Suppose you forgot the Quotient Rule for calculating \(\frac{d}{d x}\left(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}\right) .\) Use the Chain Rule and Product Rule with the identity \(\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=f(x)(g(x))^{-1}\) to derive the Quotient Rule.
Savings plan Beginning at age \(30,\) a self-employed plumber saves \(\$ 250\) per month in a retirement account until he reaches age \(65 .\) The account offers \(6 \%\) interest, compounded monthly. The balance in the account after \(t\) years is given by \(A(t)=50,000\left(1.005^{12 t}-1\right)\) a. Compute the balance in the account after \(5,15,25,\) and 35 years. What is the average rate of change in the value of the account over the intervals \([5,15],[15,25],\) and [25,35]\(?\) b. Suppose the plumber started saving at age 25 instead of age 30\. Find the balance at age 65 (after 40 years of investing). c. Use the derivative \(d A / d t\) to explain the surprising result in part (b) and to explain this advice: Start saving for retirement as early as possible.
Prove the following identities and give the values of \(x\) for which they are true. $$\cos \left(2 \sin ^{-1} x\right)=1-2 x^{2}$$
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 \(\frac{d}{d x}\left(e^{2 x}(x-1)(x+3)\right)\)
General logarithmic and exponential derivatives Compute the following derivatives. Use logarithmic differentiation where appropriate. $$\frac{d}{d x}(\ln x)^{x^{2}}$$
