Differentiate the function: y = sin(x^2)*ln(5x)

We are tasked with differentiating y = sin(x 2 ) ln(5x) This function is actually a product of the functions: sin(x 2 ) and ln(5x) Therefore the product rule will be required. First let's calculate the deriv...

Let f(x) and g(x) be two odd functions defined for all real values of x. Given that s(x)=f(x)+g(x), prove that s(x) is also an odd function.

We recall that a function f(x) is said to be an odd function when f(-x)=-f(x) . We are told that f(x) and g(x) are odd functions, so we know from the above definition that: 1. f(-x)=-f(x) 2. g(-x)=-g(x) Solu...

A pot of water is heated to 100C and then placed in a room at a temperature of 18C. After 5 minutes, the pan temperature falls by 20C. Find the temperature after 10minutes.

(The rate at which the temperature of a body falls is proportional to the difference between the body temperature and the room temperature) - this would be given in the question. This is a typical ordinary d...
