I don’t understand how to do this

Step-by-step explanation:

The question presumes you have access to a computer algebra system. The one I have access to provided the output in the attachment. The list at the bottom is the list of the first four derivatives of f(x).

__

The derivatives alternate signs, so (-1)^k will be a factor.

The numerators start at 17 and increase by increasing factors: 2, 3, 4, indicating k! will be a factor.

The denominators have a degree that is k+1.

Putting these observations together, we can write an expression for the k-th derivative of f(x):

step-by-step explanation:

if the four friends split the cost, p, of the pizza evenly, then each friend pays one-fourth of the cost of the pizza.

the expression is   or
