Chapter 3: Q 35. (page 299)

Given that $u = u (t), v = v (t),$ and $w = w (t)$ are functions of $t$ and that $k$ is a constant, calculate the derivative $\frac{d f}{d t}$ of each function $f (t)$ . Your answers may involve $u, v, w,$ $\frac{d u}{d t}, \frac{d v}{d t}, \frac{d w}{d t}, k$ and/or $t .$
$f (t) = \frac{u t + w}{k}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The derivative is

$\frac{d f}{d t} = \frac{t}{k} \frac{d u}{d t} + \frac{u}{k} + \frac{1}{k} \frac{d v}{d t}$

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information

The function is

$f (t) = \frac{u t + w}{k}$

02

Step 2. Finding the derivative

The function is

$f (t) = \frac{u t + w}{k}$

Find derivative with respect to $t$

$\frac{d f}{d t} = \frac{d}{d t} (\frac{u t + w}{k})$

Take out constant from derivative

$\frac{d f}{d t} = \frac{1}{k} (\frac{d}{d t} (u t) + \frac{d}{d t} (w))$

Apply product rule of derivative

$\frac{d f}{d t} = \frac{1}{k} (t \frac{d u}{d t} + u \frac{d}{d t} (t) + \frac{d}{d t} (w)) \frac{d f}{d t} = \frac{1}{k} (t \frac{d u}{d t} + u (1) + \frac{d}{d t} (w)) \frac{d f}{d t} = \frac{t}{k} \frac{d u}{d t} + \frac{u}{k} + \frac{1}{k} \frac{d w}{d t}$

Most popular questions from this chapter

Use a sign chart for $f^{'}$ to determine the intervals on which each function $f$ is increasing or decreasing. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility.

$f (x) = x^{3} + 4 x^{2} + 4 x - 5$

Sketch careful, labeled graphs of each function f in Exercises 63–82 by hand, without consulting a calculator or graphing utility. As part of your work, make sign charts for the signs, roots, and undefined points of $f, f', a n d f'',$ and examine any relevant limits so that you can describe all key points and behaviors of f.

$f (x) = \frac{1}{{(x - 1)}^{2} (x - 2)}$

Last night at 6 p.m., Linda got up from her blue easy chair. She did not return to her easy chair until she sat down again at 8 p.m. Let s(t) be the distance between Linda and her easy chair t minutes after 6 p.m. last night.

(a) Sketch a possible graph of s(t), and describe what Linda did between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. according to your graph. (Questions to think about: Will Linda necessarily move in a continuous and differentiable way? What are good ranges for t and s?

(b) Use Rolle’s Theorem to show that at some point between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., Linda’s velocity v(t) with respect to the easy chair was zero. Find such a place on the graph of s(t).

Use a sign chart for $f^{'}$ to determine the intervals on which each function $f$ is increasing or decreasing. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility.

$f (x) = c o s^{2} (x)$

Find the critical points of f .Then use a graphing utility to determine whether f has a local minimum, a local maximum, or neither at each of these critical points.

$f (x) = 2^{1 - I n x}$
