BONUS: What is the first derivative of f(x)=5x2+2x+7?
Correct Answer
10x+2Explanation
The first derivative of a function measures the rate at which the function is changing at any given point. In this case, the function f(x) is a polynomial with three terms: 5x^2, 2x, and 7. To find the derivative, we apply the power rule, which states that the derivative of x^n is equal to n*x^(n-1). Applying this rule to each term, the first derivative of f(x) is 10x + 2.Rate this question:
