  1. y = e ^(2x). Find dy/dx and d^2y/dx^2
  2. y = sin x . Find d^133 y /d x^133

  1. Question #1:
    Remember that the differential of "e^1" is e.

    With this in mind the approach to e^2x is of the same nature.

    First you must analyse the power, and determine whether or there is a coefficient of the unkown.

    If there is one, you must bring it in front of the exponential.

    Then you rewrite the exponent with this coefficient and you have successfully completed the first derivitive of the exponent.

    Solution: y = e^(2x)
    = 2e^(2x)

  2. Hey guys, for the second derivitive the steps are basically the same.

    Just repaet the steps from beginning to end and you will have the second differential.

  3. Wow!!! Question #2! Miss... or should i say mom, don't you think that is a bit wierd! lol.

    Nevertheless, i'll need to have pen and paper to attempt this question, i know there must be a simple approach!
