Correct answer:

Explanation:

We will use the fact thatto differentiate. Letand.Substituing our values we can see the derivative will be

Example Question #22 :Solutions To Differential Equations

Differentiate the expression.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Using the product rule, we determine the derivative of
Letand.We can see thatand

Plugging in our values into the product rule formula, we are left with the final derivative of

Example Question #23 :Solutions To Differential Equations

Differentiate the value.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

According to the power rule, whenever we differentiate a constant value it will reduce to zero. Since the only term of our function is a constant, we can only differentiate

Example Question #24 :Solutions To Differential Equations

Find

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Using the chain rule, we will differentiate the exponent of our exponential function, and then multiply our original function. Differentiating our exponent with the power rule will yield.Using the chain rule we will multiply this by our original function resulting in

Example Question #25 :Solutions To Differential Equations

Find

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Using the power rule, we can differentiate our first term reducing the power by one and multiplying our term by the original power., will thus become.The second term is a constant value, so according to the power rule this term will become

Example Question #26 :Solutions To Differential Equations

Differentiate the logarithm.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Using the chain rule, we will determine the derivative of our function will be

The derivative of the log function is, and our second term of the chain rule will cancel out

Thus our derivative will be

Example Question #21 :Solutions To Differential Equations

Differentiate the polynomial.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Using the power rule, we can differentiate our first term reducing the power by one and multiplying our term by the original power., will thus become.The second term, will thus become.The last term is, will reduce to

Example Question #28 :Solutions To Differential Equations

Find

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

According to the quotient rule, the derivative of ,

We will letand
Plugging all of our values into the quotient rule formula we come to a final solution of :

Example Question #29 :Solutions To Differential Equations

Differentiate the polynomial.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Using the power rule, we can differentiate our first term reducing the power by one and multiplying our term by the original power., will thus become.The second term, will thus become

Example Question #30 :Solutions To Differential Equations

Solve the differential equation:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Rewriteby multiply theon both sides, and dividingon both sides of the equation.

Integrate both sides of the equation and solve for y.
