why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get greater while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller?

Because 3^2 = 9
When you do (⅓)^2 what you are really doing is
(1^2)/(3^2) = 1/9


If you have (⅔)^2 you do
(2^2)/(3^2) = 4/9

Fractions get smaller because the denominator is also being squared which makes the denominator get bigger and when the denominator is bigger, you are dividing by a larger number which gives you a smaller answer. Whereas when you raise a whole number to an exponent, only the numerator get bigger because the denominator is 1 and 1 raised to any exponent is still 1

3^2 = (3^2)/(1^2) = 9/1 = 9

Find the derivative of Y=2xcos2x​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Y' = -xsin(2x) + 2cos(2x)

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will need to use the product rule since you have two terms that contain the variable x.

The product rule is simply as follows:

The derivative of the function is the product of the first term times the derivative of the second term plus the derivative of the first term times the second term.

Note the derivative of 2x with respect to x, is 2.

Note the derivative of cos(2x) with respect to x is (-1/2) sin(2x).

With this in mind, let's find the derivative of our function with respect to x.

Y = 2xcos2x

Y = 2x * cos(2x)

Y' = 2x * (-1/2)sin(2x) + 2 * cos(2x)

Y' = (2x * -1 / 2) sin(2x) + 2 * cos(2x)

Y' = (-x)sin(2x) + 2cos(2x)

So the derivative of our function is Y' = -xsin(2x) + 2cos(2x) according to the application of the product rule.

Cheers.
