Question

(T/F) The derivative f'(a) is the instantaneous rate of change of y = f(x) with respect to x when x = a. (T/F) If'(x) > 0 on an interval, then f is increasing on that interval. (T/F) If y = e^2, then y' = 2e (T/F) If f and g are differentiable, then d/dx [f(x) + 2g(x) = d/dx (f(x)) + 2 d/dx(g(x)) (T/F) If f and g are differentiable, then d/dx [f(x) middot g(x)] = d/dx(f(x)) middot d/dx (g(x)) (T/F) If f and g are differentiable, then d/dx[f(g(x))] = f'(g'(x)) = f'(g'(x)) + g'(x) (T/F) If f is continuous at a, then f is differentiable at a. (T/F) d^2 y/dx^2 = (dy/dx)^2 (T/F) d/dx(ln 10) =1/10

Explanation / Answer

From the given question,

1. T derivative f'(a) is instatntaneous rate of change of f(x) at a.

2.T if f'(x) >0, slope is positive, so function is increasing.

3.F if y=e2, y'=0 as e2 is a constant.

4.T if y=f+2g then dy/dx= df/dx + 2 dg/dx

5. F if y=f.g then dy/dx=f dg/dx + g df/dx

6.F if y=f(g(x)) the y' = f'(g(x)) g'(x)

7.F not necessary. y=|x| is continous at 0, but not differentiable at 0.

8.F d2y/dx2= d/dx( dy/dx)

9.F d/dx(ln 10)= 0 as it isa constant.
