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.
Prove the following identities and give the values of \(x\) for which they are true. $$\tan \left(2 \tan ^{-1} x\right)=\frac{2 x}{1-x^{2}}$$
Given the function \(f,\) find the slope of the line tangent to the graph of \(f^{-1}\) at the specified point on the graph of \(f^{-1}\) . $$f(x)=-x^{2}+8 ;(7,1)$$
A port and a radar station are 2 mi apart on a straight shore running east and west. A ship leaves the port at noon traveling northeast at a rate of \(15 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr}\). If the ship maintains its speed and course, what is the rate of change of the tracking angle \(\theta\) between the shore and the line between the radar station and the ship at 12: 30 p.m.? (Hint: Use the Law of sines.)
Use any method to evaluate the derivative of the following functions. $$h(r)=\frac{2-r-\sqrt{r}}{r+1}$$
