001) -f(2)}{0.00001} = \frac{2.00001^{2.00001} - 2^2}{0.00001} = 6.772656

h = 0.000001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.000001) -f(2)}{0.000001} = \frac{f(2.000001) -f(2)}{0.000001} = \frac{2.000001^{2.000001} - 2^2}{0.000001} = 6.772595

h = 0.0000001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.0000001) -f(2)}{0.0000001} = \frac{f(2.0000001) -f(2)}{0.0000001} = \frac{2.0000001^{2.0000001} - 2^2}{0.0000001} = 6.772589

h = 0.00000001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.00000001) -f(2)}{0.00000001} = \frac{f(2.00000001) -f(2)}{0.00000001} = \frac{2.00000001^{2.00000001} - 2^2}{0.00000001} = 6.772589

Notice that:

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = 6.772589 for h = 0.00000001 and h = 0.0000001

Hence, the instantaneous rate of change is:

Rate = 6.772589

Rate = 6.7726 ---- approximated

A.5x=3x <br><br> B.5=3<br><br> how can we get equation B from equation A?
Hitman42 [59]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  divide by x

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer your question, you can get from A to B by dividing by x:

  5x=3x\\\\\dfrac{5x}{x}=\dfrac{3x}{x}\qquad\text{only if $x\ne0$}\\\\5=3

However, this is only a valid operation if x ≠ 0. In this equation, x = 0, so that division is not valid.

__

A better approach to the solution is to put the equation in standard form:

  f(x) = 0

You can get there by subtracting 3x from both sides.

  5x -3x = 3x -3x

  2x = 0

Now, you can legitimately divide by 2 to find ...

  x = 0 . . . . . . . . the reason why dividing by x is not allowed

What is the image of (9,-2)after a reflection over the line y=x?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

(- 2, 9 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Under a reflection in the line y = x

a point (x, y ) → (y, x ), thus

(9, - 2 ) → (- 2. 9 )

- 7th Grade Work - <br><br> Please help ; - ;
lawyer [7]

Answer:

$12x + $33.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay so if you have (16x + 58.75) - (4x + 25)

first you add the common variables so... 16x - 4x = 12x

and 58.75 - 25 = 33.75

And 1 the most common mistake is that people add 25 and 58.75. The reason you don't do this is because the two equations are subtracting or trying to find the difference regardless of whether the numbers are positive or not. Although if they were negative numbers you would be adding.

I hope this helps :)
