Gravitational force The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects of mass \(M\) and \(m\) is given by \(F(x)=-\frac{G M m}{x^{2}},\) where \(x\) is the distance between the centers of mass of the objects and \(G=6.7 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}^{2} / \mathrm{kg}^{2}\) is the gravitational constant (N stands for newton, the unit of force; the negative sign indicates an attractive force). a. Find the instantaneous rate of change of the force with respect to the distance between the objects. b. For two identical objects of mass \(M=m=0.1 \mathrm{kg},\) what is the instantaneous rate of change of the force at a separation of \(x=0.01 \mathrm{m} ?\) c. Does the instantaneous rate of change of the force increase or decrease with the separation? Explain.
Let $$g(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{cl} \frac{1-\cos x}{2 x} & \text { if } x \neq 0 \\ a & \text { if } x=0 \end{array}\right.$$ For what values of \(a\) is \(g\) continuous?
Special Quotient Rule In general, the derivative of a quotient is not the quotient of the derivatives. Find nonconstant functions \(f\) and \(g\) such that the derivative of \(f / g\) equals \(f^{\prime} / g^{\prime}\).
Use the following table to find the given derivatives. $$\begin{array}{llllll} x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline f(x) & 5 & 4 & 3 & 2 & 1 \\ f^{\prime}(x) & 3 & 5 & 2 & 1 & 4 \\ g(x) & 4 & 2 & 5 & 3 & 1 \\ g^{\prime}(x) & 2 & 4 & 3 & 1 & 5 \end{array}$$ $$\left.\frac{d}{d x}\left[\frac{x f(x)}{g(x)}\right]\right|_{x=4}$$
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 \(n \geq 1\)
