The definition of the first derivative of the function f (x) is
f ( x + x) f ( x)
f ' ( x) = lim
x 0 x
Solution
The correct answer is (B)
Solution
The correct answer is (C).
Solution
The correct answer is (B).
v = ln x
du
= 3x 2
dx
dv 1
=
dx x
Substituting into Equation (1),
dy 1
= x 3 + ln x 3x 2
dx x
= x + 3x 2 ln x
