MATH 2413 Quiz #8 Solution

Differentiate.

2
1) (3 pts) 𝑓(𝑥 ) = 3
√𝑥 4 +5𝑥 −7

Rewrite: 𝑓(𝑥) = 2(𝑥 4 + 5 𝑥 − 7)−𝟏/𝟑

1
𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = 2 (− ) (𝑥 4 + 5𝑥 − 7)−4/3 (4𝑥 3 + 5𝑥 (ln 5))
3

2) (3 pts) 𝑓(𝑥 ) = cot 8 (5𝑥3 − 𝑥)

𝑓 ′ (𝑥) = 8 cot 7 (5𝑥 3 − 𝑥)(− csc 2 (5𝑥 3 − 𝑥))(15𝑥 2 − 1)

3) (4 pts) Find the equation of the tangent line to the graph of 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑥 + sin(3𝑥) + 7 at 𝑥 =
0.

𝑔(0) = 0 + 𝑠𝑖𝑛(3 ∙ 0) + 7 = sin(0) + 7 = 7

Point: (0, 7)

𝑔′ (𝑥) = 1 + cos(3𝑥) ∙ 3 = 1 + 3 cos(3𝑥)

So, 𝑚 = 𝑔′ (0) = 1 + 3 cos(3 ∙ 0) = 1 + 3 cos(0) = 3 + 1 = 4.

𝑚 = 4; (0,7) ---> 𝑦 = 4𝑥 + 7.
