The first derivative is dy/dx = -sin(x) + 2cos(x). The second derivative is d²y/dx² = -cos(x) - 2sin(x). Substituting x = π/4 into the second derivative gives d²y/dx² = -(√2/2) - √2/2 .

Using the quotient rule for differentiation, the derivative dy/dx of y = x/(x + 1) at x = 1/4 is found to be -3 .

Taking the derivative with respect to time t gives dA/dt = 2πr(dr/dt). This involves applying the chain rule to differentiate A with respect to t assuming r is a function of t .

The derivative dy/dx of y = ln(sin(x)) uses the chain rule and is given by dy/dx = cot(x). Evaluating at x = 1 requires substituting sin(1), and the specific numerical evaluation leads to dy/dx = 1 .

The maximum position is determined by finding the critical points of the function x(t) = -t^2 + 4t + 4. Taking the derivative, setting it to zero, and solving, gives t = 2. Evaluating x at t = 2 gives a maximum position of 8 .

The derivative dy/dx is 3 - 1/x. Setting this equal to zero gives the critical point at x = 1/3. Hence, the derivative equals zero at this point .

The relationship between the rate of change of the surface area S = 4πr^2 of a sphere and the radius r is given by dS/dt = 8πr (dr/dt).

Using the product rule for differentiation, dy/dx = e^x * sin(x) + e^x * cos(x) = e^x(sin(x) + cos(x)).

First, you expand the expression to y = 2x^2 - x - 3. Then find the derivative dy/dx = 4x - 1. Setting dy/dx to zero gives x = 1/4, which is a critical point .

The rate of change of the circle's area A with respect to time t is expressed as dA/dt = 2πr(dr/dt).
