13. When is a polynomial f(x) of at most the order of a polynomial g(x) as x→∞? Give reasons for your answer.

In Exercises 21–48, find the derivative of y with respect to the appropriate variable.

47. y=(arccot(x³))³

In Exercises 5–8, show that each function is a solution of the given initial value problem.

5. Differential Equation: 2y + y' = 4x + 2

Initial condition: y(-1) = e² - 2

Solution candidate: y = e^(-2x) + 2x

Since the hyperbolic functions can be expressed in terms of exponential functions, it is possible to express the inverse hyperbolic functions in terms of logarithms, as shown in the following table.

sinh⁻¹x = ln(x + √(x² + 1)), -∞ < x < ∞

cosh⁻¹x = ln(x + √(x² - 1)), x ≥ 1

tanh⁻¹x = (1/2)ln((1+x)/(1-x)), |x| < 1

sech⁻¹x = ln((1+√(1-x²))/x), 0 < x ≤ 1

csch⁻¹x = ln(1/x + √(1+x²)/|x|), x ≠ 1

coth⁻¹x = (1/2)ln((x+1)/(x-1)), |x| > 1

Use these formulas to express the numbers in Exercises 61–66 in terms of natural logarithms.

65. sech⁻¹(3/5)

In Exercises 139–142, find the length of each curve.

141. y = ln(cos(x)) from x = 0 to x = π/4.

Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 31–78.

69. ∫dy/(y√(4y²-1))

In Exercises 27–32, find dy/dx.

ln y = e^y sinx
