Example Question #346 : Differential Functions
Find given the following function .
Since F(x) equals the integral of this function, F'(x) must then be the derivative.
The derivative is the integrand, of which we are taking the integral.
Evaluate the integrand at the bounds that you see for the integral. Doing this will give us the value of the derivative.
Example Question #349 : Differential Functions
Find the first derivative of the following function.
None of these
First recall the power rule which states that the derivative of is .
That makes the derivative of equal .
To find the derivative of the second part of the function we must use the multiplication rule. It states that the derivative of
is .
Using trigonometric derivatives we know the derivative of sine is cosine. Also, the rule associated for the derivative of is .
Thus the derivative of
is
so the final answer is
Example Question #161 : How To Find Differential Functions
Derive the derivative of .
None of these
The quotient rule states that the derivative of is .
The rules of trigonometric functions states that the derivative of sine is cosine and the derivative of cosine is negative sine.
The derivative of tangent is thus,
By the Pythagorean trig identities the above is equal to .
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 #163 : How To Find 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 #164 : How To Find 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 #165 : How To Find 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 #166 : How To Find 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 #167 : How To Find 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 #168 : How To Find 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.
