Answer» Answer: (a) P’(2) will be the derivative of P(x) evaluated at x=2. So first, we take a derivative. Now we let x=2. Read these values off the graph. Now we substitute these values into P’(2) to solve: P’(2)=(3)(1/2)+(0)(2)=(3/2)+(0)=3/2 (b) We’re playing by the same rules as above–differentiate the equation, read the values off the graph, substitute the values into the function, and solve. Differentiate (Quotient Rule): |
