Math Problem Statement

Differentiate the following functions with respect to x: 1. y = 10x^3 + 8 2. y = 10x^2 - 4x - 8 3. y = 10x^0.5 + 4x^-1 + 8 4. y = 10x^2 + 4xz + 8

Solution

The image contains several calculus problems that ask for the derivatives of functions with respect to xx. Let's go through each one and find the derivatives:

  1. y=10x3+8y = 10x^3 + 8

    • The derivative of yy with respect to xx is: dydx=30x2\frac{dy}{dx} = 30x^2
  2. y=10x24x8y = 10x^2 - 4x - 8

    • The derivative of yy with respect to xx is: dydx=20x4\frac{dy}{dx} = 20x - 4
  3. y=10x0.5+4x1+8y = 10x^{0.5} + 4x^{-1} + 8

    • The derivative of yy with respect to xx is: dydx=5x0.54x2\frac{dy}{dx} = 5x^{-0.5} - 4x^{-2}
  4. y=10x2+4xz+8y = 10x^2 + 4xz + 8

    • Here, we treat zz as a constant, so the derivative of yy with respect to xx is: dydx=20x+4z\frac{dy}{dx} = 20x + 4z

If you would like more details or explanations, feel free to ask! Would you like to explore further? Here are some questions to extend the discussion:

  1. How do you find the derivative of a constant term?
  2. What happens if zz is treated as a variable instead of a constant in the last equation?
  3. Can you explain the power rule for differentiation?
  4. What are the rules for differentiating terms like x1x^{-1}?
  5. How would you approach higher-order derivatives (like second or third derivatives) for these functions?

Tip: Always remember that the derivative of a constant is zero!
