Let f(x)=h(g(x))f^{}\(\left\)(x\(\right\))=h\(\left\)(g\(\left\)(x\(\right\))\(\right\))f(x)=h(g(x)). Calculate f′(0)f^{\(\prime\)}\(\left\)(0\(\right\)) using the following table:
Determine the derivative of the function f(x)=2x3f\(\left\)(x\(\right\))=2x^3 using the definition:
f′(x)=limh→0 f(x+h)−f(x)hf^{\(\prime\)}\(\left\)(x\(\right\))={\(\displaystyle\[\lim\)_{h\(\to\)0}}\(\text{ }\]\frac{f\left(x+h\right)-f\left(x\right)}{h}\)
Given the function g(x)=18x2g\(\left\)(x\(\right\))=\(\frac{18}{x^2}\), find g′(x)g^{\(\prime\)}\(\left\)(x\(\right\)) using the limit definition of the derivative. Then, calculate the value of g′(5)g^{\(\prime\)}\(\left\)(5\(\right\)).
The graph of the derivative of f(x)=∣2x∣f\(\left\)(x\(\right\))=\(\left\)|2x\(\right\)| is shown. Graph y=∣2x∣−0x−0=∣2x∣xy=\(\frac{\left|2x\right|-0}{x-0}\)=\(\frac{\left|2x\right|}{x}\). What can you conclude after graphing?
The population of rabbits in a fenced reserve from the year 20002000 to 20102010 is represented by the graph provided. Determine the year in which the population's growth rate was at its highest.
