Really struggling on these 2 questions for a Maths assignment, I've got to find dy/dx. Could anyone help me with the working out and answers please?

a) y=3sin(4x)-5+5cos(x/3)+4x

b) dy/dx=4cos(2x)+6 (given that y(0)=7)

I have moved this topic to the Calculus sub-forum, as it involves differentiation and integration.

Let's begin with the first problem. I am assuming you know the following rules:

a) \(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(\sin(u(x)))=\cos(u)\frac{du}{dx}\)

b) \(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(\cos(u(x)))=-\sin(u)\frac{du}{dx}\)

c) \(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(kx^n)=knx^{n-1}\)

Can you apply these appropriately to each term?

If You have a differential equation written in the form...

$$f(y)\ dy = g(x)\ dx\ (1)$$

... F(*) is any primitive of f(*) and G(*) any primitive of g(*), then the solution is in the form...

$$F(y) = G(x) + c\ (2)$$

... where c is an arbitrary constant. Can Your equation be written in the form (1) and how?...

Kind regards

If $F'=f$, then $F$ is usually called an antiderivative, or indefinite integral, of $f$ in English. However, Wikipedia gives "primitive integral" as another possible synonym.

Several months has gone by, and so I will now provide the solutions:

a) Differentiate the following with respect to $x$:

\(\displaystyle y=3\sin(4x)-5+5\cos\left(\frac{x}{3} \right)+4x\)

Differentiating term by term, and applying the chain rule as necessary, we find:

\(\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=3\cos(4x)\cdot4-0-5\sin\left(\frac{x}{3} \right)\cdot\frac{1}{3}+4\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=12\cos(4x)-\frac{5}{3}\sin\left(\frac{x}{3} \right)+4\)

b) Solve the following IVP:

\(\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=4\cos(2x)+6\) where \(\displaystyle y(0)=7\)

Switching dummy variables of integration, and using the initial values as the limits of integration, we may write:

\(\displaystyle \int_{y(0)}^{y(x)}\,du=2\int_0^x2\cos(2v)+3\,dv\)

\(\displaystyle y(x)-y(0)=2\left[\sin(2v)+3v \right]_0^x=2\left(\sin(2x)+3x \right)\)

And so the solution satisfying the given conditions is:

\(\displaystyle y(x)=2\left(\sin(2x)+3x \right)+7\)

FAQ: Differentiation and Integration?

What is differentiation?

Differentiation is a mathematical process used to calculate the rate at which one quantity changes with respect to another. It involves finding the derivative of a function, which represents the slope of the tangent line at a specific point on the function.

Why is differentiation important?

Differentiation is important because it allows us to analyze and understand the behavior of functions. It is used in various fields such as physics, economics, and engineering to model and solve real-world problems. It also helps us to find maximum and minimum values of a function, which is useful in optimization problems.

What is integration?

Integration is the inverse process of differentiation. It involves finding the area under a curve by summing up an infinite number of rectangles that approximate the curve. Integration is denoted by the symbol ∫ and is used to find the antiderivative of a function.

What are the different types of integration?

The two main types of integration are indefinite integration and definite integration. Indefinite integration involves finding the antiderivative of a function without specifying the limits of integration. Definite integration, on the other hand, involves finding the area under a curve between specific limits of integration.

How are differentiation and integration related?

Differentiation and integration are inverse operations of each other. This means that the derivative of a function is its integral and vice versa. In other words, the derivative of an antiderivative is the original function, and the integral of a derivative is the original function.
