Answer:
h'(1)=0
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the definition of the derivative of a quotient:
If [tex]h(x)=\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}[/tex], then:
[tex]h'(x)=\frac{f'(x)*g(x)-f(x)*g'(x)}{(g(x))^2}[/tex]
Since in our case we want the derivative of [tex]h(x)[/tex] at the point x = 1, which is indicated by: h'(1), we need to evaluate the previous expression at x = 1, that is:
[tex]h'(1)=\frac{f'(1)*g(1)-f(1)*g'(1)}{(g(1))^2}[/tex]
which, by replacing with the given numerical values:
[tex]f(1) =4\\g(1)=3\\f'(1)=-4\\g'(1)=-3[/tex]
becomes:
[tex]h'(1)=\frac{f'(1)*g(1)-f(1)*g'(1)}{(g(1))^2}=\\=\frac{-4*3-4*(-3)}{(3)^2}=\frac{-12+12}{9} =\frac{0}{9} =0[/tex]
