  1. Question 2
    s= 490t^2
    velocity = displacement/time

    ds/dt = (490*2) t
    = 980 t
    if t=10s

    then ds/dt = 980 (10)
    = 9800 cm/s
    = 98 m/s
    or

    displacement = ds/dt * time
    = 9800 *10
    = 98 000cm
    = 980 m

    velocity = displacement/ time
    = 980/10
    = 98 m/s

    y = (5x + 7)^12

    let m = 5x +7

    dm/dx = 5

    y = m^12

    dy/dm = 12m^11

    dy/dx = dm/dx * dy/dm

    = 5 * 12(5x+7)^11

    let m = x^2 + 3

    dm/dx = 2x

    y = m^5

    dy/dm = 5m^4

    dy/dx = dm/dx * dy/dm

    = 2x * 5(x^2 + 3)^4

    y = (4x^2 - x)^1/2

    let m = 4x^2 - x

    dm/dx = 8x - 1

    y = m^1/2

    dy/dm = 1/2m^-1/2

    dy/dx = dm/dx * dy/dm

    = (8x-1) * 1/2(4x^2 - x)^-1/2

    let m = 2x^3 - 1

    dm/dx = 6x^2

    y = m^4

    dy/dm = 4m^3

    dy/dx = dm/dx * dy/dm

    = 6x^2 * 4(2x^3-1)^3

    let m = (4x^5 - 1)/(7x^3)

    dm/dx = 20x^4/21x^2

    y = m^4

    dy/dm = 4m^3

    dy/dx = dm/dx * dy/dm

    = 20x^4/21x^2 * 4(4x^5-1/7x^3)^3

  7. QUESTION 6
    y = (5x + 7)^12

    let u = 5x +7

    du/dx = 5

    y = U^12

    dy/du = 12u^11

    dy/dx = du/dx x dy/du

    = 5 x 12(5x+7)^11

    QUESTION 7
    let h = x^2 + 3 after diff.

    dh/dx of h = 2x

    y = h^5

    dy/dh = 5h^4

    dy/dx = dh/dx X dy/dh

    let Z = 4x^2 - x
    dz/dx = 8x - 1

    y = m^1/2
    dy/dz = 1/2z^-1/2

  9. Question 6

    y = (5x + 7)^12

    let S = 5x +7

    therfore
    dS/dx = 5
    y = S^12
    dy/dS = 12S^11
    dy/dx = dS/dx * dy/dS
    = 5 * 12(5x+7)^11


    Question 7

    y = (x^2+ 3)^5.
    let S = x^2 + 3

    Therefore
    dS/dx = 2x
    y = S^5
    dy/dS = 5S^4
    dy/dx = dS/dx * dy/dS
    = 2x * 5(x^2 + 3)^4


    Question 8

    y = (4x^2 - x)^1/2
    let S = 4x^2 - x

    Therefore
    dS/dx = 8x - 1
    y = S^1/2
    dy/dS = 1/2S^-1/2
    dy/dx = dS/dx * dy/dS
    = (8x-1) * 1/2(4x^2 - x)^-1/2

  11. When from the info. the equation would be
    f=1/√C
    You find for DF/DC and substitute the values. But for the other part i am not sure can anyone continue from here.

  12. question 1
    A stone is dropped into a pond, the ripples forming concentric circles which expand. At what rate is the area of one of these circles increasing when the radius is 4 m and increasing at the rate of 0.5 ms-1?

    A= πr^2
    dA/dR=2πr
    since r is increasing at 4
    dA/dR=2π4
    dA/dR=25.13
    the rate at which it is flowing is : 25.13*.5= 12.57

  14. i can start Q2. but i getting stuck..here's what i got :

    F = 1/k √C
    subs. ... 920 = 1/k √3.5
    k = 0.002

    so if...F = 1/k √C
    then, F = 1/k (C)^0.5
    so, F = k^-1 (c)^0.5..

    dont know what to do next lol...help?!

  15. Q6.

    y = (5x + 7)^12

    subs. m = 5x +7

    therfore
    dm/dx = 5
    rewrite : y = m^12
    so...dy/dm = 12m^11
    dy/dx = dy/dm x dm/dx
    hence,
    dy/dx = 12(5x+7)^11 x 5 or

    = 55(5x+7)^11

  16. Q7.

    y = (x^2+ 3)^5.
    let m = x^2 + 3

    Therefore
    dm/dx = 2x
    rewrite : y = m^5
    dy/dm = 5m^4
    dy/dx = dy/dm x dm/dx
    = 5(x^2 + 3)^4 x (2x) or
    = 10x (x^2 + 3)^4

  18. Q8.

    y = (4x^2 - x)^1/2
    let p = (4x^2 - x)

    Therefore
    dp/dx = 8x - 1
    rewrite : y = p^1/2
    dy/dp = 1/2p^-0.5
    dy/dx = dy/dp x dp/dx
    = 1/2(4x^2 - x)^-0.5 x (8x-1)

  19. Q9. y = (2x^3 - 1)^4

    therefore,
    let p = 2x^3 - 1

    dp/dx = 6x^2

    rewrite : y = p^4

    dy/dp = 4p^3

    dy/dx = dy/dp * dp/dx

    = 4(2x^3-1)^3 x (6x)^2 or
    = 24x^2 (2x^3-1)

  20. Q10. y =(4x^5 - 1/(7 x^ 3))^4

    let p = (4x^5 - 1)/(7x^3)
    therefore:
    dp/dx = 20x^4/21x^2
    rewrite:
    y = p^4

    dy/dp = 4p^3

    dy/dx = dp/dx x dy/dp

    dy/dx = (20x^4/21x^2) x 4(4x^5-1/7x^3)^3

  21. Q3.
    s= 490t^2
    so,

    ds/dt = (2 x 490)^2-1 t
    ds /dt = 980 t
    when t=10s

    ds/dt = 980 x (10)
    = 9800 cm/s or 98 m/s

  22. Q5. Find the derivative of the function
    y = x^1/4 - 2/x

    simplify..
    y = x^1/4 - 2x^-1
    hence,
    dy/dx = (1/4x^ -3/4) -2 or
    dy/dx = 0.25x^ -0.75 -2
