Example Question #162 : How To Find Differential Functions
Find the first derivative of the following function.
None of these
The chain rule states that the derivative of a function in the form is .
The power rule states that the derivative of is .
As the outer function is the sine function and the inner one is the natural log we must use those derivative rules.
The derivative of sin is cos and the derivative of is .
Thus the answer is
.
Example Question #161 : Other Differential Functions
Find the general solution of the differential equation below
No general solution exists.
Notice that this differential equation is a "Seperable Differential Equation". That is, we can multiply the denominator over to the right side and then integrate both sides to find the general solution.
Seperate the variables and bring dx to the right hand side of the equation.
Remember to take any constant coefficient numbers outside the integral.
Integrate,
Recall the power rule of integration,
Therefore we get:
Example Question #162 : Other Differential Functions
Take the derivative of the function
This problem requires multiple uses of the chain rule for derivatives:
For the equation
Take the derivative of the value in the exponent, the term, which in turn requires taking the derivative of that function's exponent, the term.
This gives the value , yielding the answer:
or
Example Question #163 : Other Differential Functions
Determine the derivative of the function
This derivative requires the use of the chain rule, so work from the inside outwards.
In the function:
The derivative of is and the derivative of is , so the derivative of is . That leaves the outside.
The derivative of is and allows the determination of the complete derivative:
Example Question #164 : Other Differential Functions
Take the derivative of the function
To do this formula, utilize the product rule for derivatives:
For our function
Let and
We can find the first derivative:
Now for the second term, use the product rule for derivatives again:
Putting everything together, the derivative is:
Example Question #165 : Other Differential Functions
What is when ?
We can use the Product Rule, which says that for a function
(where and can be any function),
.
Applying this rule to our particular problem we get the following.
Example Question #166 : Other Differential Functions
What is if ?
The function is a product of two functions, and , the latter of which is composed of and .
So we use the Product Rule and the Chain Rule, respectively.
The Product Rule: for a function , .
The Chain Rule: for a function , .
Applying these rules to our particular function we get the following derivative.
Example Question #358 : Differential Functions
Find the derivative of the function
.
Since there is a division in the function:
It calls for the use of the quotient rule of derivatives:
The derivative of requires use of the chain rule. This follows the form of:
The function in the quotient, , is of the form whose derivative is .
Therefore:
Putting all of these things together, we can find the requested derivative:
Example Question #171 : How To Find Differential Functions
Find the derivative of the function
.
This problem requires use of the chain rule.
Begin with the outside sin function; the derivative of a sin function follows the form:
, where the is used to desiginate a derivative.
In this case, the .
The derivative of a natural log function follows the form:
Here
And finally for a cosine function:
Where
So putting these all together:
Example Question #171 : How To Find Differential Functions
Differentiate the function:
Apply the product rule:
Then apply the product rule (where "n" is the exponent) where needed.
