Suppose your graphing calculator has two functions, one called sin \(x,\) which calculates the sine of \(x\) when \(x\) is in radians, and the other called \(s(x),\) which calculates the sine of \(x\) when \(x\) is in degrees. a. Explain why \(s(x)=\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{180} x\right)\) b. Evaluate \(\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{s(x)}{x} .\) Verify your answer by estimating the limit on your calculator.
Graphing with inverse trigonometric functions a. Graph the function \(f(x)=\frac{\tan ^{-1} x}{x^{2}+1}\) b. Compute and graph \(f^{\prime}\) and determine (perhaps approximately) the points at which \(f^{\prime}(x)=0\) c. Verify that the zeros of \(f^{\prime}\) correspond to points at which \(f\) has a horizontal tangent line.
Find \(f^{\prime}(x), f^{\prime \prime}(x),\) and \(f^{\prime \prime \prime}(x)\) \(f(x)=\frac{1}{x}\)
One of the Leibniz Rules One of several Leibniz Rules in calculus deals with higher-order derivatives of products. Let \((f g)^{(n)}\) denote the \(n\) th derivative of the product \(f g,\) for \(n \geq 1\) a. Prove that \((f g)^{(2)}=f^{\prime \prime} g+2 f^{\prime} g^{\prime}+f g^{\prime \prime}\) b. Prove that, in general,$$(f g)^{(n)}=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\left(\begin{array}{l} n \\\k\end{array}\right) f^{(k)} g^{(n-k)}$$ where \(\left(\begin{array}{l}n \\\ k\end{array}\right)=\frac{n !}{k !(n-k) !}\) are the binomial coefficients. c. Compare the result of (b) to the expansion of \((a+b)^{n}\).
Compute the derivative of the following functions. \(h(x)=\frac{(x+1)}{x^{2} e^{x}}\)
