Continuity and Differentiability

If x^2 + y^2 = 25, find dy/dx by implicit differentiation.

Reveal model answer + marking points▾

Differentiate both sides with respect to x, treating y as a function of x. d/dx(x^2) + d/dx(y^2) = d/dx(25). This gives 2x + 2y (dy/dx) = 0. Solving for dy/dx: 2y (dy/dx) = -2x, so dy/dx = -2x/(2y) = -x/y.

dy/dx = -x/y

Continuity and Differentiability

Differentiate y = x^x with respect to x using logarithmic differentiation.

Take the natural logarithm of both sides: ln y = ln(x^x) = x ln x. Now differentiate both sides with respect to x. On the left: (1/y)(dy/dx). On the right, using the product rule on x ln x: (1)(ln x) + x(1/x) = ln x + 1. So (1/y)(dy/dx) = ln x + 1, which gives dy/dx = y(ln x + 1) = x^x (1 + ln x).

dy/dx = x^x (1 + ln x)

Marking-scheme points

  • ✓Take log: ln y = x ln x
  • ✓Differentiate: (1/y)(dy/dx) = ln x + 1
  • ✓dy/dx = x^x (1 + ln x)

Continuity and Differentiability

If y = e^x sin x, find the second order derivative d2y/dx2.

Reveal model answer + marking points▾

First derivative using the product rule: dy/dx = e^x sin x + e^x cos x = e^x(sin x + cos x). Differentiate again using the product rule: d2y/dx2 = e^x(sin x + cos x) + e^x(cos x - sin x) = e^x(sin x + cos x + cos x - sin x) = e^x(2 cos x) = 2 e^x cos x.

d2y/dx2 = 2 e^x cos x

Marking-scheme points

  • ✓dy/dx = e^x(sin x + cos x)
  • ✓Differentiate again by product rule
  • ✓d2y/dx2 = 2 e^x cos x
