When a raindrop falls, it increases in size, and so its mass at time t is a function of t, namely, m(t). The rate of growth of the mass is km(t) for some positive constant k. When we apply Newton's law of motion to the raindrop, w get (mv)' gm, where v is the velocity of the raindrop (directed downward) and t is the acceleration due to gravity. The terminal velocity of the raindrop is lim v(t). Find an expression for the terminal velocity in terms of g and k. t→ lim v(t)=

For the function f(x)=2x^2−3x−1 find f(x+h)−f(x)/h. Overall, how would I solve the difference quotient? (p.s. this is business calculus so it might be slightly different than regular calculus) thank you!!
I noticed that the difference quotient is always zero if f(x) = c, where c is any constant.
In the previous Problem Set question, we started looking at the position functions (t), the position of an object at time t. Two important physics concepts are the velocity and the acceleration. If the current position of the object at time is as (t), then the position at time h later is a (t+h). The average velocity (speed) during that additional time his (s(t+h)-s(t)) If we want to analyze the instantaneous velocity at time t, this can be made into a mathematical model by taking the limit as h→0. i.e. the derivative a' (t). Use this function in the model below for the velocity function (). h The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so using the same logic, the acceleration function a(t) can be modeled with the derivative of the velocity function, or the second derivative of the position function a(t) = ✔ (t) =" (t). Problem set question: A particle moves according to the position functions (t) = etsin (2). Enclose arguments of functions in parentheses. For example, sin…
1. Candace tried to find the derivative of the function y = h(x)e-4f(x) but her group members disagreed with her result. What did she get right? What did she get wrong? Correct her y' = h'(x)e-4f(x) + h(x)e-4f(x) (-4) work. After figuring out her error, Candace attempted to check her solution by rearranging the right side of the equation y = h(x)e-4f(x) into a fraction and using the quotient rule to differentiate. Verify the correct solution using this method.
Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of f at the point (2, f(2)). f(x) = 3(8x − 2)4 y =? The textbook has a different asnwer than mine, but I came up with this one y=3687936x-7260624. Can you please create a step by step, so I can see what I did wrong. Thank you in advance.
Find an equation of the line that is tangent to the graph of fand parallel to the given line. Function Line f{x) = x²|4x – y + 4 = 0 STEP 1: Find f '(x) using the limit definition of the derivative. f "(x) = STEP 2: Find the slope m of the given line. m = STEP 3: Equate f '(x) with the slope and solve for x. STEP 4: Find the corresponding y value by substituting x into f(x). At the point (x, y) = (| ] ) the tangent line of f(x) is parallel to 4x – y + 4 = 0. STEP 5: Use the results of Step 2 and Step 4 with the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line. y =
