Find the derivative of f at x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) = 7x + 8; x = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 35? I feel like this is to easy & I'm just not seeing it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7(5)+8 =43

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simple subt.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@darth take "derivative"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you asked to take a limit? if f(x)=7x+8 then f(x)'=7 If you plug in your value of "5" and take the derivative you get 0. I don't fully understand your question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

43 isnt one of the answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are your choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did the same thing first, I plugged then 5 in then solved it & got 43 but then it wasnt one of my choices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. 40 B. 8 C. 35 D. 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i's 7.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@darth better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then asked for the derivative of f(x), I belvie the question is worded wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what does the x=5 has to do with it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don;t know, I didnt type the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nothing! the derivative of f doesn't depend on x. that what it means
