42. f (x) = 32x

f (x) = 32x
f ′ (x) = (ln 3) 32x ⋅ 2
= (2 ln 3) 32x

f ′ (x) = (2 ln 3) 32x

44. y = 72x−1

y = 72x−1
y ′ = (ln 7) 72x−1 ⋅ 2
= (2 ln 7) 72x−1

y ′ = (2 ln 7) 72x−1

46. y = x (6−2x )

y = x (6−2x )
y ′ = 1 (6−2x ) + x ((ln 6) 6−2x ⋅ −2)
= 6−2x + (−2x ln 6)6−2x
= 6−2x (1 − 2x ln 6)

y ′ = 6−2x (1 − 2x ln 6)

50. g(α) = 5−α/2 sin(2α)

g(α) = 5−α/2 sin(2α)

g ′ (α) = ((ln 5)5−α/2 ⋅ − 21 ) sin(2α) + (5−α/2 ) (2 cos(2α))
= (5−α/2 ) (2 cos(2α)) − ( 12 ln 5) 5−α/2 sin(2α)

g ′ (α) = (5−α/2 ) (2 cos(2α)) − ( 12 ln 5) 5−α/2 sin(2α)
