To determine
To find: The differentiation of the function
h(t)=6t+16t−1.
Answer
The differentiation of the function
h(t)=6t+16t−1 is
h′(t)=−12(6t−1)2.
Explanation
Derivative rules:
(1) Quotient Rule: If
f(x) and
g(x) are both differentiable, then
ddx[f(x)g(x)]=g(x)ddx[f(x)]−f(x)ddx[g(x)][g(x)]2
(2) Power rule:
ddx(xn)=nxn−1
(3). Derivative of exponential function:
ddx(ex)=ex
Calculation:
The derivative of the function is
dhdt, which is obtained as follows,
dhdt=ddt(6t+16t−1)
Substitute
6t+1 for
f(x) and
6t−1 for
g(x) in the quotient rule (1),
dhdt=(6t−1)ddt(6t+1)−(6t+1)ddt(6t−1)[6t−1]2
Apply the derivative rule (3) and the power rule (2),
dhdt=(6t−1)(6ddt(t)+ddt(1))−(6t+1)(ddt(6t)−ddt(1))[6t−1]2=(6t−1)(6(1)+0)−(6t+1)(6(1)−0)[6t−1]2=(6t−1)6−(6t+1)6[6t−1]2=36t−6−36t−6[6t−1]2
Simplify further as,
36t−6−36t−6[6t−1]2=−12[6t−1]2=−12[6t−1]2
Therefore, the differentiation of the function
h(t)=6t+16t−1 is
h′(t)=−12(6t−1)2.
