Find f'(0) for the function. provide an exact answer (meaning no rounding is involved).

The derivative of a function like this is computed with the following formula:

So, in your case, we have

When you evaluate this at 0, you have

a

step-by-step explanation:

x² + 3x + 7 = 0       [ax² + bx + c]

a = 1

b = 3

c = 7

quadratic formula:

    (+/- is this ±)

plug in the numbers into the variables

your answer is a
