Calculus of one variable Let y = axb‚ where a and b are numbers‚ with b different from zero. The derivative of y with respect to x is dy/dx = abxb-1 Examples: y = 2x7‚ dy/dx = 2*7x7-1 = 14x6 y = 5x0.3‚ dy/dx = 5*0.3*x0.3-1 = 1.5x-0.7 Exercises: Calculate dy/dx a) y= 3x2 b) y = 12x0.8 c) y

Jesus Toro-Sanchez 03/13/2013 Math 60 Chapter 4 Writing Assignment 1) Explain how to plot a point in the rectangular coordinate system. Give example with your explanation. a. In order to plot a point in the coordinate system‚ you will need the X coordinate as well as the Y coordinate. For example‚ the point (3‚5) can be plotted be going right on the X axis 3 points‚ and going up on the Y axis 5 points. Remember the opposite goes for negatives. 2) How many Points are needed to graph
