Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

$\simplify{f(x) = ({a} + {b} * x) ^ {m} * e ^ ({n} * x)}$

You are told that $\simplify{Diff(f,x,1) = ({a} + {b} * x) ^ {m -1} * e ^ ({n} * x) * g(x)}$ , for a polynomial $g(x)$ .

You have to find $g(x)$ .

$g(x)=\;$ Unnamed gap

Advice

$f(x)$ is the product of the two functions $\simplify{({a} + {b}*x)^{m}}$ and $\simplify{e ^ ({n} * x)}$ , so we need to use the product rule.

Differentiating the first part, keeping the second half the same, gives the term: $\simplify{{m} *{ b} * ({a} + {b} * x) ^ {m -1}} \times \simplify{e ^ ({n} * x)}$ .

Note that that we needed the chain rule to do this differentiation.

Differentiating the second part, keeping the first half the same, gives the term: $\simplify{{n} * e ^ ({n} * x)} \times \simplify{({a} + {b}x)^{m}}$ .

Again, we needed the chain rule to do this differentiation.

Hence, $\simplify{Diff(f,x,1) = {m * b} * ({a} + {b} * x) ^ {m -1} * e ^ ({n} * x) + {n} * ({a} + {b} * x) ^ {m} * e ^ ({n} * x)}$ .

$= \simplify{({a} + {b} * x) ^ {m -1} * ({m * b + n * a} + {n * b} * x) * e ^ ({n} * x)}$ , (by doing some factorising)

Hence, $\simplify{g(x) = {m * b + n * a} + {n * b} * x}$ .
