Question

problem 1.
differentiate the following functions.
(a) 4pts. ( f(x)=\frac{x^{2} sin (x)}{1+x^{2}} )
(b) 4pts. ( f(x)=sin ^{2}(3 x) sin left(4 x^{5}
ight) )
(c) 4pts. ( f(x)=sqrt{1+sqrt{1+sqrt{1+x}}} )

Explanation:

Step1: Differentiate \(f(x)=\frac{x^{2}\sin(x)}{1 + x^{2}}\) using the quotient rule

The quotient rule states that if \(y=\frac{u}{v}\), then \(y^\prime=\frac{u^\prime v - uv^\prime}{v^{2}}\). Here, \(u = x^{2}\sin(x)\), \(u^\prime=2x\sin(x)+x^{2}\cos(x)\) (using the product rule \((uv)^\prime = u^\prime v+uv^\prime\) where \(u = x^{2}\), \(u^\prime=2x\) and \(v=\sin(x)\), \(v^\prime=\cos(x)\)), and \(v = 1 + x^{2}\), \(v^\prime=2x\).

Step2: Differentiate \(f(x)=\sin^{2}(3x)\sin(4x^{5})\) using the product rule and chain rule

The product rule: if \(y = u\cdot v\), then \(y^\prime=u^\prime v+uv^\prime\). For \(u=\sin^{2}(3x)\), using the chain rule \((u = g(h(x)))\), \(u^\prime = 2\sin(3x)\cos(3x)\cdot3=3\sin(6x)\) (since \(\sin(2\alpha)=2\sin\alpha\cos\alpha\)). For \(v=\sin(4x^{5})\), \(v^\prime=\cos(4x^{5})\cdot20x^{4}\)

Step3: Differentiate \(f(x)=\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1 + x}}}\) using the chain rule

Let \(y=\sqrt{u}\), \(u = 1+\sqrt{v}\), \(v=1+\sqrt{w}\), \(w = 1 + x\).

\(y^\prime=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{u}}\cdot u^\prime\), \(u^\prime=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{v}}\cdot v^\prime\), \(v^\prime=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{w}}\cdot w^\prime\), and \(w^\prime = 1\)

Answer:

(a) \(f^\prime(x)=\frac{2x\sin(x)+x^{2}\cos(x)+x^{4}\cos(x)}{(1 + x^{2})^{2}}\)

(b) \(f^\prime(x)=3\sin(6x)\sin(4x^{5})+20x^{4}\sin^{2}(3x)\cos(4x^{5})\)

(c) \(f^\prime(x)=\frac{1}{8\sqrt{1 + x}\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1 + x}}\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1+\sqrt{1 + x}}}}\)
