Math Problem Statement

Solve the following problems: 1. dy/dx = 3x^2 + 1; y = 4, x = 1 2. dy/dx = (2x + 1)^4; y = 6, x = 0 3. ds/dt = 3t^2 + 4t - 1; s = 4, t = 2

Solution

Let's break down and solve the given problems one by one:

Problem 1:

dydx=3x2+1withy=4whenx=1\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 + 1 \quad \text{with} \quad y = 4 \quad \text{when} \quad x = 1

  1. First, we need to find dydx\frac{dy}{dx} at x=1x = 1: dydx=3(1)2+1=3+1=4\frac{dy}{dx} = 3(1)^2 + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4

Thus, dydx=4\frac{dy}{dx} = 4 when x=1x = 1.

Problem 2:

dydx=(2x+1)4withy=6whenx=0\frac{dy}{dx} = (2x + 1)^4 \quad \text{with} \quad y = 6 \quad \text{when} \quad x = 0

  1. First, we compute dydx\frac{dy}{dx} at x=0x = 0: dydx=(2(0)+1)4=(1)4=1\frac{dy}{dx} = (2(0) + 1)^4 = (1)^4 = 1

Thus, dydx=1\frac{dy}{dx} = 1 when x=0x = 0.

Problem 3:

dsdt=3t2+4t1withs=4whent=2\frac{ds}{dt} = 3t^2 + 4t - 1 \quad \text{with} \quad s = 4 \quad \text{when} \quad t = 2

  1. First, calculate dsdt\frac{ds}{dt} at t=2t = 2: dsdt=3(2)2+4(2)1=3(4)+81=12+81=19\frac{ds}{dt} = 3(2)^2 + 4(2) - 1 = 3(4) + 8 - 1 = 12 + 8 - 1 = 19

Thus, dsdt=19\frac{ds}{dt} = 19 when t=2t = 2.

  2. What is the general solution for dydx=(2x+1)4\frac{dy}{dx} = (2x + 1)^4?
  3. Can you integrate dsdt=3t2+4t1\frac{ds}{dt} = 3t^2 + 4t - 1 to find s(t)s(t)?
  4. How would you apply initial conditions to determine particular solutions in these problems?
  5. How does implicit differentiation play a role in higher-dimensional functions?

Tip: Always apply initial conditions after integrating to solve for any constants of integration!
