QUESTION 1

Y=sin(x), dy/dx=cos(x) adding indices or subtracting you keep the power as is and they have to be the
same terms e.g x2+3x2

Multiplying indices you add the powers for e.g 4x4 x 5x6=20x10

Dividing indices we subtract the powers e.g 4x3/2x=2x2

1/2x= 2x-1

X0=1

Y= cos(x), dy/dx= -sin(x)

Find the derivative of the following expressions.

Differentiating trig function f (x)=cos3x−lnx5

f’(x)=-3 sinx – x5/5x4

dy/dx= vu’-uv’/v2

u’=8x3-10

v’=4x-18x5

quotient rule y=2x4-10x/2x2-3x6

dy/dx=(2x2-3x6)(8x3-10) - 2x4-10x(4x-18x5)/ (2x2-3x6)2

dy/dx=2x2(8x3-10) -3x6(8x3-10)- 2x4(4x-18x5) -10x(4x-18x5)/ (2x2-3x6)2

dy/dx=16x5-20x2-24x9+30x6-8x5+36x9-40x2+180x6/(2x2-3x6)2

dy/dx=12x9+210x6+8x5-60x2/(2x2-3x6)2
QUESTION 2 A battery manufacturing company in May Pen calculates its production cos per day to be:
C(x)=300+9x−0.002x2

From the cost equation, what is the marginal cost when :

When we are finding the marginal cost we differentiate the equations C(x)=300+9x−0.002x 2 to
c’(x)=9 - 0.004x

i. x=150

c’(x)=9 - 0.004x

c’(150)=9 - 0.004(150)

c’(150)=9 - 0.6

c’(150)=$8.54

ii. ii. x=550


c’(x)=9 - 0.004x
c’(550)=9 - 0.004(550)
c’(550)=9 - 2.2
c’(550)=$6.8

iii. Give an interpretation of your results.


QUESTION 3

Integrate the following functions:


a) ∫2 /x2 dx
∫2x-2 dx
2x-1/-1 + c
-2x-1 +c or -2/x + c

b) ∫(x5+2x4+5) dx

X6/6 + 2x5/5 + 5x + c or 1/6 x6 + 2/5 x5 + 5x + c

c) If the fixed cost of producing x units of a commodity is C(0)=¿$3600 and its marginal cost
is C'(x)=0.9x2+4x, Write an expression for the cost function C (x) and determine the cost of
producing 30 units.

C(0)=$3600 c’(x)= 0.9x2+4x

∫ 0.9x2+4x dx

0.9x3/3 + 4x2/2 +c

0.3x3 +2x2 + c

C(x) = 0.3x3 +2x2 + 3600

C(30)= 0.3(30)3 +2(30)2 + 3600

C(30)=0.3(27000) + 2(900) + 3600

C(30)= 8100 + 1800 +3600

C(30)=$13500
QUESTION 4

Dy/dx= uv’ + vu’

U’=6x + 2 V’=2

a)Given f (x)=(3x2+2x)(2x−5),

find f '(x)

f’(x) = (3x2+2x)(2) + (2x−5)( 6x + 2 ) f’(x) = 6x2 + 4x + (2x−5)( 6x + 2 )

f’(x) = 6x2 + 4x + 2x( 6x + 2 )-5( 6x + 2 )

f’(x) = 6x2 + 4x + 12x2 + 4x -30x -10

f’(x) = 18x2-22x -10

b)A mathematician constructed the following model using by the Agricultural Ministry of Jamaica

V (t)=10lnt+7

where V (t)is tonnes of wheat produced by Jamaican farmers in a tLet t=0correspond to the year 2000.

V (t)=10ln0+7

i. Use the model to predict the wheat production in 2035


V(35)= 10 ln35+7

V(35) = 10(3.56)+7

V(35)= 35.6 +7

V(35)=42.6

ii. What is the rate of change of wheat production in 2025


V(25)= 10 ln25+7
V(25)=10(3.22)+7
V(25)=32.2+7
V(25)=39.2 +7

Rate of change f(b)-f(a)/b-a ln=dx/dy =2x-4/x2+4x


42.6 -39.2/35-25
3.4/10
0.34
QUESTION 5

data provided given year A company manufactures Lego toys. It was determined by research that the
marginal cost function for the production of the legos is:

C' (x)=200− 2x/ 5

Where 0≤x≤500

Using C(0)=0, find:

a) C(0)=0

b) The marginal cost when x=100

c’(100)=200-2(100)/5

c’(100)=200-40

c’(100)=$160

what is the increase in the cost of the legos when the number of legos produced jumps from 200 to 700

c) c’(200)=200-2(200)/5
c’(200)=200-80
c’(200)=$120

c’(700)=200-2(700)/5

c’(700)=200-280

c’(700)=-80

c’(700)- c’(200)=-80-120

=-200
