What is the product rule in differentiation?

The product rule is a special rule that exists for differentiating products of two (or more) functions. It states: If y= uv , then dy/dx= u (d v /dx) + v (d u /dx) . So when we have a product to differentiat...

A particle of mass m moves from rest a time t=0, under the action of a variable force f(t) = A*t*exp(-B*t), where A,B are positive constants. Find the speed of the particle for large t, expressing the answer in terms of m, A, and B.

First, we need to find a formula for the speed of the particle, v, at a given time, t. Relate the speed, v, to the force f, using Newton's 2nd Law: f(t) = m dv/dt (remembering that acceleration is the time-d...
