Derivatives of f(x) = u |
|
Considering f(x) = (2 - 5x)3, find f'(x) Let’s re-write the function as follows: y = (-5x + 2)3 Let's consider the function u = -5x + 2 u' = -5 We know that the derivative of un, f'(u) = nun-1du/dx. Therefore: un = (-5x + 2)3 (un)' = nun-1u' = 3(-5x + 2)2(-5) = -15(-5x + 2)2 Considering f(x) = (7 - 2x3)-4, find f'(x) Let’s re-write the function as follows: y = (-2x3 + 7)-4 Let's consider the function u as follows u = -2x3 + 7 u' = -6x2 Let's consider the function u as follows f = u-4 We know that the derivative of un, f'(u) = nun-1du/dx. Therefore: un = (-2x3 + 7)-4 (un)' = nun-1u' = -4(-2x3 + 7)-5(-6x2) = -24x2(7 - 2x3)-5
Let's consider u = 4x - 7 u' = 4 Remember the formula to find the derivative of the inverse of a function:
Let's consider u = x - 1 u' = 1 And let's consider v = x + 1 v' = 1 Remember the formula to find the derivative of the division of two functions:
Let’s re-write the function as follows: y = (2x + 1)-3 Let's consider the function u = 2x + 1 u' = 2 We know that the derivative of un, f'(u) = nun-1du/dx. Therefore: un = (2x + 1)-3 (un)' = nun-1u' = -3(2x + 1)-4(2) = -6(2x + 1)-4
