ENG 1001 Tutorial 7

1. Differentiate the following functions:

ln x
(a) f ( x) = (b) f ( x) = x ln x
x
x 
(c) f ( x) = log10   (d) f ( x) = [ln (sin x )]3
 x −1
1
(e) f (t ) = ln (t + ln t ) (f) f (u ) = u ln u

(g) f ( x) = (sin x )
cos x
(h) f ( x) = x cos −1 x − 1 − x 2
 cos x 
(i) f ( x) = tan −1 (sin x ) (j) f ( x) = sin −1  
 1 + sin x 

2. Determine the derivative y’(x) implicitly:

(a) x 2 y 2 + 3 y = 4 x
(b) xe y − 3 y sin x = 1
2
(c) e x y − 3 y 2 + 2 = x 2 + 1
(d) xy − 4 y 2 = 12
dy
3. If x 2 + y 2 − 2 x − 6 y + 5 = 0 , find at x = 3, y = 2.
dx
4. Find the linear approximation to f(x) at x = x0 for the following:
(a) f ( x) = x , x0 = 1 for 1.2
1
(b) f ( x) = ( x + 1)3 , x0 = 0 for 3
1.2
(c) f ( x) = sin 3 x , x0 = 0 for sin(0.3)

5. A company estimates that f(x) thousand software games can be sold at the price of
$x as given in the table.
x 20 30 40
f(x) 18 14 12

Estimate the number of games that can be sold at (a) $24 and (b) $36.
