1. Find the derivatives of each of these functions: (2 marks each)
1. y=ln (4 x2+4)
2. y=2 x4e5 x
3. y=25 x+7 (ln (5 x+1))
4. y=4 x3e5 x+x4
2. Use the process of implicit differentiation to find d yd x given that x3 eyy ex=0. (4 marks)
Implicit differentiation formula:

equation y=x2ex. Make sure that you include all steps, charts, and derivations
details. (10 marks)
Therefore, the function will have local minima at(0,0) and a local maxima at (2, 4/e^2)
Therefore, y=0 is the horizontal asymptote.

function y=(2 x+5)3 (5 x2-2 x)42 x+5. (6 marks)
First we must take the logarithm of both sides.
Now we must take the derivative of both sides.

function P=2501+4 e-0.01 y.
1. What was the initial population of the island? (2 marks)
2. How long did it take before the island had a population of 150? (2 marks)
3. After how many years was the population growing the fastest? (3 marks)
Population growth will be calculated using first derivative.
Population growth is fastest when using the second derivative.

if f’’(x) > 0 , than f(x) will be concave up
if f’’(x) < 0, than f(x) will be concave down
5. Give a possible explanation for the shape of the curve. (3 marks)

This study resource was

its population limit of 250. This is most likely the carrying capacity of the population. This
means, the island cannot hold any more people meaning it is a very small island that
can only fit 250 people and if you are to exceed that limit their will not be enough room
or resources for everyone. This is why the curve stops and shoots straight up. The
curve goes through the point 50 which I think is telling us that 50 people is the point
where the island becomes useful. Less than 50 people is not enough for the island.
