None of the other answers
None of the other answers
The correct answer is 11.
Taking the derivative ofinvolves the product rule, and the chain rule.
Substitutinginto both sides of the derivative we get
.
Example Question #2 :Derivative Review
Given:
Find f'(x):
Computation of the derivative requires the use of the Product Rule and Chain Rule.
The Product Rule is used in a scenario when one has two differentiable functions multiplied by each other:
This can be easily stated in words as: "First times the derivative of the second, plus the second times the derivative of the first."
In the problem statement, we are given:
is the "First" function, andis the "Second" function.
The "Second" function requires use of the Chain Rule.
When:
Applying these formulas results in:
Simplifying the terms inside the brackets results in:
We notice that there is a common term that can be factored out in the sets of equations on either side of the "+" sign. Let's factor these out, and make the equation look "cleaner".
Inside the brackets, it is possible to clean up the terms into one expanded function. Let us do this:
Simplifying this results in one of the answer choices:
Example Question #8 :Definition Of Derivative
Evaluation of this integral requires use of the Product Rule. One must also need to recall the form of the derivative of.
Product Rule:
Applying these two rules results in:
This matches one of the answer choices.
Example Question #33 :Derivative Review
Compute the derivative:
Computation of this derivative will require the use of the Product Rule, and knowledge of the derivative of theinverse tangentfunction, andnatural logarithmicfunction:
We can now easily compute the derivative.
This simplifies to:
This is one of the answer choices.
Example Question #35 :Derivative Review
Find dy/dx:
Solving for the derivative requires knowledge of the rule for theinverse tangentfunction:
In our case:
We can take the derivative of this using the product rule:
Now we can simply plug all of this into the above formula and we arrive at:
Simplifying this further gives:
Example Question #6 :Derivative At A Point
What is the slope ofat?
In order to find the slope of a function at a certain point, plug in that point into the first derivative of the function. Our first step here is to take the first derivative.
因为我们看到,f (x)是由两个不同t functions, we must use the product rule. Remember that the product rule goes as follows:
Following that procedure, we setequal toandequal to.
,
which can be simplified to
.
Now plug in 1 to find the slope at x=1.
Remember that.
Example Question #1 :Derivative At A Point
Find the value of the derivate of the given function at the point:
为了解决这个问题,首先我们需要derivative of the function. To do this we need to use the quotient rule and simplified as follows:
From here we need to evaluate at the given point. In this case, only the x value is important, so we evaluate our derivative at x=2 to get
.
Example Question #1 :衍生品规则总结、产品和商
Find the slope of the tangent line to the functionat.
The slope of the tangent line to a function at a point is the value of the derivative of the function at that point. In this problem,is a quotient of two functions,, so the quotient rule is needed.
In general, the quotient rule is
.
To apply the quotient rule in this example, you must also know thatand that.
Therefore, the derivative is
The last step is to substituteforin the derivative, which will tell us the slope of the tangent line toat.
Example Question #1 :First And Second Derivatives Of Functions
Find the second derivative of the given function:
To find the second derivative, first we need to find the first derivative. To find the first derivative we need to use the quotient rule as follows. So for the given function, we get the first derivative to be
.
Now we have to take the derivative of the derivative. To do this we need to use the quotient rule as shown below.
Thus, we get
