find the derivative:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=(sinx)^\sqrt{x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so far i have: \[\sqrt{x}(sinx)^{\sqrt{x}-1}(cosx)\]

hartnn (hartnn):

it doesn't work when exponent is a avariable. u need to use logarithmatic differentiation

hartnn (hartnn):

take log on both sides , what u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i have to set both sides to ln

hartnn (hartnn):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i have this one written out anyways, can u help me with this one: \[y=(1+4e ^{2x})^{2x}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

same thing, take ln on both sides.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the ln(1+4e^2x)^2x .. confused as to what to do with that.

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\large ln a^b=blna\)

hartnn (hartnn):

then use product rule

hartnn (hartnn):

ln y= 2x ln(1+4e^2x) diff. w. r. t. x

hartnn (hartnn):

i think u can take it from here...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i use the product rule for 2x * lm(1+4e^2x) ??

hartnn (hartnn):

yes.
