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

Introduction Background Theory The usual equation for measuring electric current flowing through a series is I = V/R. The current flowing in a series is affected by the voltage and the resistor that is also creating the series. Electric current is a flow of electric charge through a conductive medium. These charge is in a form of moving electrons in a wire. The SI unit for electric current is ampere (A) and can be measured by using a device called ammeter. Change in temperature can change
