  5. Error in question

    The following errors occurred when rendering the question:

    • Error in expression: differentpars
      Could not determine truth value of required condition Not(Eq(par1,par2)), evaluated as: b != a
    Let $m(z) = b e^{ a z^2 }$, where $b$ and $a$ are parameters (i.e., constant numbers). What is $\displaystyle \diff{ m }{ z }$? What is $\displaystyle\diff{ m }{ z }\bigg|_{ z= \nu }$?
    Need help?

  6. Let $y(t) = (10 t^{3} + 8 t^{2}) \ln (t)$. What is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of $y$ at the point $t=2$. At the point $t=\Diamond$?
