- Explain the relationship between the slope and the derivative of fx at x=a.arrow_forwardFind derivatives of the functions defined as follows. y=4-5x+2arrow_forwardMargy and Nate are working on taking the derivative of fx=23x+14. Margy uses the quotient rule and chain rule as follows: f'x=3x+140-243x+1333x+18 f'x=-243x+133x+18=-243x+15. Nate rewrites the function and uses the power rule and chain rule as follows: fx=23x+1-4 f'x=-423x+1-53=-243x+15. Compare the two procedures. Which procedure do you think is preferable?arrow_forward
