help me find dy if if y=xlnx then dy=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Product rule. \[f(x)=x\]\[g(x)=ln(x)\]\[y=f(x)g(x)\]\[dy=(f'(x)g(x)+f(x)g'(x))dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes It seems you will have to use the integration by parts. @vf321 is correctr.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Did you understand ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be (x+lnx)dx ? :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO! I made up some functions, f(x) and g(x). Can you tell me what they are? (Hint: Look up). Then find f'(x) and g'(x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or 1 + lnx dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to choose which one you integerate and which one you derive.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1lnx+x(...)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. what is the ...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+lnx)dx ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no... Let's look at it one at a time. What is f(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x)= x so f' is equal to one. i get that, but how to derive lnx ;S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats how i got 1lnx+x(...)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's a definition. d/dx(lnx) = 1/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now plug into the product rule: \[dy = (f(x)g'(x) + f'(x)g(x))dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \frac{ lnx+x }{ x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

forgot the dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dy = (1+lnx)dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why?!?!?! -_-

OpenStudy (phoenixfire):

\[f(x) = x\] \[f^{\prime}(x) = 1\] \[g(x) = \ln(x)\] \[g^{\prime}(x) = {1 \over x}\] Product rule: \[{{\delta fg}\over{\delta y}} = f^{\prime}g + fg^{\prime}\] Now substitute the equations calculated above. \[{\delta y \over \delta x} = 1\ln(x) + x{1 \over x}\] \[{\delta y \over \delta x} = \ln(x) + 1\] the x * 1/x is the same as x/x, which is the same as 1.
