help with finding derivative

myininaya (myininaya):

ok what is the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

given y=\[\ln((\sqrt{\sin \theta \cos \theta})/(1+2\ln \theta)) \] find \[dy/d \theta\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[y=\ln(\frac{\sqrt{\sin(\theta)*\cos(\theta)}}{1+2\ln(\theta)})\] right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

given y=\[\ln((\sqrt{\sin \theta \cos \theta})/(1+2\ln \theta)) \] find \[dy/d \theta\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

myininaya (myininaya):

ok cool so you remember ln(a/b)=lna-lnb?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

given y=\[\ln((\sqrt{\sin \theta \cos \theta})/(1+2\ln \theta)) \] find \[dy/d \theta\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

given y=\[\ln((\sqrt{\sin \theta \cos \theta})/(1+2\ln \theta)) \] find \[dy/d \theta\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for some reason my problem keeps getting posted again

myininaya (myininaya):

\[y=\ln(\sqrt{\sin(\theta)*\cos(\theta)})-\ln(1+2\ln(\theta)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

testing 123

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

myininaya (myininaya):

\[y=\frac{1}{2}*\ln(\sin(\theta)*\cos(\theta))-\ln(1+2\ln(\theta))\] good so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes its good

myininaya (myininaya):

now if we take derivative of both sides we get: \[\frac{y'}{y}=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{\cos(\theta)*\cos(\theta)+\sin(\theta)*(-\sin(\theta))}{\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)}-\frac{2\frac{1}{\theta}}{1+2\ln(\theta)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i see that

myininaya (myininaya):

to find derivative of ln(sin(theta)*cos(theta)) we have to do (sin(theta)*cos(theta))'/(sin(theta)*cos(theta)) but to find the derivative of a product we have to use the product rule correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

myininaya (myininaya):

now to find y' what is the last step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply both sides by y

myininaya (myininaya):

yes!

myininaya (myininaya):

wait oops that y is not suppose to be there i'm sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply both sides by y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no

myininaya (myininaya):

its suppse to be y'=all of that not y'/y=all of that sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so, dont multiply both sides by y

myininaya (myininaya):

no you are already dont because you never had y'/y you just had y'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me what the solution would look like? tk

myininaya (myininaya):

if would be what i have just ignore the y at the bottom of y' k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks

myininaya (myininaya):

\[y'=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{\cos(\theta)*\cos(\theta)+\sin(\theta)*(-\sin(\theta))}{\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)}-\frac{2\frac{1}{\theta}}{1+2\ln(\theta)}

myininaya (myininaya):

\[y'=\frac{1}{2}*\frac{\cos(\theta)*\cos(\theta)+\sin(\theta)*(-\sin(\theta))}{\sin(\theta)\cos(\theta)}-\frac{2\frac{1}{\theta}}{1+2\ln(\theta)} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, ty, u r the best

myininaya (myininaya):

:)
