ENG1001 Tutorial 7 (Differentiation)

This document provides examples of differentiating various functions, finding implicit derivatives, linear approximations, and using a sales estimation table to estimate units sold at different price points. It contains worked examples of differentiating logarithmic, exponential, trigonometric and composite functions. The implicit differentiation examples include solving for the derivative of y with respect to x. The linear approximation examples provide the estimate of f(x) for values near x0. And the sales table is used to interpolate the estimated units sold at prices of $24 and $36.

$x as given in the table.
x 20 30 40
f(x) 18 14 12
