3 0

9514 1404 393

Answer:

A. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

When you don't know if a number like 256 is a power of anything, it can work reasonably well to start by simply dividing by the factors you know.

The 8th root of 2^8 is 2, choice A.

Answer:

C. $\displaystyle \frac{cos(x)}{x} - ln(x)sin(x)$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Calculus

Differentiation

Derivative Rule [Product Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [f(x)g(x)]=f'(x)g(x) + g'(x)f(x)$

Trig Derivatives

Logarithmic Derivatives

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

$\displaystyle f(x) = ln(x)cos(x)$

Step 2: Differentiate

Derivative Rule [Product Rule]: $\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[ln(x)]cos(x) + ln(x)\frac{d}{dx}[cos(x)]$
Logarithmic Derivative: $\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{1}{x}cos(x) + ln(x)\frac{d}{dx}[cos(x)]$
Trig Derivative: $\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{1}{x}cos(x) + ln(x)[-sin(x)]$
Simplify: $\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{cos(x)}{x} - ln(x)sin(x)$
