2) What is the derivative of cos(x)?

Explanation

The derivative of cos(x) is -sin(x) according to the differentiation rules of trigonometric functions.

Submit
3) What is the cotangent of x?

Explanation

The cotangent of x is defined as the ratio of the cosine of x to the sine of x. Therefore, the correct answer is -.

Submit
4) Find the derivative of sec(x).

Explanation

The derivative of sec(x) is -sec(x)*tan(x). This can be found using the chain rule and the fact that the derivative of sec(x) is -sec(x)*tan(x).

Submit
5) What is the reciprocal of sine function?

Explanation

The reciprocal of sine function is cosecant and is commonly denoted as cscx in trigonometry.

Submit
6) What is the natural logarithm of u?

Explanation

The natural logarithm of u is denoted as ln(u) and represents the logarithm base e of u. Therefore, the correct answer is -.

Submit
7) What is the derivative of e^u?

Explanation

The derivative of e^u with respect to u is -e^u. This can be derived using the chain rule in calculus.

Submit
8) What is the inverse sine of a given value u divided by a?

Explanation

The correct answer for the inverse sine of u/a is - because arcsin function provides the angle that has a sine equal to u divided by a.

Submit
9) What is the inverse cosine function of x?

Explanation

The inverse cosine function, denoted as arccos(x) or cos^(-1)(x), gives the angle whose cosine is x. In this case, the correct answer is '-' as it represents the inverse cosine function.

Submit
10) What is the arctan(u/a)?

Explanation

The correct answer for the arctan(u/a) is '-' since it represents the inverse tangent function of u/a.

Submit
11) What is the inverse cotangent function of x?

Explanation

The inverse cotangent function, arccot(x), is the angle whose cotangent is equal to x. The correct answer is simply the notation for arccot(x).

Submit
12) What is the arcsec(u/a)?

Explanation

The correct answer for arcsec(u/a) is - because the arcsecant function returns the angle whose secant is the given value, in this case u/a.

Submit
13) What is the inverse cosecant function of x?

Explanation

The inverse cosecant function of x is denoted as arccsc(x), which gives the angle whose cosecant is x.

Submit
14) What is the derivative of a^u(x)?

Explanation

The correct derivative of a^u(x) is -.

Submit
15) What is the logarithmic form of a^x?

Explanation

The correct logarithmic form of a^x is log_{a}(x). This represents the power to which the base 'a' must be raised to obtain the value of 'x'.

Submit
16) What is the capital of France?

Explanation

Paris is the capital of France, while Berlin is the capital of Germany, Rome is the capital of Italy, and London is the capital of the United Kingdom.

Submit
17) What is the numerical value of sin(x)?

Explanation

The correct answer for the sine of x is the numerical value itself denoted as sin(x). The other options provided are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the value of sin(x).

Submit
18) What is the tangent of x?

Explanation

The tangent of x is defined as the ratio of the sine of x to the cosine of x, which makes the correct answer -.

Submit
19) What is the result of x^n?

Explanation

The correct answer is x^n which represents raising x to the power of n. The other options provided are not equivalent to x^n.
