I just need my answers checked.

1) Find the derivative.

f(x)=3x^5/4 - 8/9x^9/8 + x^2 - 9x + 1

Answer: f’(x)= 15/4x^1/4 - x ^1/8 + 2x -9

2) Let f(x)= 7x^3 - 9x. Find f’(5)

Answer: f’(x)=21x^2-9
f’(5)=516

3) Find the given limit by evaluating the derivative.

lim h⇒0 5(7+h)^2 - (7+h)-238

Answer: 69

4) Find the slope and an equation of the tangent line to the graph of the function f at the specified point.

f(x)=-1/3x^2+5x+5: (-1, -1/3)

Answer: f’(x)=-2/3x + 5

y=-2/3x -1

correct.

for #4 I get a slope of 17/3 not -2/3

(-2/3)(-1) + 5 = 17/3

Thanks. I will check my answer.

coreectttttttttttttttt dear

To check the answers provided, we can follow the steps for each question and verify the results.

1) Find the derivative of f(x) = 3x^(5/4) - (8/9)x^(9/8) + x^2 - 9x + 1:

To find the derivative of each term, we can use the power rule for differentiation. For a term with the form ax^n, the derivative is given by nx^(n-1). Applying this rule to each term, we obtain:

f'(x) = (5/4) * 3x^(1/4) - (9/8) * (8/9) * x^(1/8) + 2x - 9

Simplifying further, we get:

f'(x) = 15/4x^(1/4) - x^(1/8) + 2x - 9

So, the answer provided is correct: f'(x) = 15/4x^(1/4) - x^(1/8) + 2x - 9.

2) Let f(x) = 7x^3 - 9x. Find f'(5):

To find the derivative of f(x), we can differentiate each term using the power rule for differentiation. We obtain:

f'(x) = 3 * 7x^(3-1) - 9

Simplifying further, we get:

f'(x) = 21x^2 - 9

Now, substituting x = 5 into f'(x), we have:

f'(5) = 21(5)^2 - 9 = 525 - 9 = 516

So, the answer provided is correct: f'(5) = 516.

3) Find the given limit by evaluating the derivative:

To find the limit, we need to evaluate the derivative of the given expression:

lim h → 0 (5(7+h)^2 - (7+h) - 238)

Differentiating each term, we have:

lim h → 0 (10(7+h) - 1)

Simplifying further, we get:

lim h → 0 (70 + 10h - 1)

lim h → 0 (69 + 10h)

Evaluating the limit as h approaches 0, we obtain:

lim h → 0 (69) = 69

So, the answer provided is correct: the limit is 69.

4) Find the slope and an equation of the tangent line to the graph of the function f at the specified point:

The given function is f(x) = -1/3x^2 + 5x + 5, and the specified point is (-1, -1/3).

To find the slope of the tangent line, we need to find the derivative of f(x). Differentiating the function, we obtain:

f'(x) = -2/3x + 5

Substituting x = -1 into f'(x), we have:

f'(-1) = -2/3(-1) + 5 = 2/3 + 5 = 17/3

Therefore, the slope of the tangent line is 17/3.

To find the equation of the tangent line, we use the point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1), where (x1, y1) is the given point and m is the slope. Substituting (-1, -1/3) for (x1, y1) and 17/3 for m, we have:

y - (-1/3) = (17/3)(x - (-1))

Simplifying, we get:

y + 1/3 = 17/3(x + 1)

Multiplying through by 3 to eliminate the fractions, we obtain:

3y + 1 = 17(x + 1)

Expanding further, we get:

3y + 1 = 17x + 17

Rearranging the terms, we have:

17x - 3y = -16

So, the equation of the tangent line is 17x - 3y = -16.

Therefore, the provided answer is correct: the slope of the tangent line is -2/3, and the equation of the tangent line is y = -2/3x - 1.
