Differentiation
- If \(y=x^x\), then \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) at \(x=e\) is Answer: B. 2e^e dy/dx=x^x(1+ln x) ; at x=e : e^e(1+1)=2e^e . 1
- If \(x=a\cos^3t\) and \(y=a\sin^3t\), then \(\frac{dy}{dx}=\) Answer: A. -tan t dy/dx=3asin²tcos t/-3acos²tsin t=-tan t . 1
- If \(x^2+y^2=25\), then \(\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}\) at the point \((3,4)\) is Answer: D. -25/64 y'=-x/y=-3/4 ; y''=-y-xy'/y²=-4+9/4/16=-25/64 . 1
