Assignment calculus,simultaneous equation and logarithm

In summary, the conversation is about a student asking for help with differentiating a function on a math website. There is some confusion with the notation and the correct solution is provided. The conversation also includes a request for help with two other math problems.

Homework Statement



Hi, teachers

I have been doing some work but I am confused.

Have you ever heard of this great math website www.wolframalpha.com (Google for maths).

This is one questions I done differantiate 3e^-4tsin(5t) and here is the link for the answers from

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=differantiate++3e^-4tsin(5t)


Although what I did is confusing to what the answers there?


This my solution

y=3e^-4t sin(5t)

u=3e^-4t v =sin(5t)

dy/dt=-12e^-4t dv/dt=-5cos(5t)


chain rule/product rule (1 of them)

ds/dt= 3e^-4t x 5cos(5t) + sin(5t) x -12e^-4t

factor

=3e^-4t (5cos(5t) - 4sin (5t))

Am I or the computer correct ?



Also while you are there? May you look at these two questions below


1) The table gives a firm’s monthly profits for their first few months of business. The numbers are rounded to the nearest £100.


Number of months after start up (x) 1 2 3 4 5 6
Profit for this month (£y) 500 800 1200 1900 3000 4800


The firm’s profits, £y, for the xth month after start up are modeled by

y = k x 10ax

where a and k are constants.

Plot this data on semi log paper to verify if this relationship is true.

Its about plotting semi-log paper but am confused. Can you give me guide on where to start answering the question.

Thanx agin



2)
Simultaneos question
y = x2 – 5x + 5 a



5x + 3y = 30. b



Find location of points collide?


Add a+b

x2 + 2y -25=0


quadratic formula use

x= -2+ square root(2^2-(4x1x(-25))/2 x = 4.09901

or

x= -2 - square root(2^2-(4x1x(-25))/2 x=-6.09


subsitue y etc

This my solution

y=3e^-4t sin(5t)

u=3e^-4t v =sin(5t)

dy/dt=-12e^-4t dv/dt=-5cos(5t)
The first derivative is du/dt, not dy/dt.
In the other derivative, you have a sign error.
maali5 said:
chain rule/product rule (1 of them)

ds/dt= 3e^-4t x 5cos(5t) + sin(5t) x -12e^-4t
Why ds/dt? Your original function is y, so the derivative would be dy/dt.

Also, don't use x for multiplication. If there happens to be a variable named x, you will confuse yourself.

This looks fine to me.

Please start a new thread with each of these problems.

Be sure to include the three parts of the homework template.

Hello maali5. Welcome to PF !

I used the link. What you asked WolframAlpha to differentiate, 3e^-4tsin(5t) , is equivalent to differentiating
[itex]\displaystyle\frac{3 t\sin(5 t)}{e^4}\,.[/itex]​
You need to put parentheses around the -4t if you want WolframAlpha to differentiate
[itex]\displaystyle\frac{3 \sin(5 t)}{e^{4t}}\,.[/itex]​
Write your function as 3e^(-4t)sin(5t) .

Thanx for your help. I got it.
 

Related to Assignment calculus,simultaneous equation and logarithm

1. What is calculus?

Calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of continuous change. It includes the concepts of derivatives and integrals, which are used to analyze the rate of change of a function and the area under a curve, respectively.

2. How is calculus used in real life?

Calculus has numerous practical applications in fields such as engineering, physics, economics, and statistics. It is used to model and analyze real-world phenomena, such as motion, growth, and optimization problems.

3. What is a simultaneous equation?

A simultaneous equation is a set of equations that are solved together to find the values of multiple unknown variables. These equations have multiple variables and can be solved using various methods, such as substitution, elimination, or graphing.

4. How do you solve a simultaneous equation?

To solve a simultaneous equation, you can use one of the following methods:

  • Substitution method: Solve one equation for one variable and substitute the result into the other equation.
  • Elimination method: Add or subtract the equations to eliminate one variable and then solve for the remaining variable.
  • Graphing method: Graph the equations on a coordinate plane and find the point of intersection, which represents the solution.

5. What is a logarithm?

A logarithm is the inverse operation of exponentiation. It is used to solve equations involving exponential functions and to express large numbers in a more manageable form. The logarithm of a number is the power to which a base must be raised to equal that number.
