anotehr question please help with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help with both

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@myininay which one are you doing?

myininaya (myininaya):

\[f(x)=6x^2-2x\] \[f(c)=6c^2-2c \] \[f(c+h)=6(c+h)^2-2(c+h)=6(c^2+2ch+h^2)-2c-2h \] \[f(c+h)=6c^2+12ch+6h^2-2c-2h \] \[f'(c)=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}\frac{f(c+h)-f(c)}{h}=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{(6c^2+12ch+6h^2-2c-2h)-(6c^2-2c)}{h}\] \[f'(c)=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{12ch+6h^2-2h}{h}\] \[f'(c)=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}(12c+6h-2)=12c+6(0)-2=12c-2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow!

myininaya (myininaya):

now if you want f'(3) replace c with 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it 48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sabrina, impressive huh? what is more impressive is that in a week you will be able to do this problem in your head using a quick and easy shortcut

myininaya (myininaya):

but definitions are awesome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool wat is teh shortcut

myininaya (myininaya):

what is the slope of y=constant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is 34.

myininaya (myininaya):

0 we say y'=0 if y=constant if \[y=6x^2 \text{ we say} y'=6(2)x^{2-1}=12x^{1}=12x\] we can use the definition to prove the general case \[y=x^n => y'=nx^{n-1}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

we can this the power rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for second one you will find that the slope of the tangent line is -27, which means the slope of the "normal" line (perpendicular line) will be \[\frac{1}{27}\] since there is only one choice of lines with that slope, that is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*call?

myininaya (myininaya):

yep 36-2=34 not 48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry... and @ satelite that is answer chice 3 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i guess. i didn't actually finish the problem. i just saw that there was only one line with slope \[\frac{1}{27}\] and chose that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow that took no computation at all!! i wish i cud think that fast to save me time in tests
