dy/dx=?

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\LARGE y=x^{\cos^{-1}x} \]

OpenStudy (dls):

my attempt: \[\LARGE \log y=\log x^{\cos^{-1}x}\]

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\LARGE \frac{1}{y} \times \frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{1}{x^{\cos^{-1}x}} \times \frac{1}{-\sqrt{1-\cos^{-2}x}} \] something like this perhaps?

OpenStudy (dls):

@hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

log x^a = a log x then use product rule.

OpenStudy (phi):

I would use log(x^a)= alog(x)

OpenStudy (dls):

dam confused :| okay

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\LARGE \log y=\log x^{\cos^{-1}x} =\cos^{-1}x\log x \)

hartnn (hartnn):

product rule on right side.

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\frac{d}{dy}logy=d{\cos^{-1}xlogx}\]

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\LARGE \frac{1}{y} \times \frac{dy}{dx}=\cos^{-1}x \frac{1}{x}+\frac{\log}{-\sqrt {1-\cos^{-2}x}} \] this?

OpenStudy (dls):

logx*

hartnn (hartnn):

d/dx cos^-1 of x =.... ?

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\frac{-1}{\sqrt{1-x^{2}}}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\LARGE \frac{1}{y} \times \frac{dy}{dx}=\cos^{-1}x \frac{1}{x}+\frac{\log x}{-\sqrt {1-x^2}}\)

OpenStudy (dls):

okay sorry :S thanks :D (again)
