Find the derivative of f(x) = 5/x at x = -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe differentiate 5/x first? ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be -5? @PeterPan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That your final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, tis right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would i do f(x) = -7/x at x = -3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Differentiate -7/x first. Whatever you did with 5/x, do something similar to that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 3/7 can you check this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gladly. first, how did you get 3/7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i mistyped it. I got 7/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. so how did you get 7/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I see where I messed up. I got 7/9 for the answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mhmm so how did you get 7/9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my typing today is off. I meant to type 9/7.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whatever your answer is, could you please tell me how you got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used the slop formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please demonstrate :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can't find where you get it wrong if you don't, see...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you apparently made three typos in a row, highly unusual, wouldn't you say? ;)
