3.5, #8, Given Problem.
 

Differentiate:
Given Problem.
We differentiate using the power rule. Because there is an inner function, we use the chain rule.
Here the first quantity is squared
..and here we do the polynomial multiplication
..and here we use the distributive property to arrive at our derivative.
Another way to do the problem follows:
Here we first multiply out the original given product,
..and then take the derivative. We arrive at the same solution.

3.5, #16, Given Problem.
 

Given Problem.
We use the product rule.
Simplify
Factor. This is our derivative.

3.5, #34, Given Problem.
 

Given Problem.
We need the chain rule and the product rule in order to find this first derivative.
Now we calculate the second derivative.
Now we substitute each of our derivatives into the given differential equation.

After simplifying, we have shown that the differential equation is true
