1. Determine the derivatives of the following functions
(a) y = (x² - 2)²
SAPIE
Illustrative Example: Determine the derivative of y = x² + 2x + 1
Solution:
y + Ay = (x + Ax)² + 2(x + Ax) + 1
Ax
Ay = (x + Ax)" + 2(x + Ax) + 1-y DUT y = x + 2x + 1
Ay = (x + Ax)² + 2(x + Ax) + 1 - (x² + 2x + 1)
Ay = x² + 2xAx + Ax² + 2x + 2Ax+1-x² - 2x - 1
Ay = 2xAx + Ax² + 24x
