d/dx(u^v) =

  1. (uv^v-1)dv/dx +(uv^v) du/dx

  2. (vu^v-1)du/dx +((Inu)u^v) dv/dx

  3. (uv^u-1)du/dv +((Inu)v^u) dx/dx

  4. (v^u-1)du/dv +((Inu)^u) dy/dx
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The derivative of a function in the form u^v is found using logarithmic differentiation or the identity u^v = e^(v ln u). The result is u^v * [v/u * du/dx + ln(u) * dv/dx], which rearranges to (v * u^(v-1))du/dx + (ln(u) * u^v)dv/dx.

The other options are incorrect - Ben Hur is about chariot racing, Julius Caesar is about political intrigue, and Rome is a TV series.

Multiple choice general knowledge math & puzzles

d/dx(1/u^n) = (^ is Power)

  1. -(v/u^n+1)dy/dx

  2. (n/n^u+1)dv/dx

  3. -(n/u^n+1)du/dx

  4. None of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Using the power rule for differentiation, d/dx(u^-n) = -n * u^(-n-1) * du/dx. This simplifies to -(n/u^(n+1)) * du/dx. The other options either use the wrong variable (v), incorrect power notation, or omit the chain rule component (du/dx).
