Tutorial Exercise Differentiate the function. 5x + 3x + 7 y = Step 1 The function y = 5x2 + 3x + 7 is a quotient. It is important to remember that the derivative of a quotient f(x)/g(x) is not the quotient of the derivatives f'(x)/g'(x). Instead, we find the derivative by first simplifying the quotient. We can re-write it as follows. 5x + 3x + 7 5x2 3x 7 y = + x x Remembering that x=x1/2 and that 5x2 5x 3x 3x 7x Submit Skip (you cannot come back) xm, we will get the following. xm Tutorial Exercise Differentiate the function. 5x + 3x + 7 y = Step 1 The function y = 5x2 + 3x + 7 is a quotient.
