Differentiate term by term: d/dt [A(t)] = -sin(t) + (1/2)(1 - sin(t))^(-1/2) * (-cos(t)) = -sin(t) - (cos(t)/(2√(1 - sin(t)))).
To check the existence of lim x→2 h(x), evaluate from left and right. Neither side is given in piecewise, implying straight f(2)=0 from √(4-x²). Hence, as h is continuous there, lim x→2 h(x) = 0.
Divide each term by x⁴, the highest power in the denominator. The expression becomes (3 + (7/x) - (3/x³) - (16/x⁴)) / ((1/x) + 4 + (7/x⁴) - (2/x³)). As x approaches -∞, terms involving 1/xⁿ where n ≥ 1 tend towards zero. Thus, the limit becomes 3/4.
Calculate the derivatives successively: The first derivative is f'(x) = -4e^(1 - 4x) + 2. The second derivative is f''(x) = 16e^(1-4x). The third derivative is f'''(x) = -64e^(1 - 4x).
The domain of f(x) = 2 + x is all real numbers because there is no restriction on variable x. Its range is also all real numbers as the function can output any real number. For g(x) = x², the domain is also all real numbers because x can take any value, but the range is only non-negative real numbers [0, ∞) since square of any real number cannot be negative. For h(x) = √(4 - x), the domain consists of x ≤ 4, as the expression under the square root sign must be non-negative. The range is [0, 2), as 0 is the minimum value when x = 4 and 2 is the maximum value when x = 0.
Calculate the initial volume V using V = πr²h with r = 4 cm and h = 15 cm. The change in radius due to insulation is dr = 0.001 cm. Estimate the change in volume using dV = 2πrh dr, which gives dV ≈ 2π(4)(15)(0.001) = 0.12π cm³, approximately 0.377 cm³.
Take the natural log of both sides: ln(y) = x²ln(sin x). Differentiate implicitly: (1/y)(dy/dx) = 2xln(sin x) + (x²/sin x)cos x. Therefore, dy/dx = y[2xln(sin x) + x²cot x] = (sin x)^(x²)[2xln(sin x) + x²cot x].
The function f(x) is not continuous at x = -2. At x = -2, the left-hand limit lim x→-2⁻ f(x) = x² + 1 = 5, while the right-hand limit lim x→-2⁺ f(x) = √(4 - x²) = √0 = 0. The value of the function at x = -2, f(-2) = 5, does not match the right-hand limit at this point. This mismatch indicates a jump discontinuity at x = -2.
First, find the derivative f'(x) = 3x²/x + 6xln(x) = 3x + 6xln(x) = 3x(1 + 2ln(x)). At x = 1, f'(1) = 3(1 + 2ln(1)) = 3. The point on the curve when x = 1 is (1, f(1)) = (1, 0). The equation of the tangent line is y - 0 = 3(x - 1) or y = 3x - 3.
The composite function (g∘f)(x) is g(f(x)) = g(2 + x) = (2 + x)². To determine its domain, consider the domains of both functions involved. Since f(x) has a domain of all real numbers and g(x) also accepts all real numbers as inputs, the domain of the composite function is all real numbers, (-∞, ∞).
