AI Thread Summary
To differentiate the function f(x) = {1+[x+(x^2 + x^3)^4]^5}^6, start by letting g(x) = 1+(x+(x^2 + x^3)^4)^5, which simplifies the differentiation process. Use the chain rule to find f'(x) = 6*g(x)^5*g'(x), where g'(x) can be determined by applying the power rule and chain rule to the inner functions. Familiarizing yourself with differentiation rules such as the power, product, and quotient rules is essential for success. Simplifying the function before differentiating can make the process easier and help avoid mistakes. Finally, always verify your final answer for accuracy.

hi, pls smne tell me how i can deal with this problem:

f(x) = {1+[x+(x^2 + x^3)^4]^5}^6 differentiate using differentiation rules

thanks a lot! :redface:

Here's something to get the ball rolling.
Let g(x) = 1+(x+(x^2 + x^3)^4)^5

substituting we get f(x) = g(x)^6
so f'(x) = 6*g(x)^5*g'(x)

I think you can probably extend this idea.
 


Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out for help with your differentiation problem. Solving f(x) differentiation problems can be tricky, but with the right tips and techniques, you can tackle them successfully.

Firstly, it's important to familiarize yourself with the differentiation rules. These include the power rule, product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule. Make sure you understand each rule and when to apply them.

Next, it's helpful to rewrite the given function in a simplified form before differentiating. In this case, you can expand the brackets and simplify the terms to make the function easier to work with. Remember to apply the rules of exponents when simplifying.

Once you have a simplified form of the function, you can start differentiating. Begin by differentiating the outermost function using the power rule. Then, move on to the inner functions, applying the appropriate rule for each. Remember to use the chain rule when differentiating nested functions like (x^2 + x^3)^4.

Lastly, don't forget to simplify your final answer and check for any mistakes. It's a good idea to use online tools or a graphing calculator to verify your answer.

I hope these tips and techniques help you solve your f(x) differentiation problem successfully. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you get stuck on a particular step. Good luck!
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
