Math 160. Test 2. (Harvey Fall 2005)

1-10. (7 points each) Compute the derivative and simplify.

f (x) = x

4 x − 2

f (x) = (x^2 + 4x + 5)(2x − 1)

f (x) = x x^2 − 1

f (x) = (^) (x (^3) + 2^1 x + 1) 4

f (x) = 4

x^3 + x + 1

f (x) = x^2 + 5

x^3

f (x) = x^ + 1 x − 2

f (x) = √ 3 1 x^3 + 8

f (x) =

x

f (x) = (x^4 + 3x)^21

11 (10 points). Compute d

(^3) y dx^3 for the function: y = x^3 + 3x^2 + 5x + 1

12 (10 points). The cost of manufacturing a particular product is given by the function

C(x) = 1000 − 45 x + x^3

The projected price-demand equation is

p(x) = 60 − x 10

(a) What is the marginal cost? (b) What is the marginal revenue? (c) What is the profit?

13 (10 points). Find the equation of the tangent line at the point (2, 2) to the curve:

x^2 + y^2 = y^3

Extra credit (5 points). We have seen, using the definition of the derivative, that (^) dxd (xn) = nxn−^1 for any integer n (except 0). Use implicit differentiation to show that this formula is true for any rational number n = p/q as well.

solutions

f ′(x) = x · 1 2

(4x − 2)−^1 /^2 · 4 + (4x − 2)^1 /^2

= √^2 x 4 x − 2

4 x − 2 =^2 x √^ + 4x^ −^2 4 x − 2

= √^6 x^ −^2 4 x − 2

f ′(x) = (x^2 + 4x + 5)(2) + (2x − 1)(2x + 4) = 2x^2 + 8x + 10 + 4x^2 + 6x − 4 = 6x^2 + 14x + 6

f ′(x) = (x

(^2) − 1) − x(2x) (x^2 − 1)^2

= −^1 −^ x

2 (x^2 − 1)^2

f ′(x) = −4(x^3 + 2x + 1)−^5 (3x^2 + 2) = −^12 x

(x^3 + 2x + 1)^5

f ′(x) =

4 (x

(^3) + x + 1)− 3 / (^4) (3x (^2) + 1) = 3 x^2 + 1 4(x^3 + x + 1)^3 /^4

Now plug back in for y and the rest is just simplification:

dy dx =^

pxp−^1 q

x

pq^ )q−^1 =^

pxp−^1 qx

pq−qp

= pq

x(p−1)−^

pqq−p^ ) = pq x

pqq− q− pqq−p

= p q

x

p−q q = p q

x

pq − 1 = nxn−^1
