Explain why or why not Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. The derivative \(\frac{d}{d x}\left(e^{5}\right)\) equals \(5 \cdot e^{4}\) b. The Quotient Rule must be used to evaluate \(\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{x^{2}+3 x+2}{x}\right)\) c. \(\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{1}{x^{5}}\right)=\frac{1}{5 x^{4}}\) d. \(\frac{d^{n}}{d x^{n}}\left(e^{3 x}\right)=3^{n} \cdot e^{3 x},\) for any integer \(n \geq 1\)
Calculate the following derivatives using the Product Rule. $$\begin{array}{lll} \text { a. } \frac{d}{d x}\left(\sin ^{2} x\right) & \text { b. } \frac{d}{d x}\left(\sin ^{3} x\right) & \text { c. } \frac{d}{d x}\left(\sin ^{4} x\right) \end{array}$$ d. Based upon your answers to parts (a)-(c), make a conjecture about \(\frac{d}{d x}\left(\sin ^{n} x\right),\) where \(n\) is a positive integer. Then prove the result by induction.
Product Rule for three functions Assume that \(f, g,\) and \(h\) are differentiable at \(x\) a. Use the Product Rule (twice) to find a formula for \(\frac{d}{d x}(f(x) g(x) h(x))\) b. Use the formula in (a) to find \(\frac{d}{d x}\left(e^{2 x}(x-1)(x+3)\right)\)
An airliner passes over an airport at noon traveling \(500 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr}\) due west. At \(1: 00 \mathrm{p} . \mathrm{m} .,\) another airliner passes over the same airport at the same elevation traveling due north at \(550 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr} .\) Assuming both airliners maintain their (equal) elevations, how fast is the distance between them changing at 2: 30 p.m.?
Consider the following functions (on the given interval, if specified). Find the inverse function, express it as a function of \(x,\) and find the derivative of the inverse function. $$f(x)=3 x-4$$
