Velocity of falling body Refer to Exercise 95, which gives the position function for a falling body. Use m = 75 kg and k = 0.2.


a. Confirm that the BASE jumper’s velocity t seconds after jumping is v(t) = d'(t) = √(mg/k) tanh (√(kg/m) t).

7–28. Derivatives Evaluate the following derivatives.

d/dy (y^{sin y})

7–28. Derivatives Evaluate the following derivatives.

Velocity of falling body Refer to Exercise 95, which gives the position function for a falling body. Use m = 75 kg and k = 0.2.

c. How long does it take for the BASE jumper to reach a speed of 45 m/s (roughly 100 mi/hr)?

Theorem 7.8

Differentiate sinh⁻¹ x = ln (x + √(x² + 1)) to show that d/dx (sinh⁻¹ x) = 1 / √(x² + 1).

In Exercises 7–38, find the derivative of y with respect to x, t, or θ, as appropriate.

8. y = ln kx, k constant

In Exercises 7–38, find the derivative of y with respect to x, t, or θ, as appropriate.

10. y = ln(t^(3/2))
