The question, in short

Differentiate y = e^(3x)(9x + 2)^(1/3) using calculus and evaluate the gradient at x = 1, giving the answer to 3 significant figures.

Summarised in our own words. Use the official paper for the exact wording and any diagrams.

Solution · 5 marks

  1. 1Product rule: dy/dx = 3e^(3x)(9x + 2)^(1/3) + e^(3x) × (1/3)(9)(9x + 2)^(−2/3)
  2. 2= 3e^(3x)(9x + 2)^(1/3) + 3e^(3x)(9x + 2)^(−2/3)
  3. 3At x = 1: 3e³(11)^(1/3) + 3e³(11)^(−2/3)
  4. 4= 134.0… + 12.18… = 146 (3 s.f.)
