Math Problem Statement

Differentiate the function G(s)=5s^2/(7e^s+s)

Solution

To differentiate the function G(s)=5s27es+sG(s) = \frac{5s^2}{7e^s + s}, we will apply the quotient rule for differentiation, which is given by:

(f(s)g(s))=f(s)g(s)f(s)g(s)g(s)2\left( \frac{f(s)}{g(s)} \right)' = \frac{f'(s)g(s) - f(s)g'(s)}{g(s)^2}

Here, we identify:

  • f(s)=5s2f(s) = 5s^2
  • g(s)=7es+sg(s) = 7e^s + s

Step 1: Differentiate f(s)=5s2f(s) = 5s^2

f(s)=10sf'(s) = 10s

Step 2: Differentiate g(s)=7es+sg(s) = 7e^s + s

g(s)=7es+1g'(s) = 7e^s + 1

Step 3: Apply the quotient rule

G(s)=(10s)(7es+s)(5s2)(7es+1)(7es+s)2G'(s) = \frac{(10s)(7e^s + s) - (5s^2)(7e^s + 1)}{(7e^s + s)^2}

Now, let's simplify the numerator:

  1. Expand the first term: (10s)(7es+s)=70ses+10s2(10s)(7e^s + s) = 70se^s + 10s^2
  2. Expand the second term: (5s2)(7es+1)=35s2es+5s2(5s^2)(7e^s + 1) = 35s^2 e^s + 5s^2

So the numerator becomes: 70ses+10s235s2es5s270se^s + 10s^2 - 35s^2 e^s - 5s^2

Now simplify the numerator: (70ses35s2es)+(10s25s2)=35ses(2s)+5s2(70se^s - 35s^2 e^s) + (10s^2 - 5s^2) = 35se^s(2 - s) + 5s^2

Thus, the derivative is: G(s)=35ses(2s)+5s2(7es+s)2G'(s) = \frac{35se^s(2 - s) + 5s^2}{(7e^s + s)^2}

This is the derivative of the given function G(s)G(s).
