    Is differentiation of y=6x3-1 is 18x3 true or false?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The differentiation of y=6x^3-1 is not equal to 18x^3. When we differentiate y=6x^3-1, the power rule states that the derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1). Therefore, the derivative of 6x^3 is 18x^2, not 18x^3.

    Differentiate y=5/x2

    • 5x2

    • -5x-3

    • -10x-3

    • 10x-3

    • Option 5

    Correct Answer
    A. -10x-3
    Explanation
    The given expression is y = 5/x^2. To differentiate this expression, we use the power rule of differentiation. The power rule states that when differentiating a function of the form f(x) = x^n, the derivative is given by f'(x) = nx^(n-1). Applying this rule, we differentiate y = 5/x^2 as follows:
    y' = (5)(-2)x^(-2-1) = -10x^(-3) = -10/x^3. Therefore, the correct answer is -10x-3.

    Differentiate y= -3x-5-10x+2

    • 3x5-10x

    • -3x-6+10

    • 15x-6-10

    • 15x-5-10

    Correct Answer
    A. 15x-6-10
    Explanation
    The given expression is a polynomial with two terms. To differentiate it, we can use the power rule, which states that the derivative of x^n is n*x^(n-1). Applying this rule to the first term, -3x, we get -3. For the second term, -10x, the derivative is -10. Therefore, the derivative of the given expression is 15x - 3 - 10, which simplifies to 15x - 6 - 10.

    Differentiate y=3x-4+6x-1

    • 12x-1

    • -4x-5+6x-1

    • 12x-5+6

    • -12x-5+6

    • Option 5

    Correct Answer
    A. -12x-5+6
    Explanation
    The given expression is y=3x-4+6x-1. We can simplify this expression by combining like terms. Combining 3x and 6x, we get 9x. Combining -4 and -1, we get -5. Therefore, the simplified expression is 9x - 5. The answer -12x-5+6 does not match the simplified expression, so it is not the correct answer.

    Differentiate y=5-13x2-4x3

    • 26x-12x

    • -26x-12x2

    • -13x2-12x

    • 26x2-12

    • Option 5

    Correct Answer
    A. -26x-12x2
    Explanation
    The given expression is y=5-13x^2-4x^3. To differentiate this expression, we take the derivative of each term. The derivative of 5 is 0, the derivative of -13x^2 is -26x, and the derivative of -4x^3 is -12x^2. Therefore, the differentiated expression is -26x-12x^2.

    Is differentiation of y=5x-2-12 is -10x-3 true or false?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The given expression y=5x-2-12 can be simplified as y=5x-14. Therefore, the correct answer -10x-3 is false.

    Differentiate y=4/x4

    • 4x-5

    • 4x5

    • 16x-5

    • -16x-5

    Correct Answer
    A. -16x-5
    Explanation
    The given expression is y = 4/x^4 - 4x - 5. To differentiate this expression, we can use the power rule for differentiation. The derivative of 4/x^4 is -16/x^5, the derivative of -4x is -4, and the derivative of -5 is 0. Combining these derivatives, we get -16/x^5 - 4. Simplifying further, we can rewrite this as -16x^-5 - 4, which is equivalent to -16/x^5 - 4. Therefore, the correct answer is -16x - 5.
