f(x) = (x+2)*ln x finf f'(1)

To calculate the value of the derivative of the function,
for x = 1, we'll have to differentiate the function.


To
differentiate the function, we'll use the rule of the
product:


f'(x) = (x+2)'*ln x  + (x+2)*(ln
x)'


f'(x) = ln x
+ (x+2)/x


Now, we can substitute the variable by the value
1.


f'(1) =  ln 1 + (1+2)/1


We
know, by definition, that ln 1 = 0.


f'(1) = 0 +
3/1


f'(1) =
3

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
