If they worked for k hours, the amount of work done would be \mathbf{ \dfrac{k(x+y)}{xy}}hours.

<h3>How do we determine the job done using algebraic expressions?</h3>

Algebraic expression involves the use of variables and their arithmetic operations.

Given that:

  • Mr. Inwood does a job in x hours, while
  • Mr. Lui can do it in y hours

If we have a function denoted by k (hours) indicating the work they both can do together. Then we can conclude that they can both work for:

\mathbf{=\dfrac{k}{x}+\dfrac{k}{y}}

\mathbf{ \dfrac{k(x+y)}{xy}}

Find the derivative.
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Using either method, we obtain:  t^\frac{3}{8}

Step-by-step explanation:

a) By evaluating the integral:

 \frac{d}{dt} \int\limits^t_0 {\sqrt[8]{u^3} } \, du

The integral itself can be evaluated by writing the root and exponent of the variable u as:   \sqrt[8]{u^3} =u^{\frac{3}{8}

Then, an antiderivative of this is: \frac{8}{11} u^\frac{3+8}{8} =\frac{8}{11} u^\frac{11}{8}

which evaluated between the limits of integration gives:

\frac{8}{11} t^\frac{11}{8}-\frac{8}{11} 0^\frac{11}{8}=\frac{8}{11} t^\frac{11}{8}

and now the derivative of this expression with respect to "t" is:

\frac{d}{dt} (\frac{8}{11} t^\frac{11}{8})=\frac{8}{11}\,*\,\frac{11}{8}\,t^\frac{3}{8}=t^\frac{3}{8}

b) by differentiating the integral directly: We use Part 1 of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus which states:

"If f is continuous on [a,b] then

g(x)=\int\limits^x_a {f(t)} \, dt

is continuous on [a,b], differentiable on (a,b) and  g'(x)=f(x)

Since this this function u^{\frac{3}{8} is continuous starting at zero, and differentiable on values larger than zero, then we can apply the theorem. That means:

\frac{d}{dt} \int\limits^t_0 {u^\frac{3}{8} } } \, du=t^\frac{3}{8}
