Question
REASONING Is the statement $x_{n} \neq x_{n-1}$ sometimes, always, or never true if $x_{n}=f\left(x_{n-1}\right) ?$ Explain.
Step 1
This means that the value of $x_{n}$ is obtained by applying the function $f$ to the value of $x_{n-1}$. Show more…

Determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false. $$\text { If } f(x)=\frac{1}{x^{n}}, \text { then } f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{1}{n x^{n-1}}$$.

In Exercises 87–92, determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false. If $f(x)=1 / x^{n},$ then $f^{\prime}(x)=1 /\left(n x^{n-1}\right)$
