Answer:

8.06 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Ounces of wool of the sweater = percent of wool in the sweater x weight of the sweater

65% x 12.4 ounces

0.65 x 12.4 = 8.06 ounces

Is this sequence arithmetic, geometric or neither? 3.5. -4, -7.5...

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Neither

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sequence was geometric, each term would be multiplied by the same multiplier to get to the next one. We can check if the multiplier is the same by taking a term and dividing it by the term before it. For example,

-4/3.5=-1.14285714

-7.5/-4=1.87500

The multiplier between the terms aren't the same so it's not geometric.

For arithmetic, the distances between each term would be the same, and we can take the same idea from the geometric sequence, but use subtraction instead of division

-4-3,5=-7.5

-7.5-(-4)=-3.5

Again, the distances aren't the same, so it's not arithmetic.

Answer:

$f'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^\frac{3}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the function:

$f(x)=\frac{4}{\sqrt x}$

And we want to find the derivative using the limit process.

The definition of a derivative as a limit is:

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

Therefore, our derivative would be:

$\lim_{h \to 0}\frac{\frac{4}{\sqrt{x+h}}-\frac{4}{\sqrt x}}{h}$

First of all, let's factor out a 4 from the numerator and place it in front of our limit:

$=\lim_{h \to 0}\frac{4(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+h}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt x})}{h}$

Place the 4 in front:

$=4\lim_{h \to 0}\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+h}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt x}}{h}$

Now, let's multiply everything by (√(x+h)(√(x))) to get rid of the fractions in the denominator. Therefore:

$=4\lim_{h \to 0}\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+h}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt x}}{h}(\frac{\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x}{\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x})$

Distribute:

$=4\lim_{h \to 0}\frac{({\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x})\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+h}}-(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x)\frac{1}{\sqrt x}}{h({\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x})}$

Simplify: For the first term on the left, the √(x+h) cancels. For the term on the right, the (√(x)) cancel. Thus:

$=4 \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sqrt x-(\sqrt{x+h})}{h(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt{x}) }$

Now, multiply both sides by the conjugate of the numerator. In other words, multiply by (√x + √(x+h)). Thus:

$= 4\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{\sqrt x-(\sqrt{x+h})}{h(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt{x}) }(\frac{\sqrt x +\sqrt{x+h})}{\sqrt x +\sqrt{x+h})}$

The numerator will use the difference of two squares. Thus:

$=4 \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{x-(x+h)}{h(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x+h})}$

Simplify the numerator:

$=4 \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{x-x-h}{h(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x+h})}\\=4 \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-h}{h(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x+h})}$

Both the numerator and denominator have a h. Cancel them:

$=4 \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{-1}{(\sqrt{x+h}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x+h})}$

Now, substitute 0 for h. So:

$=4 ( \frac{-1}{(\sqrt{x+0}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x+0})})$

Simplify:

$=4( \frac{-1}{(\sqrt{x}\sqrt x)(\sqrt x+\sqrt{x})})$

(√x)(√x) is just x. (√x)+(√x) is just 2(√x). Therefore:

$=4( \frac{-1}{(x)(2\sqrt{x})})$

Multiply across:

$= \frac{-4}{(2x\sqrt{x})}$

Reduce. Change √x to x^(1/2). So:

$=-\frac{2}{x(x^{\frac{1}{2}})}$

Add the exponents:

$=-\frac{2}{x^\frac{3}{2}}$

And we're done!

$f(x)=\frac{4}{\sqrt x}\\f'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^\frac{3}{2}}$
