Practice Problems

Di¤erentiate each of the following functions. Assume that a is a constant. Please note that the inverse
function for sin x; (sometimes denoted by sin 1 x) is denoted by arcsin x here.

1.) f (x) = e3 x
8.) f (x) = (arcsin x)2 + e5 15.) f (x) = log3 x

2.) f (x) = a2 sin x 9.) f (x) = 10 sin 2x cos 2x 16.) f (x) = ln
3 + sin x
2 +1
3.) f (x) = 25x 10.) f (x) = x ln x x 17.) f (x) = arcsin (x6 )

4.) f (x) = ln (5x2 8x + 3) 11.) f (x) = arctan (10x) 18.) f (x) = 2sin( 5x)

sin x cos x x
5.) f (x) = + 12.) f (x) = ln (tan x) 19.) f (x) = esin x+cos x
