Having difficulty with algebra in calculus

Find intervals on which the function is: (a) increasing (b) decreasing (c) concave up (d) concave down find any (e) local extreme values and (f) inflection points for the equation y = x to the 4/5 power times(2-x)

Finding the surface area of the intersection of two cylinders.

Find the surface area of the solid that is the intersection of the two solid cylinders: x^2 + z^2 <= k^2 (x squared plus z squared is less than or equal to a constant squared) AND x^2 + y^2 <= k^2 (x squared plus y squared is less than or equal to the same constant squared) What is my f(x,y)? What are my limits of integr ...continues

Chain rule/derivatives HW

What did I do wrong? 1. Find f'(x) when f(x)= 5x(sinx + cosx) My answer: cos(4x^2)- sin(6x^2)/(5x^2) 2. Find f'(x) when f(x)= ((x^3) + 4x + 4))^2 My answer: 6x^2(x^3 + 4x + 4) 3. Find f'(x) when f(x)= (3x + 8)^-3 My answer: -6(3x + 8) 4. Find f'(x) when f(x)= Sq root of (5x + 8) My answer: x/5x + 8 5. Find f'(x) when f( ...continues

Calculating rates of separation for related rates.

Northbound ship A leaves the harbour at 10:00 with a speed of 12km/h. Westbound ship B leaves the same harbour at 10:30 with a speed of 16km/h. (a) How fast are the ships separating at 11:30? (b) When is their rate of separation 18.86 km/h

Euclidean space

Compute the distance from a point b = (1, 0, 0, 1)^T to a line which passes through two points (0, 1, 1, 0)^T and (0, 1, 0, 2)^T. Here ^T denotes the operation of transposition, i.e. the points are represented by column-vectors instead of row-vectors.

what happens when f(x)=e^x and x turns to infinity?

Find all solutions in radians.

When to use the Chain Rule

The key is whether or not you are plugging the result of a function into another function. The idea is shown by contrasting the procedures for taking the derivatives of sin(x^2) and x^2*sin(x).
