Let  \(y=\dfrac{x^2-x}{e^x}\).

Find and simplify \(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\).   (2 marks)

Show Answers Only

\(\dfrac{-x^2+3x-1}{e^x}\)

Show Worked Solution

\(\text{Using the quotient rule:}\)

\(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\) \(=\dfrac{e^x(2x-1)-(x^2-x)e^x}{(e^x)^2}\)
  \(=\dfrac{e^x(-x^2+3x-1)}{e^{2x}}\)
  \(=\dfrac{-x^2+3x-1}{e^x}\)

Let  `f(x) = (e^x)/((x^2-3))`.

Find `f^{′}(x)`.   (2 marks)

`{e^x(x^2-2x-3)}/{(x^2-3)^2}`

Show Worked Solution

`text(Let) \ \ u = e^x \ \ => \ \ u^{′} = e^x`

 `v = (x^2-3) \ \ => \ \ v^{′}= 2x`

`f′(x)` `= {e^x(x^2-3)-2x e^x}/{(x^2-3)^2}`
  `= {e^x(x^2-2x-3)}/{(x^2-3)^2}`

Let  `y = (2e^(2x)-1)/e^x`.

Find  `(dy)/(dx)`.   (2 marks)

Show Answers Only

`(dy)/(dx) = 2e^x + e^(-x)`

Show Worked Solution

`text(Method 1)`

`y` `= 2e^x-e^(-x)`
`(dy)/(dx)` `= 2e^x + e^(-x)`

  
`text(Method 2)`

`(dy)/(dx)` `= (4e^(2x) ⋅ e^x-(2e^(2x)-1) e^x)/(e^x)^2`
  `= (4e^(3x)-2e^(3x) + e^x)/e^(2x) `
  `= (2e^(2x) + 1)/e^x`

`(xe^x)/(x + 1)^2`

Show Worked Solution

`y = e^x/(x + 1)`

`text(Differentiate using quotient rule:)`

`u = e^x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ v = x + 1`

  1. Differentiate  `y = xe^(3x)`.   (1 mark)

  2. Hence find the exact value of  `int_0^2 e^(3x) (3 + 9x)\ dx`.   (2 marks)

Show Answers Only

a.    `e^(3x) (1 + 3x)`

b.    `6e^6`

Show Worked Solution

a.    `y = xe^(3x)`

`text(Using product rule:)`

`(dy)/(dx)= x · 3e^(3x) + 1 · e^(3x)= e^(3x) (1 + 3x)`
 

b.    `int_0^2 e^(3x) (3 + 9x)\ dx`

`= 3 int_0^2 e^(3x) (1 + 3x)\ dx`

`= 3 [x e^(3x)]_0^2`

`= 3 (2e^6-0)= 6e^6`
