MHB Differentiation and Integration?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on solving two calculus problems involving differentiation and integration. For the first equation, y=3sin(4x)-5+5cos(x/3)+4x, the derivative is calculated as dy/dx=12cos(4x)-5/3sin(x/3)+4. The second problem involves the initial value problem dy/dx=4cos(2x)+6 with y(0)=7, leading to the solution y(x)=2(sin(2x)+3x)+7. The conversation highlights the application of differentiation rules and integration techniques to arrive at these solutions. Overall, the thread provides detailed working out for both calculus problems.

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

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

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

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 $x$:

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

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

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

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

b) Solve the following IVP:

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

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

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

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

And so the solution satisfying the given conditions is:

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

Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
