OpenStudy (diamondanon2):

Answer choices -25/2 1/2 sqrt5/2

OpenStudy (evoker):

is that \[f(x)=\sqrt{5x}\]

OpenStudy (diamondanon2):

yes

OpenStudy (evoker):

ok that is (5x)^(.5) take the derivative and then plug in 5.

OpenStudy (diamondanon2):

derivative is 2.5/x^0.5 now plugging it in I get 1.118 :/

OpenStudy (evoker):

That is square root of 5 over 2.

OpenStudy (diamondanon2):

oh I see
