i need to generate the formula to take the derivative of 3 functions and this what i did; f(x)*g(x)*h(x) = f'(x)[g(x)*h(x)]+g'(x)[f(x)*h(x)]+h'(x)[f(x)*g(x)]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Looks good if the LHS is rather d(f(x)*g(x)*h(x))/dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why would you divide by the dx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's just a cautious practice, suppose you have the chain rule! Here you don't need that caution :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry to bother you guys again, but how would i create a formula for an infinite number of functions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Similar way, derivitive of one times all the others plus derivitive of next times the others etc. This only works for arbitrarily large number of functions, though. Having an infinite number of functions is...rather weird.

i need to come up with a actual formula using N fir differentiated function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I presume you have N functions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im sorry i still dont follow you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does N represent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

differentiable functions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??? Try this dN/dx=f_1'(x)f_2(x)...f_n(x)+f_1(x)f_2'(x)...f_n(x)+...+f_1(x)f_2(x)...f_n'(x). Don't quite understand the question anymore

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need to come up with a formula to find the derivative of the product of infinite functions so f(x)*g(x)*h(x)...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is f'(x)g(x)h(x)...+f(x)g'(x)h(x)...+f(x)g(x)h'(x)... ... where the derived function moves along one each term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so N=the number of equations it would be N'*N+N*N'? would that work?
