b) Using the result of (a), find the derivative of f at x .
Answer: f'(x)=______. Note. The correct answer should be an expression in x.
c) Suppose that the position of a particle at time t is given by s=−5t^(2)+7t+15. What is the particle's instantaneous velocity at time t=2?
Answer: The particle's instantaneous velocity at time t=2 is _____
2. Differentiate the given functions. For this question, you may use the following differentiation rules and formulas:
If r is any rational number, then d/dx (x^r)=rx^(r-1).
If f and g are differentiable functions of x, and if α and β are constants, then
d/dx (αf(x)+βg(x))= α d/dx (f(x))+β d/dx (g(x)).
In each case, state the domain of the derivative.

Hi,
Please find the solutions/explanations attached herewith.
1. Consider the function f(x) = (−5x^(2))+7x+15.
a) For the given function f, the expression f(x+h)-f(x)/h can be simplified to the form Ax+Bh+C, where A, B and C are constants. Do it.
f(x+h) = -5(x+h)^2 + 7(x+h) + 15
f(x) = -5x^2 + 7x + 15
Answer: -10x - 5h + 7
Answer: f(x)=(−5x^2)+7x+15= -10x+(-5)h+7
b) Using the result of (a), find the derivative of f at x .
Answer: f'(x)=______. Note. The correct answer should be an expression in x.
Put h = 0
f'(x) = -10x + 7
c) Suppose that the position of a particle at time t is given by ...
