@3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

What is that?

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

Your expression looks like this. ((x2-2)x)/x3+3 It is not possible to make any siginificant improvement on the numeration or denominator. You should get something like dy/dx=(-6+9 x^2+4 x^3)/(3+x^3)^2 as your answer using the quotient rule and then the chain rule and power rule.

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@DoodleDuck8 wow! thank you- so it would be C right??

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

Which one is C

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

what was the answer that you were thinking?? @DoodleDuck8

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

Yes, I think it is C

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

really? are you a 100% sure? :-) @DoodleDuck8

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

Yes :)

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

ok- may i ask you a few more please?? you really help alot!

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

please:-)

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

Ok

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

Sorry figuring it out

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

its fine thankyou

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

take the derivative of f(g(x)). just treat them like they are variables. so you get: h'=f'(g(x))g'(x) now plug in your x value and evaluate: h'(1)=f'(g(1))(g'(1)) substitute in values that you know and evaluate again h'(1)=f'(3)(-3) h'(1)=(-5)(-3)=15

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

Remember the chain rule. L(x)=f(g(x)) L'(x)=f'(g(x))g'(x)

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

so ti would be A:??? @DoodleDuck8

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

please dont leave i have just 2 more wustions please :-)

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

Yes A, I will stay

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

Suppose f and g are differentiable functions and that (f g) (x)= x^2/x-1, f(4)=2 and f'(4)=3/4 Determine the following a) g(4) and b) g'(4)

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

No problem

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

there are no multiple choices for this one sorry what do you think it wil be?

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

The function f(x) = (x3 + 2x + 3)(3x3 - 6x2 - 8x + 1). Simplify f(x). f(x) = (x3 + 2x + 3)(3x3 - 6x2 - 8x + 1) = 3x6 + 6x4 + 9x3 - 6x5 - 12x3 - 18x2 - 8x4 - 16x2 - 24x + x3 + 2x + 3 = 3x6 - 6x5 - 2x4 - 2x3 - 34x2 - 22x + 3 ⇒ f(x) = 3x6 - 6x5 - 2x4 - 2x3 - 34x2 - 22x + 3. Differentiate the function with resprct to x. f '(x) = [3x6 - 6x5 - 2x4 - 2x3 - 34x2 - 22x + 3]' f '(x) = 3(x6)' - 6(x5)' - 2(x4)' - 2(x3)' - 34(x2)' - 22x' + 3' Derivative of xn = nx(n - 1) and derivative of constant is zero. f '(x) = 3(6x5) - 6(5x4) - 2(4x3) - 2(3x2) - 34(2x) - 22(1) + 0 f '(x) = 18x5 - 30x4 - 8x3 - 6x2 - 68x - 22. Again differentiate the above equation with respect to x. f ''(x) = [18x5 - 30x4 - 8x3 - 6x2 - 68x - 22]' f ''(x) = 18(x5)' - 30(x4)' - 8(x3)' - 6(x2)' - 68x' - 22' f ''(x) = 18(5x5) - 30(4x3) - 8(3x2) - 6(2x) - 68(1) - 0 f ''(x) = 90x5 - 120x3 - 24x2 - 12x - 68. Therefore, coefficient of the squared term(i.e, coefficient of x2) of f ''(x) is - 24.

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

Answer : -24

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

i agree! thats what i got!!! Now finally last one??: Find f '(−4), if f(x) = (5x2 + 6x)(3x2 + 7). Round your answer to the nearest integer. Use the hyphen symbol, -, for negative values.

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

That's great

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

f'(x) = (10x+6)*(3x^2+7) + (5x^2 + 6x)*(6x) f'(-4) = (-40+6)*(48+7) + (80-24)*(-24) = -34*55 + 56*(-24) = -3214

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

That is correct.

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

thank you! and for the second to last question where the answr you said and the answer i got (-24) that was wrong.... can we try it again?

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

@DoodleDuck8

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

Ok, sorry

OpenStudy (doodleduck8):

The function looks like (u.v), so its derivative looks like: (u'.v) + (v'.u) → where: u = x³ + 2x + 3 → u' = 3x² + 2 v = 3x³ - 6x² - 8x + 1 → v' = 9x² - 12x - 8 f'(x) = (u'.v) + (v'.u) f'(x) = [(3x² + 2)(3x³ - 6x² - 8x + 1)] + [(9x² - 12x - 8)(x³ + 2x + 3)] f'(x) = [9x^5 - 18x^4 - 24x³ + 3x² + 6x³ - 12x² - 16x + 2] + [9x^5 + 18x³ + 27x² - 12x^4 - 24x² - 36x - 8x³ - 16x - 24] f'(x) = 9x^5 - 18x^4 - 24x³ + 3x² + 6x³ - 12x² - 16x + 2 + 9x^5 + 18x³ + 27x² - 12x^4 - 24x² - 36x - 8x³ - 16x - 24 f'(x) = 18x^5 - 30x^4 - 8x³ - 6x² - 68x - 22 f''(x) = 90x^4 - 120x³ - 24x² - 12x - 68
