sec^2 x

200

3x-arcsinx

derivative of 3x subtracted by derivative of arcsinx

dy/dx=3y/(2y-3x-cosy)

200

Another word for derivative

instantaneous slope

300

1/x

300

What is the overarching rule used to find the derivative without logarithmic differentiation? ((5x-50/x)(arctanx+2x))/(19sin(cos(x)))

Quotient Rule 

300

y=x3⋅e2x, find dy/dx. use implicit differentiation. 

dy/dx = 3xe2x+2x3e2x

300

Find (dy/dx) given x2y + xy2 =6 

(2xy + (y^2))/(x^2) +2xy

300

What is differentiation

The act of finding the derivative

400

d/dx cot^-1 x

-1/1+x^2

400

How can you solve this problem without using quotient rule: (x5-2x3-8x2)/x

Simplify then use the power rule.

400

y= sqrt(x)⋅ln(x). use logarithmic differentiation. 

dy/dx = (1+2ln(x))/2sqrt(x)

400

Find the tangent line at xsin2y = ycos2x 

at (pi/4, pi/2)

y- (pi/2) = 2(x- (pi/4))

400

Which one would you use the product rule for?

9(x+1) or x(x +1)

x(x+1)

500

d/dx csc^-1 x

-1/(|x|sqrt(x^2 -1))

500

How could you solve this problem without using quotient rule or logarithmic differentiation: sinx/3x2

Product Rule. Manipulate the equation to make it sinx(3x-2) then you can do the normal operations for product rule.

500

sin2x2y3= 3x3+1. Find dy/dx using implicit. 

dy/dx = (9x-4y3cos2x2y3)/(6xy2cos2x2y3)

500

Find the normal and tangent line at x2 +xy -y2=1

at (2,3)

Tangent: y-3= (7/4)(x-2)

Normal: y-3= (-4/7)(x-2)

500

Difference between implicit and explicit differentiation

Implicit: y is wrapped up into problem

Explicit: Gives us y clearly
