Answer from: mama9297

$\displaystyle u'(x) = \frac{-12}{(3x - 1)^2}$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Differentiation

DerivativesDerivative Notation

Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)$

Derivative Property [Addition/Subtraction]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(x) + g(x)] = \frac{d}{dx}[f(x)] + \frac{d}{dx}[g(x)]$

Basic Power Rule:

f(x) = cxⁿf’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Quotient Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle u(x) = \frac{4}{3x - 1}$

Step 2: Differentiate

Derivative Rule [Quotient Rule]: $\displaystyle u'(x) = \frac{(4)'(3x - 1) - 4(3x - 1)'}{(3x - 1)^2}$ Basic Power Rule [Derivative Properties]: $\displaystyle u'(x) = \frac{-4(3)}{(3x - 1)^2}$ Simplify: $\displaystyle u'(x) = \frac{-12}{(3x - 1)^2}$

Answer from: Quest

Do the inverse operation

Answer from: Quest

starting with:

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.

trying x = -0.5

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.

trying x = 0

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.

trying x = 1

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
