Answer:

g(x)=−4x^2 and m(x)=4x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A horizontal stretch or shrink happens when you multiply the parent function (in this case f(x) = x²) by a number. If this number is between 0 and 1, the graph will be stretched horizontally. If this number is greater than 1, the graph will be shrunk horizontally. If the number is between -1 and 0, the graph will be stretched horizontally and flipped; if the number is less than -1, the graph will be shrunk horizontally and flipped.

The graphs that are horizontally shrunk are steeper than the others. This is m(x)=4x^2 and g(x) = -4x^2.

Use the algebraic procedure explained in section 8.9 in your book to find the derivative of f(x)=1/x. Use h for the small number

Triss [41]

Answer:

By definition, the derivative of f(x) is

$lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}$

Let's use the definition for $f(x)=\frac{1}{x}$

$lim_{h\rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{1}{x+h}-\frac{1}{x}}{h}=\\lim_{h\rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{x-(x+h)}{x(x+h)}}{h}=\\lim_{h\rightarrow 0} \frac{\frac{(-1)h}{x^2+xh}}{h}=\\lim_{h\rightarrow 0} \frac{(-1)h}{h(x^2+xh)}=\\lim_{h\rightarrow 0} \frac{-1}{x^2+xh)}=\frac{-1}{x^2+x*0}=\frac{-1}{x^2}$
