Find the derivative of (5+3x)5.
Possible Answers:
5x(5+3x)^4
15(5+3x)^4
5(5+3x)^4x
15x(5+3x)^4
5(5+3x)^4
Correct answer: 15(5+3x)^4
Explanation:
We'll solve this using the chain rule.
Dx[(5+3x)5]
=5(5+3x)4 * Dx[5+3x]
=5(5+3x)4(3)
=15(5+3x)4
Find Dx[sin(7x)].
Possible Answers:
7sin(7x)
-7sin(7x)
7sin(7x)cos(7x)
7cos(7x)
-7cos(7x)
Correct answer: 7cos(7x)
Explanation:
First, remember that Dx[sin(x)]=cos(x). Now we can solve the problem using the Chain Rule.
Dx[sin(7x)]
=cos(7x)*Dx[7x]
=cos(7x)*(7)
=7cos(7x)
Calculate fxxyz if f(x,y,z)=sin(4x+yz).
Possible Answers:
-16sin(4x+yz)
4sin(4x+yz)
-16cos(4x+yz) +16yzsin(4x+yz)
arctan(4x+yz)
cos(4x+yz)
Correct answer: -16cos(4x+yz) +16yzsin(4x+yz)
Explanation:
We can calculate this answer in steps. We start with differentiating in terms of the left most variable in "xxyz". So here we start by taking the derivative with respect to x.
First, fx= 4cos(4x+yz)
Then, fxx= -16sin(4x+yz)
fxxy= -16zcos(4x+yz)
Finally, fxxyz= -16cos(4x+yz) + 16yzsin(4x+yz)

Correct answer:
Find the general solution, , to the differential equation
.
Correct answer:
Explanation:
We can use separation of variables to solve this problem since all of the "y-terms" are on one side and all of the "x-terms" are on the other side. The equation can be written as .
Integrating both sides gives us .
Consider ; by multiplying by both the left and the right hand sides can be swiftly integrated as
where . So, for example, can be rewritten as:
. We will use this trick on another simple case with an exact integral.
Correct answer:
Explanation:
As described in the problem, we are given
.
We can multiply both sides by :
Recognize the pattern of the chain rule in two different ways:
This yields:
We use the initial conditions to solve for C, noticing that at and This means that C must be 1 above, which makes the right hand side a perfect square:
To see whether the + or - symbol is to be used, we see that the derivative starts out positive, so the positive square root is to be used. Then following the hint we can rewrite it as:
,
which we learned to solve by the trigonometric substitution, yielding:
Clearly and the fact that again gives us so

Integrating once, we get:
Integrating a second time gives:
We integrate the first term by parts using to get:
Canceling the x's we get:
Defining gives the above form.
The Fibonacci numbers are defined as

The n'th derivatives of a function are defined as:
Find the Fibonacci function defined by:
whose derivatives at 0 are therefore the Fibonacci numbers.
Correct answer:
Explanation:
To solve , we ignore of the derivatives to get simply:
This can be solved by assuming an exponential function , which turns this expression into
