What is the first derivative of v(t)=(1+3^t)/3^t?

Given the function:


v(t) =
(1+3^t) /3^t


We need to find the first derivative
v'(t).


First we will rewrite the
fraction:


V(t) = 1/3^t  +
3^t/3^t


      = 3^-t  +
1


==> v(t) =(1/3^t) 
+1


Now we will
differentiate.


==> v'(t) = (1/3^t)' +
(1)'


               = (3^-t)' +
0


We will assume that u= -t ==> u' = -
1


==> v'(t) =
(3^u)'


==> v'(t) = 3^u * ln3 *
u'


               = 3^-t * ln3 *
-1


               = -ln3 /
3^t


But we know that -ln3 = ln3^-1 =
ln(1/3)


==> v'(t) = -ln(1/3) /
3^t

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
