Transcribed Image Text:Both Newton and Leibniz were satisfied that their calculus provided answers
that agreed with what was known at the time. For exampled (r) = d (rr) =
I dr+rdx
3a2 dr, results that were essentially derived by others in different ways.
= 2x dæ and d () = d (x²x) = r² dr+xd (r²) = 2² +x (2x dr) =

Problem 14.
(a) Use Leibniz's product rule d (ru) = rdv+v dr to show that if n is a positive
integer then d (r") = nx"-1

(c) Use the quotient rule to show that if n is a positive integer, then

Leibniz also provided applications of his calculus to prove its worth. As an
example he derived Snell's Law of Refraction from his calculus rules as follows.
Given that light travels through air at a speed of v, and travels through
water at a speed of v, the problem is to find the fastest path from point A to
point B.
