Differentiate each

1. Y= 1/x + 3/x^2 + 2/x^3

2. Y= x^5(1+ x)^5

3. Y= 4-x^2 / 2x+3

Can someone help me I'm lost

1 answer

1. Just use the power rule
recall that 1/x^2 = x^-2

2. product and chain rule:
y = x^5 (1+x)^5
y' = 5x^4 (1+x)^5 + x^5 * 5(1+x)^4
= 5x^4(1+x)^4 (1+2x)

3. quotient rule. Assuming the usual carelessness with parentheses,

y = (4-x^2)/(2x+3)
y' = [(-2x)(2x+3) - (4-x^2)(2)]/(2x+3)^2
= 2(x^2+3x+4)/(2x+3)^2

  2. 1) solve:e^x(x^2-4)=0e^x=0 and then (x+2)(x-2) so x=2, -2 2) differentiate: y=ln(6x^2 - 3x + 1) 1/(6x^2 - 3x + 1) * 12x-3 3)
