Given the equation 0=5x^2+3xy-y^3 find the value of dy/dx at the point (-2,2)

To answer this we will use implicit differentiation with respect to x. So start by differentiating each term. On the left hand side 0 differentiates to 0. On the right hand side 5x 2 differentiates to 10x. B...

Let f(x)=e^x sin(x^2). Find f'(x)

Since f(x) is a product of the two functions e^x and sin(x^2), we can use the product rule which states that if f(x)=g(x)h(x), then f'(x)=g'(x)h(x)+g(x)h'(x). Let g(x)=e^x and h(x)=sin(x^2). Since the differ...

differentiate ln( x^2 )

ln is the natural log. The thing to remember with differentiating natural log is the simple formula U'/U. The U is whatever is in the brackets. This means we differentiate X^2 and divide it by X^2. X^2 diffe...
