Question

If 2y=x³ + 2x², find dy/dx when x=2.

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

$\boxed{\textsf{If }y=x^n,\: \textsf{then }\dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=nx^{n-1}}$

Given equation:

$2y=x^3+2x^2$

Isolate y by dividing both sides by 2:

$\implies y=\dfrac{1}{2}x^3+x^2$

Differentiate with respect to x:

$\implies \dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=3 \cdot \dfrac{1}{2}x^{3-1}+2 \cdot x^{2-1}$

$\implies \dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x}=\dfrac{3}{2}x^2+2x$

Finally, substitute x = 2 into the differentiated equation:

$\begin{aligned} \implies \dfrac{\text{d}y}{\text{d}x} & =\dfrac{3}{2}(2)^2+2(2)\\\\ & = \dfrac{3}{2}(4)+4\\\\ & = \dfrac{12}{2}+4\\\\ & = 6+4\\\\ & = 10\end{aligned}$
