Using the alternate form of the definition of the derivative, Compute f'(c) for f(x) = x+4/x, c=4

Answers

Answer 1

The value of the f(x) = (x + 4) / x at x = 4 is equal to - 1 / 4.

What is the value of the derivative of a function?

In this problem we have the following rational equation, which is equivalent to the following sum of functions:

f(x) = (x + 4) / x = 1 + 4 / x = g(x) + h(x)

Then, we must find both the derivatives of the functions g(x) and h(x) by using the definition of derivative:

g(x):

g'(x) = [1 - 1] / h

g'(x) = 0 / h

g'(x) = 0

h(x):

h'(x) = [4 / (x + h) - 4 / x] / h

h'(x) = [4 · x - 4 · (x + h)] / [h · (x + h) · x]

h'(x) = - 4 · h / [h · (x + h) · x]

h'(x) = - 4 /[(x + h) · x]

If h = 0, then:

h'(x) = - 4 / x²

Then, the first derivative of the function is f(x) = - 4 / x². Now we evaluate the function at x = 4:

f(4) = - 4 / 4²

f(4) = - 1 / 4

The value of the f(x) = (x + 4) / x at x = 4 is equal to - 1 / 4.

Answers

The fraction that represents the part of a whole, which is shaded gold is 3/7.

What is fraction?

In Mathematics, fractions are represented as a numerical value, which defines a part of a whole.

Given is a big green rectangle divided into seven equal segments. From the image, it can be seen that 3 segments out of the seven are colored with gold. Therefore, we can write that -

Number of segments colored = n[c] = 3

Total segments = n[T] = 7

We know that a fraction defines a part of a whole. The green Rectangle is one whole, therefore it can be concluded that -

1 whole = 7 segments = n[T].

Number of segments colored = n[c] = 3.

Therefore, we can say that the fraction that represents the part of a whole, which is shaded gold is given by -

n[c] / n[T] = 3 / 7

Therefore, the fraction that represents the part of a whole, which is shaded gold is 3/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

FP = FN

makes the triangle FNP an isoceles triangle (both legs have the same length). and that means both angles of these equal legs with the third side (PN) must be equal.

therefore, the angle N = P2 = 56°.

and we know that the angle P = P1 + P2 = 68 + 56 = 124°.

LE = LM

makes the triangle ELM an isoceles triangle. because of that, both angles of these 2 legs with the third side (ME) are equal.

therefore, M1 = E1 = 62°.

the fact that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180° gives us the angle L

180 = 62 + 62 + angle L = 124 + angle L

56° = angle L

because angles L and P are supplementary (that means together they have 180°, which is true as 124 + 56 = 180), it means that LM || PN. as this pair of supplementary angles means that their connecting line LP is intersecting the lines LM and PN at the same angles, which makes LM parallel to PN.

and as angle N = angle L (56°), this also proves that MN is parallel to LP (as now the line PN intersects LP and MN at the same angles and N and P are supplementary angles).

(2)

with the proof in (1) that we have 2 sets of parallel sidelines (LP || MN, LM || PN), this makes LMNP per basic definition a parallelogram.

Purchases of both small and large boxes total:

two little boxes.

six huge boxes

Two equations must be created with the given data in order to answer the unknowns:

150X + 400Y = 2700 (the price of the boxes and the total number of nails, where X is the small boxes and Y the large boxes)

Y = 3X

Equation one is then changed to equation 2, and variable X is eliminated:

150X + 400 (3X) = 2700

150X + 1200X = 2700 1350X = 2700 X = 2700/1350 X = 2

In order to determine the number of big boxes, equation 2's value of X is finally changed:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is one possible mistake:

Let y= u = ( 2ax^2 +c)^2          expand

        4 a^2 x^4  + 4 a x^2 c   + c^2

  dy/ dx   then becomes  

16 a^2 x^3 + 8 a x c  <====== you have  8 a^2x^3 + 8axc  

   MAYBE ??

[tex]y = (2ax^2 + c)^2 (bx^2 - cx)^{-1}[/tex]

By the product rule,

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{d(2ax^2+c)^2}{dx} (bx^2-cx)^{-1} + (2ax^2+c)^2 \dfrac{d(bx^2-cx)^{-1}}{dx}[/tex]

For the first derivative on the right side, let [tex]u=2ax^2+c[/tex]. Then by the chain rule,

[tex]\dfrac{d(2ax^2+c)^2}{dx} = \dfrac{du^2}{dx} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ = \dfrac{du^2}{du}\dfrac{du}{dx} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ = 2u \dfrac{du}{dx} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ = 2(2ax^2+c) \dfrac{d(2ax^2+c)}{dx}[/tex]

and by the power rule, this reduces to

[tex]\dfrac{d(2ax^2+c)^2}{dx} = 2 (2ax^2+c) (4ax) \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ = 8ax (2ax^2 + c)[/tex]

For the other derivative, let [tex]v = bx^2-cx[/tex]. Then

[tex]\dfrac{d(bx^2-cx)^{-1}}{dx} = \dfrac{dv^{-1}}{dx} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ = \dfrac{dv^{-1}}{dv}\dfrac{dv}{dx} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ = -v^{-2} \dfrac{dv}{dx} \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ = -(bx^2-cx)^{-2}\dfrac{d(bx^2-cx)}{dx}[/tex]

which reduces to

[tex]\dfrac{d(bx^2-cx)^{-1}}{dx} = -(bx^2 - cx)^{-2} (2bx - c)[/tex]

So one expression for the derivative we want is

[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dx} = 8ax (2ax^2 + c) (bx^2-cx)^{-1} - (2ax^2+c)^2 (bx^2 - cx)^{-2} (2bx - c)[/tex]
