    Find the derivative of F(x) = (8x^3 - 1)/(2x - 1), is this right?

    Homework Statement 22. Divide the expression before differentiating. F(x) = (8x^3 - 1)/ (2x - 1) Homework Equations F'(x) = An^(x-1) The Attempt at a Solution F(x) = [(8x^3) / (2x - 1)] - [(1)/(2x - 1)] = [(4x^2)/(1)] - [(1) / (2x - 1)] = (4x^2) - (2x-1)^-1 F'(x) = (8x...

    What is the final temperature of the soup after the ice has melted?

    rds to problem 12 I used m*c*delta T=m*c*delta T where I used the c as 4186J/kg*C for both of the specific heats. Is this right?

    Solve Parabola Problem 45: Vertex, Axis of Symmetry, Focus, and Directrix

    This is what I have done: x=(y2- (3/2)y )+ 15 = 4(y-0.75)^2 +15-.5625 = 4(y-0.75)^2+231/16 Is this right?
