Mathematics Question on Limits and derivations
Find the derivative of the following functions (it is to be understood that a, b, c, d, p, q, r and s are fixed nonzero constants and m and n are integers): ax+bpx2+qx+r
Answer
=(px2+qx+r)2−apx−2bpx+ar−bq
Let f (x)= ax+bpx2+qx+r
By quotient rule,
f'(x)= (ax+b)dxd(px2+qx+r)- (px2 +qx+r)\frac{d}{dx}$$\frac{(ax+b)}{(ax+b)^2}
=(ax+b)(2px + q) -(px2+qx+r)(ax+b)2(a)
=(ax+b)2−apx2+2bpx+bq−ar
