Calculus of one variable Let y = axb‚ where a and b are numbers‚ with b different from zero. The derivative of y with respect to x is dy/dx = abxb-1 Examples: y = 2x7‚ dy/dx = 2*7x7-1 = 14x6 y = 5x0.3‚ dy/dx = 5*0.3*x0.3-1 = 1.5x-0.7 Exercises: Calculate dy/dx a) y= 3x2 b) y = 12x0

grade I was not a big fan of math. I actually thought that I wasn’t very good at math and I didn’t try all that hard in it. Once my teacher actually started to teach us in my math class I still thought it was very hard. My teacher gave lots of notes and I didn’t take them copiously. I didn’t really take my notes because I thought it wouldn’t be important for me to learn. After my teacher showed the notes‚ she handed out class work and I didn’t know how to do it. I got help from my friend but I didn’t

When I grow up I want to be a restaurant owner/ chef. I can think of many reasons to use math while owning a restaurant. First of‚ I would have to count the money I make. Then I would have to add up all the expenses my restaurant has like water‚ gas‚ and electricity. Next‚ I would have to take inventory‚ which is counting how many items I’ve sold compared to the amount of money I’ve made compared to the amount of that item I have left. I also have to count all the food I have left over that way

Math is not my best subject. I would go as far to say that at times‚ I HATE MATH. Don’t get me wrong‚ I use math every day. At work‚ I have to turn fractions into decimals. I can figure out my change at the store. I am even getting through this Stats class. I just wish I knew exactly why I don’t like math. It might be because it seems like such a foreign language to me. I can remember when I started learning math. I used to sit in my class and use my chisel and rock slate to carve the numbers
