BIT 1000/1100 TEST 3 - Solutions November 2010: 23) - (Do Not Simplify.) - (Simplify The Numerator.)

This document contains solutions to test problems involving differentiation. The problems cover differentiating functions using standard rules, finding average and instantaneous rates of change, implicit differentiation, and higher order derivatives. The solutions provide the step-by-step work to differentiate a variety of functions, including polynomials, rational functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, and implicit functions. Simplification is performed on results where possible to put them in a clear product form.

TEST 3 - Solutions

November 2010

1. [8 Marks]
Find the derivative of the following functions using the appropriate rules of dierentiation:
[2] (a) () = (5 + 33 + 1)(72 23). (Do not simplify.)
[3] (b) () =

22
. (Simplify the numerator.)
33 + 5

[3] (c) () = 2(1 32 )1/4 .


Solution:
(a) () = (5 + 33 + 1) (72 23) + (5 + 33 + 1)(72 23) =
= (54 + 92 )(72 23) + (5 + 33 + 1)(14 1).

6. [ 5 Marks] Find the second derivative of the function () = (22 5)4 . Simplify the
nal answer so that it is presented as a product.
Solution:
() = 4(22 5)3 (22 5) = 16(22 5)3 .
[

() = (16) (22 5)3 + 16 (22 5)3 = 16(22 5)3 + 16 3(22 5)2 (22 5)
= 16(22 5)3 + 1922 (22 5)2 = 16(22 5)2 [22 5 + 122 ] = 16(22 5)2 (142 5).
