dy/dt y=cos [sqrt(4t+11)]
Chain rule.
Let u = √4t+11) --> u' = ....
I got the answer as \[-sinx \sqrt{4t+11} + \cos (2) (4t+11)^{-1/2}\]
but the answer is actually with no (cos), what did I do wrong?
Shouldn't be adding anything. Chain rule says to multiply all the derivatives together.
( cosu)' = - u' sinu
can you give me all steps so I can compare what I did wrong?
There are three functions: cos [sqrt(4t+11)], sqrt(4t+11), and 4t+11. Find the derivatives of those three, then multiply them together.
If it helps, think of it like this: y=cos W W=sqrt(U) U=4t+11
it worked thanks
so let's say if it's \[t ^{6}(t ^{5}+4)^{5}\] How would you divide out each individual like you just did
Option one is to simplify by multiplying everything out then going term-by-term. Option two is to see that you have a product of U*V : U = t^6 V= W^5 W = t^5+4 You'll need a combination of product rule and chain rule here.
thanks
how did they get the answer as \[t ^{5}(t ^{5}+4)^{4}(31^{5}+24)\]
For \[\large \frac{d}{dx} t^6(t^5+4)^5 \space ?\]
\[6t ^{5}(....)\]
I don't understand this either, \[\large "t^5(t^5+4)^4(31^5+24)"\] What is that the answer to?
to that same problem, but that is the answer in the solution manual
Then I still don't get it.
u = t^6 ---> u' = 6t^5 v = ( t^5 + 4) ^5 ---->v' = 5( t^5 + 4) ^4 * 5t^4 = 25 t^4 ( t^5 + 4) ^4
,,,, = t^5 ( t^5 + 4) ^4 [ 6( t^5 + 4) + 25 t^5 ]
= t^5 ( t^5 + 4) ^4 [ 31 t^5 + 24 ]
So the textbook has typo at 31^5 !
@thuyvy Questions?
I got it, thanks :)
you're the best chlorophyll, you saved me !! Thanks :)
@Chlorophyll: can you help me on some other problems?
Did you open new post, keep it simple one question per post will be less confused for the solver!
