Q. Given the function y=−545x4, find dxdy. Express your answer in radical form without using negative exponents, simplifying all fractions.Answer: dxdy=
Given function: We are given the function y=−545(x4), and we need to find its derivative with respect to x, denoted as dxdy. We will use the power rule for differentiation, which states that the derivative of xn with respect to x is n⋅xn−1.
Rewrite function: First, let's rewrite the function to make it easier to differentiate. The function is y=−545(x4). We can pull out the constants and the radical to simplify the differentiation process.y=−54×5×x4
Apply power rule: Now, we apply the power rule to the x4 term. The derivative of x4 with respect to x is 4⋅x4−1 or 4⋅x3. dxdy=−54⋅5⋅4⋅x3
Simplify constants: Next, we simplify the expression by multiplying the constants together. dxdy=−516×5×x3
Final expression: Finally, we express the answer in radical form without using negative exponents, simplifying all fractions. The expression is already in the correct form, so no further simplification is needed. dxdy=−5165⋅x3
