MTH 102 Assignment 1 – Complete

Solutions
Question 1: Differentiate the following
a) y = \frac{5x^3 - 2x + 4}{x} = 5x^2 - 2 + 4x^{-1}

dy/dx = 10x - \frac{4}{x^2}

b) y = (x^2 - 3x)^4

dy/dx = 4(x^2 - 3x)^3 (2x - 3)

c) y = \frac{\sin x + \cos x}{\tan x} = (\sin x + \cos x)\cot x

dy/dx = (\cos x - \sin x)\cot x + (\sin x + \cos x)(-\csc^2 x)

d) y = \log_3(x^2 + 4x) = \frac{\ln(x^2 + 4x)}{\ln 3}

dy/dx = \frac{2x + 4}{(x^2 + 4x)\ln 3}

e) y = \frac{x^2 + \cos x}{e^x}

dy/dx = \frac{2x - \sin x - x^2 - \cos x}{e^x}

Question 2: Implicit Differentiation


Given: 3x² + 2xy - y² = 4

Differentiate both sides:

6x + 2y + 2x(dy/dx) - 2y(dy/dx) = 0

Group dy/dx terms:

(2x - 2y)dy/dx = -6x - 2y

dy/dx = (-6x - 2y) / (2x - 2y)

Question 3: Logarithmic Differentiation


y = [(x² + 1)³ * √(x + 1)] / [e^x * (2x - 1)^5]

Take ln of both sides:

ln y = 3 ln(x² + 1) + ½ ln(x + 1) - x - 5 ln(2x - 1)


Differentiate:

1/y dy/dx = (6x)/(x² + 1) + 1/[2(x + 1)] - 1 - 10/(2x - 1)

So:

dy/dx = y[(6x)/(x² + 1) + 1/[2(x + 1)] - 1 - 10/(2x - 1)]

Question 4a: Slope of a Curve


y = x³ - 5x² + 6x + 2

dy/dx = 3x² - 10x + 6

At x = 2:

dy/dx = 3(2²) - 10(2) + 6 = -2

Question 4b: Turning Points


y = x³ + x² - x

dy/dx = 3x² + 2x - 1 = 0

Solving: x = 1/3, -1

At x = -1: y = 1; at x = 1/3: y = -5/27

Turning points are: (-1, 1) and (1/3, -5/27)
