Use the definition of the derivative to compute Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}} for Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y=3\sqrt{-2x+5}.}


Foundations:  
Limit Definition of Derivative


Solution:

Step 1:  
Let Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x)=3\sqrt{-2x+5}.}
Using the limit definition of the derivative, we have

Step 2:  
Now, we multiply the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the numerator.
Hence, we have
