Log derivatives

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4^3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4^{3x}=e^{3x\ln(4)}\] take the derivative using the chain rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or perhaps you have memorized \[\frac{d}{dx}b^x=b^x\ln(b)\] in which case you can go right to the answer, again by the chain rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not exactly clear why you have "log derivatives" if it was something like \[x^{2x}\] you would need logarithmic differentiation, but this one really just needs the chain rule \[4^{3x}\ln(4)\times 3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well my teacher listed log problems i had to derive, this happens to be one of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't it 3(ln4)4^3x?
