16. Find the derivative of the function given by
and hence
Ans. Given:
……….(i)





Putting the value of
from eq. (i),



= 8 x 15 = 120
17. Differentiate
in three ways mentioned below:
(i) by using product rule.
(ii) by expanding the product to obtain a single polynomial
(iii) by logarithmic differentiation.
Do they all give the same answer?
Ans. Let
……….(i)
(i)


……….(ii)
(ii) 


……….(iii)
(iii) 









[From eq. (i)]
……….(iv)
From eq. (ii), (iii) and (iv), we can say that value of
is same obtained by three different methods.
18. If
and
are functions of
then show that
in two ways – first by repeated application of product rule, second by logarithmic differentiation.
Ans. Given:
and
are functions of 
To prove: 
(i) By repeated application of product rule:
L.H.S. = 
= 
= 
= 
= 
= 
= R.H.S Hence proved.
(ii) By Logarithmic differentiation:
Let 





Putting
, we get

Hence proved.
