Given Solution: `a** The function is `sqrt( (x^2 * 5^x)^3 ) = (x^2 * 5^x)^(3/2). This is of form f(g(x)) with g(x) = x^2 * 5^x and f(z) = z^(3/2). Thus when you substitute you get f(g(x)) = g(x)^(3/2) = (x^2 * 5^x)^(3/2). (x^2 * 5^x) ' = (x^2)' * 5^x + x^2 * (5^x) ' = 2x * 5^x + x^2 ln 5 * 5^x = (2x + x^2 ln 5) * 5^x. `sqrt(z^3) = z^(3/2), so using w(x) = f(g(x)) with f(z) = z^(3/2) and g(x) = x^2 * 5^x we get w ' = (2x + x^2 ln 5) * 5^x * [3/2 (x^2 * 5^x)^(1/2)] = 3/2 (2x + x^2 ln 5) * | x | * 5^(1/2 x). Note that sqrt(x^2) is | x |, not just x, since the square root must be positive and x might not be. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): unsure if I got that right ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:1

Given Solution: `aThis function is a composite. The inner function is g(x)=5t-1 and the outer function is f(z)=2^z. f'(z)=ln(2) * 2^z. g ' (x)=5 so (f(g(t)) ' = g ' (t)f ' (g(t))= 5 ln(2) * 2^(5t-1). &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:OK ********************************************* Question: `q**** Query 3.4.67 was 3.4.68 (3d edition 3.4.56) y = k (x), y ' (1) = 2. What is the derivative of k(2x) when x = 1/2? What is the derivative of k(x+1) when x = 0? {]What is the derivative of k(x/4) when x = 4? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: ???????I had a very hard time with this problem, I would like a bit of elaboration and explanation on it. ?????I also dont understand why it says y=k(x), what is the point of information, doesnt that just mean we can interchange k(x) and y, so saying K(2x) means the answer is equal to y. k(2x)=y k'(2x)=y' ??????it feels like this is that one that confused me, a function being inside itself, so the derivative was something like x'f(x), I couldnt make much sense of it.

Given Solution: `a** We apply the Chain Rule: ( k(2x) ) ' = (2x) ' * k'(2x) = 2 k(2x). When x = 1/2 we have 2x = 1. k ' (1) = y ' (1) = 2 so when x = 1/2 ( k(2x) ) ' = 2 k(2 * 1/2) = 2 * k'(1) = 2 * 2 = 4. (k(x+1)) ' = (x+1)' k ' (x+1) = k ' (x+1) so when x = 0 we have (k(x+1) ) ' = k ' (x+1) = k ' (1) = 2 (k(x/4)) ' = (x/4)' k'(x/4) = 1/4 * k'(x/4) so when x = 4 we have (k(x/4))' = 1/4 * k'(x/4) = 1/4 k'(4/4) = 1/4 * 2 = 1/2. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I don't understand this problem very well still. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:0 ********************************************* Question: `qQuery 3.4.81 (3d edition 3.4.68). Q = Q0 e^(-t/(RC)). I = dQ/dt. Show that Q(t) and I(t) both have the same time constant. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: The first one looks like the compound interest, but I do not understand how to do the problem. I also do not know what RC is. is this the rate? confidence rating #$&*:0 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `a** We use the Chain Rule. (e^(-t/(RC)))' = (-t/(RC))' * e^(-t/(RC)) = -1/(RC) * e^(-t/(RC)). So dQ/dt = -Q0/(RC) * e^(-t/(RC)). Both functions are equal to a constant factor multiplied by e^(-t/(RC)). The time constant for both functions is therefore identical, and equal to RC. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I see what you did i think f(x)= e^x g(x)= -t/RC I do not know however, how I could know to do this. what is dQ/dt= is this the derivative, or the average rate of change?

Given Solution: `a** sin(3x) is the composite of g(x) = 3x, which is the 'inner' function (the first function that operates on the variable x) and the 'outer' function f(z) = sin(z). Thus f(g(x)) = sin(g(x)) = sin(3x). The derivative is (f (g(x) ) ' = g ' (x) * f' ( g(x) ). g ' (x) = (3x) ' = 3 * x ' = 3 ', and f ' (z) = (sin(z) ) ' = cos(z). So the derivative is [ sin(3x) ] ' = ( f(g(x) ) ' = g ' (x) * f ' (g(x) ) = 3 * cos(3x). ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:OK ********************************************* Question: `qQuery problem 3.5.50 was 3.5.48 (3d edition 3.5.50) (formerly 4.5.36). Give the equations of the tangent lines to graph of y = sin(x) at x = 0 and at `pi/3 YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: sin(0)=0 x=0, y=0 y'=cos(0)=1 slope is 1 ????? why is this. because the derivative is rate of change, and so for a consistant line, would be slope, m, and and is what is used for y-y1=m(x-x1) x=PI/3 y=about .866025403 y'=cos(PI/3)=.5 y-0=1(x-0) y=x y-.866025403=.5(x-(PI/3)) y-.866025403=1/2x-PI/6 about y=1/2x + .342426627 confidence rating #$&*:2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: `a** At x = 0 we have y = 0 and y ' = cos(0) = 1. The tangent line is therefore the line with slope 1 through (0,0), so the line is y - 0 = 1 ( x - 0) or just y = x. At x = `pi/3 we have y = sin(`pi/3) = `sqrt(3) / 2 and y ' = cos(`pi/3) = .5. Thus the tangent line has slope .5 and passes thru (`pi/3,`sqrt(3)/2), so its equation is y - `sqrt(3)/2 = .5 (x - `pi/3) y = .5 x - `pi/6 + `sqrt(3)/2. Approximating: y - .87 = .5 x - .52. So y = .5 x + .25, approx. Our approximation to sin(`pi/6), based on the first tangent line: The first tangent line is y = x. So the approximation at x = `pi / 6 is y = `pi / 6 = 3.14 / 6 = .52, approximately. Our approximation to sin(`pi/6), based on the second tangent line, is: y = .5 * .52 + .34 = .60. `pi/6 is equidistant from x=0 and x=`pi/3, so we might expect the accuracy to be the same whichever point we use. The actual value of sin(`pi/6) is .5. The approximation based on the tangent line at x = 0 is .52, which is much closer to .5 than the .60 based on the tangent line at x = `pi/3. The reason for this isn't too difficult to see. The slope is changing more quickly around x = `pi/3 than around x = 0. Thus the tangent line will move more rapidly away from the actual function near x = `pi/3 than near x = 0. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:OK ********************************************* Question: `qQuery 3.5.34 (3d edition 3.5.40). Der of sin(sin x + cos x) What is the derivative of the given function and how did you find it? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: f(x)= sin(x) g(x)= sin(x) + cos(x) f'(x)=cos(x) g'(x)=cos(x)-sin(x) f'(g(x))=cos(cos(x)-sin(x) ) f'(g(x)) + g'(x) cos(cos(x)-sin(x) ) + cos(x)-sin(x) confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Given Solution: `aThe function y = sin( sin(x) + cos(x) ) is the composite of g(x) = sin(x) + cos(x) and f(z) = sin(z). The derivative of the composite is g ' (x) * f ' (g(x) ). g ' (x) = (sin(x) + cos(x) ) ' = cos(x) - sin(x). f ' (z) = sin(z) ' = cos(z).
