For the following two (02) items: Consider the function f(x) = cases 4(5^x), & x What is f'(-1) equal to?
Options
- A2 5 5
- B3 5 5
- C4 5 5
- D20 5
Correct answer
C. 4 5 5
Step-by-step solution
For x Differentiating with respect to x , we get: f'(x) = 4(5^x 5) To find f'(-1) , substitute x = -1 into the derivative: f'(-1) = 4(5⁻¹ 5) f'(-1) = 4 5 5 Answer: 4 5 5
