Work through the odd-numbered problems 1-83. Once you have completed the problem set, check your answers.
So far we have emphasized derivatives of particular functions, but sometimes we want to look at the derivatives of a whole family of functions. In problems 49 –71, the letters A – D represent constants and the given formulas describe families of functions.
For problems 49-65, calculate .
In problems 67-71, (a) find ', (b) find the value(s) of
so that
, and (c) find
" Typically your answer in part (b) will contain As, Bs and (sometimes) Cs.
Use the given differentiation patterns to differentiate the composite functions in problems 73-83. We have not derived the derivatives for these functions (yet), but if you are handed the derivative pattern for a function then you should be able to take derivatives of a composition involving that function.
Given:
