Answer

$p′(4) = 4$ $q′(7)= 3/4$

Work Step by Step

(a) We have that $p(x)=f(x)∗g(x) $ so $p(4)=f(4)∗g(4)$ $p′(4)=f(4)∗g′(4)+g(4)∗f′(4)$ watching the graph: $f(4)= 1$ $g′(4)=0$ $g(4)=8$ $f′(4)=1/2$ So $p′(4) = 1(0)+8(1/2) = 0+4 = 4$ (b) We have that $q(x)=f(x)/g(x)$ so $q(7)=f(7)/g(7)$ $q′(7)=\frac{g(7)∗f′(7)−f(7)∗g′(7)}{[g(7)]^2}$ watching the graph: $g(7)= 4$ $f′(7)= 2$ $f(7)= 4$ $g′(7)=-1$ So $q′(7)=\frac{4(2)−4(-1)}{16}= \frac{8+4}{16} = 3/4$
