Question 1:

For this case we must find the derivative of the following function:

f (x) = \frac {7} {x} evaluated at x = 1

We have by definition:

\frac {d} {dx} [x ^ n] = nx ^ {n-1}

So:

\frac {df (x)} {dx} = - 1 * 7 * x ^ {- 1-1} = - 7x ^ {- 2} = - \frac {7} {x ^ 2}

We evaluate in x = 1

- \frac {7} {x ^ 2} = - \frac {7} {1 ^ 2} = - 7

ANswer:

Option A

Question 2:

For this we must find the derivative of the following function:

f (x) = 4x + 7\ evaluated\ at\ x = 5

We have by definition:

\frac {d} {dx} [x ^ n] = nx ^ {n-1}

The derivative of a constant is 0

So:

\frac {df (x)} {dx} = 1 * 4 * x ^ {1-1} + 0 = 4 * x ^ 0 = 4

Thus, the value of the derivative is 4.

Answer:

Option A

Question 3:

For this we must find the derivative of the following function:

f (x) = 12x ^ 2 + 8x\ evaluated\ at\ x = 9

We have by definition:

\frac {d} {dx} [x ^ n] = nx ^ {n-1}

So:

\frac {df (x)} {dx} = 2 * 12 * x ^ {2-1} + 1 * 8 * x ^ {1-1} = 24x + 8 * x ^ 0 = 24x + 8

We evaluate for x = 9we have:

24 (9) + 8 = 224

Answer:

Option D

Question 4:

For this we must find the derivative of the following function:

f (x) = - \frac {11} {x}\ evaluated\ at\ x = 9

We have by definition:

\frac {d} {dx} [x ^ n] = nx ^ {n-1}

So:

\frac {df (x)} {dx} = - (- 1 * 11 * x ^ {- 1-1}) = 11x ^ {- 2} = \frac {11} {x ^ 2}

We evaluate for x = 9 and we have:

\frac {11} {9 ^ 2} = \frac {11} {81}

ANswer:

Option D

Question 5:

For this case we have by definition, that the derivative of the position is the velocity. That is to say:

\frac {d (s (t))} {dt} = v (t)

Where:

s: It's the position

v: It's the velocity

t: It's time

We have the position is:

s (t) = 1-10t

We derive:

\frac {d (s (t))} {dt} = 0- (1 * 10 * t ^ {1-1}) = - 10 * t ^ 0 = -10

So, the instantaneous velocity is -10

Answer:

-10

Answer:

  • 40 ft
  • t = 1 second

Step-by-step explanation:

A graphing calculator answers these questions easily.

The ball achieves a maximum height of 40 ft, 1 second after it is thrown.

__

The equation is usefully put into vertex form, as the vertex is the answer to the questions asked.

  h(t) = -16(t^2 -2t) +24

  h(t) = -16(t^2 -2t +1) +24 +16 . . . . . . complete the square

  h(t) = -16(t -1)^2 +40 . . . . . . . . . vertex form

Compare this to the vertex form:

  f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . vertex (h, k); vertical stretch factor 'a'

We see the vertex of our height equation is ...

  (h, k) = (1, 40)

The ball reaches a maximum height of 40 feet at t = 1 second after it is thrown.

Solve for a in terms of F and m: F=ma
Elena-2011 [213]
To solve for a, you must get a by itself on one side of the equation.  Now, a is "joined" to m by multiplication.  To "separate" them, use the inverse operation, division.

Divide both sides of the equation by m.

F=ma \\ \frac{F}{m}=\frac{ma}{m} \\ \frac{F}{m}=a \\ a=\frac{F}{m}
