Question

compute the derivative of 3^x+1/x+2

Answer 1

So we want to find \(p\) given \(\large e^p=3^x\).

Answer 2

Does that much make sense?

Answer 3

We want \(p\) in terms of \(x\) since we don't know \(x\). @abbyhernandez

Answer 4

How would you solve for \(p\)?

Answer 5

ok question changed...

Answer 6

i think it would be a good idea to rewrite it in terms of e. but I'm a bit confused as how to go about that. i have e^ln3(x+1/x+2). not sure how to proceede from here

Answer 7

is the function \[\LARGE
3^{\frac{x+1}{x+2}}
\]

Answer 8

????

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

Do you know the chain rule?

Answer 11

Yes I know the chain rule : ) I am at work and have to log out for a while. i apprecite if you can help. i will log in as soon as i get home.

Answer 12

derivative of form a^f(x)
\[\frac{d}{dx} a^{f(x)} = \ln(a)*a^{f(x)}*f'(x)\]
