How would you know the difference between a growth and a decay model? Be specific.

Growth is an increase in the population, while decay is a decrease. Specifically, if the k value is positive, we have growth, but if the k value is negative we have decay. 

300

What rules, if any, would we use to find the derivative of y = (x2)/(ex)

Quotient Rule Primarily, Power and Exponential rules

Alternatively, negative exponent rule would lead to Product Rule primarily, Power rule and Exponential (chain) rule.

y=2x4ln(x) 

y' = 8x3ln(x) + 2x3

300

Find the first derivative of..

y=e4xln(x)

y' = 4e4xln(x) + (e4x)/x

Find the first derivative of..

y= e-5x - ex

y' = -5e-5x - ex

y= 379.0272 grams

400

What rules, if any, would we use to find the derivative of y = (y2)(ln x)

Implicit differentiation, Product rule, Logarithm rule.

400

Find the exponential growth model for a population of fruit flies for which there are 25 flies initially and 400 flies after 4 days.

How fast is the population of fruit flies growing in exactly 4 days?

y = 25e0.6931t is the model.

Approximately 6,930 flies per day.

What rules, if any, would we use to find the derivative of y = x2(x2+1)5

Most likely: Product rule with Power and Chain rules

Potentially: Logarithmic differentiation, but all of ours will explicitly say so.
