CAN SOMEONE CHECK IF I HAVE THE RIGHT ANSWER? for Find the derivative of the function. y=Ine^x
\[y=\ln(e^x)\]like that? :o
y(prime)=1/xe^x+e^x1/x
no w.out the ( )
is the power inside the log or no? :)
nope :l as it is written initially
y=Ine^x
are you allowed to do any simplifying before you take the derivative? or is derivation suppose to be your first step? because there is a really nice simplification here :o
umm u simplify 1st
spose a = e^x a' = e^x D [ln(a)] = a' /a
\[\ln e=1\] gives you a nice place to start :D y=1^x
not 1^x
if anything ln(e^x) = x ln(e) = x
his equation is y=(ln e)^x
really? hmm
wont i 1st rewrite In?
ln e then is just a constant ...
???????????????????
lol that one always confuses people :)
you need to get comfortable with natural log lilly!! :D ln e, means --> e to what power = e
should go something like this eh \[a^x=y\] \[x=log_a(y)\] \[x=\frac{ln(y)}{ln(a)}\] \[x~ln(a)=ln(y)\]---------- derive \[ln(a)=\frac{y'}{y}\] \[y~ln(a)=y'\] \[a^x~ln(a)=y'\]
okay now i KNOW i am failing that quiz on FRIDAY ......:[[[[[[[[[[
interactmath.com its a free site similar to MathLab. lots and lots of practice problems there to work on :)
THANKS ILL CHECK IT OUT :]
good luck ;)
okay no i do need help
that site walks you thru the problems as well, giving step by step solutions.
my calc book is not on the site
it doesnt have to be, the material in a calculus book hasnt changed for cenuries
solving derivatives in one calculus books is the same as solving them in all the others
whta book do u suggest i click on
let me give it a look see.
http://interactmath.com/ChapterContents.aspx adams calculus is the first title i see that has to do with calculus, open up to view the contents
i see bittinger calculus and applications down the list
and what ch do u suggest i click on?
on adams
briggs cochran as well yeah, try out the adams book
heres a screenshot of what im looking at
most of the calculus titles look about the same; and there are about a dozen that i spotted in the list
plz help
plz help doing what?
i cant click on any of the things 4 the website it wont let me
i wouldnt know how to help with that ... it works fine for me
okay thnx
if youve got a textbook, try working thru the problems at the end of the chapters, and not just the assigned ones
post them up if youve got questions or ideas about them
okay :)
