16. $y=\frac{5 x^{3}+7 x^{2}}{x}$
Solution
Solution Steps
To find the derivative of the given function, first simplify the expression by dividing each term in the numerator by the denominator. Then, apply the power rule of differentiation to each term.
Step 1: Simplify the Expression
The given function is \( y = \frac{5x^3 + 7x^2}{x} \). We can simplify this by dividing each term in the numerator by \( x \):
\[
y = \frac{5x^3}{x} + \frac{7x^2}{x} = 5x^2 + 7x
\]
Step 2: Differentiate the Simplified Function
To find the derivative of the simplified function \( y = 5x^2 + 7x \), we apply the power rule of differentiation. The power rule states that the derivative of \( x^n \) is \( nx^{n-1} \).
The derivative of \( 5x^2 \) is \( 10x \).
The derivative of \( 7x \) is \( 7 \).
Thus, the derivative of the function is:
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = 10x + 7
\]
