Solution matched perfectly. For the first time, she didn’t forget the ( \frac{dy}{dx} ) on the (y^3) term. The final exam had a related rates problem she’d dreaded: A spherical balloon is inflated at 10 cm³/s. How fast is the radius increasing when ( r = 5 ) cm? Mia wrote calmly:

Thus: ( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{5 - 2x y^3}{3x^2 y^2 + \cos y} )

She opened to Chapter 3: . Problem 28 — Find ( \frac{dy}{dx} ) for ( y = \sin^3(4x) ) Mia tried first: ( y = (\sin(4x))^3 ) Derivative: ( 3(\sin(4x))^2 \cdot \cos(4x) \cdot 4 ) She wrote: ( 12 \sin^2(4x) \cos(4x) ) Solution matched perfectly

: Rewrite: ( f(x) = 5x^{-3} - 2x^{1/2} ) ( f'(x) = 5(-3)x^{-4} - 2\cdot\frac{1}{2}x^{-1/2} ) ( f'(x) = -15x^{-4} - x^{-1/2} ) ( f'(x) = -\frac{15}{x^4} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} ) 2. Product Rule with Trig Problem : Find ( h'(x) ) for ( h(x) = e^{2x} \cos(3x) )

[ \frac{d}{dx}[x^2 y^3] + \frac{d}{dx}[\sin(y)] = \frac{d}{dx}[5x] ] How fast is the radius increasing when ( r = 5 ) cm

Then checked the solution in the back: — ( y = [\sin(4x)]^3 ) Let ( u = \sin(4x) ), then ( y = u^3 ), ( \frac{dy}{du} = 3u^2 ) ( \frac{du}{dx} = \cos(4x) \cdot 4 ) (chain rule again inside) ( \frac{dy}{dx} = 3[\sin(4x)]^2 \cdot 4\cos(4x) = 12\sin^2(4x)\cos(4x) ) ✓ She had gotten it right — but the solution reminded her to explicitly show the inner chain rule on (4x), a step she often rushed. A Week Later — The Improvement Mia did two chapters per night. On Wednesday, she tackled implicit differentiation : Problem 47 — Find ( \frac{dy}{dx} ) for ( x^2 y^3 + \sin(y) = 5x ) She wrote:

Group (\frac{dy}{dx}) terms: ( \frac{dy}{dx} (3x^2 y^2 + \cos y) = 5 - 2x y^3 ) Product Rule with Trig Problem : Find (

Right side: ( 5 )

“You didn’t fail,” her friend Leo said. “You just… discovered a growth opportunity.”
