Differentiation Problems

*1. Differentiate (3x - 2)(x^2 - 4) w.r.t. x*

To differentiate this product, we'll use the product rule:


If y = u(x)v(x), then y' = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x)

Let u(x) = 3x - 2 and v(x) = x^2 - 4

u'(x) = 3 and v'(x) = 2x

y' = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x)

= 3(x^2 - 4) + (3x - 2)(2x)

= 3x^2 - 12 + 6x^2 - 4x

= 9x^2 - 4x - 12

*2. If y = (x^2 + 1) / (3x^2 + 2), find dy/dx*

To differentiate this quotient, we'll use the quotient rule:

If y = u(x) / v(x), then y' = (u'(x)v(x) - u(x)v'(x)) / v(x)^2

Let u(x) = x^2 + 1 and v(x) = 3x^2 + 2

u'(x) = 2x and v'(x) = 6x

y' = (u'(x)v(x) - u(x)v'(x)) / v(x)^2

= ((2x)(3x^2 + 2) - (x^2 + 1)(6x)) / (3x^2 + 2)^2

= (6x^3 + 4x - 6x^3 - 6x) / (3x^2 + 2)^2

= (-2x) / (3x^2 + 2)^2


*3. If y = 1/x, find dy/dx when Δx approaches 0*

To find the derivative, we'll use the limit definition:

dy/dx = lim(Δx → 0) [f(x + Δx) - f(x)] / Δx

For y = 1/x:

dy/dx = lim(Δx → 0) [1/(x + Δx) - 1/x] / Δx

To evaluate this limit, we can simplify the expression:

dy/dx = lim(Δx → 0) [(x - (x + Δx)) / (x(x + Δx))] / Δx

= lim(Δx → 0) (-Δx / (x(x + Δx))) / Δx

= lim(Δx → 0) (-1 / (x(x + Δx)))

= -1 / x^2

So, dy/dx = -1 / x^2.
