Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the problem shown in the image.
Given Information:
You are provided with two functions and whose graphs are shown. Two new functions are defined:
You are asked to compute:
- (which you got correct).
- (for which you received incorrect feedback).
Strategy:
To solve for these derivatives, we will need the Product Rule and the Quotient Rule.

Product Rule:
-
Quotient Rule:
Part (b) :
To compute , we need to:
- Find the values of and from the graph.
- Find the slopes and , which are the derivatives of and at .
From the graph:
- and are the -values at .
- and are the slopes at .
Let me analyze the graph more closely to extract the required values.I've opened the image for closer inspection. Now, let's extract the relevant values from the graph at :
-
and :
- From the graph, find the y-values of and at .
-
and :
- These are the slopes of the lines at , calculated by selecting two points on the line around and applying the slope formula:
Let me interpret the graph visually to find these values.Upon closer inspection of the graph:
-
At :

Now for the slopes at :
-
(slope of near ): Using two points from the graph for between and :
- The points seem to be and , giving the slope:

(slope of near ): Using points around for :
- Points seem to be and , giving the slope:
-
Now let's plug these values into the Quotient Rule for :
Thus, .
