Example Question #21 : How To Find Differential Functions

Find   

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:






Example Question #22 : How To Find Differential Functions

Differentiate:

 with respect to .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Apply the chain rule: differentiate the "outside" function first. Let .

Differentiate the "inside" function next.

Multiply these two functions to find the derivative of the original function.

Example Question #23 : How To Find Differential Functions

Evaluate 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To integrate the function, integrate each term of the function. e.g., integrate  by increasing the exponent by 1 integer and dividing the term by this new integer: .

Do this for the rest to get .

But remember that every integration requires an arbitrary constant, . Thus, the integral of the function is
