help? step by step Find dy/dx
\[y=(12\sqrt[3]{x}-\frac{ 1 }{ 4x }+e^2)\]
I know I should rewrite it out.. 12*x^(1/3) but now I'm stuck..?
\[\sqrt[3]{x} = x^(\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\] by the property, you subtract 1. So 1/3 - 1 = ? \[\frac{ 1 }{ 4x } = \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x^{-1} \] and \[e^2 \] is just a constant.
\[x^{\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }}\]
okay, thanks.
\[y' = \frac{ 4 }{ x^{\frac{ 2 }{ 3 } }} - \frac{ 1 }{ 4x^2 }\]
so.. rewritten it's \[(12*x^{1/3}-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x^{-1}+e^2)\]
sorry, change the - to +.
ahhh i messed up on the original equation
\[(12\sqrt[3]{x}-\frac{ 1 }{ 4x }+e^2)^7\]
so it's chain rule right?
It's the same thing. now you apply chain rule.
\[7(4x^{\frac{ -2 }{ 3 }} + \frac{ 1 }{ 4x^2 })^6\]
mm.. the answer is different then that.
\[7(12\sqrt[3]{x}-\frac{ 1 }{ 4x }+e^2)^6(4x^{-2/3}+\frac{ 1 }{4 }x^{-2})\]
oh yeah, you multiply by the deriv again.
why do you multiply by the derivative?
oh nevermind haha
I got it.
I'm forgetting my simple rulessss! Ahhhh D;
chain rule states f'(g(x))*g'(x)
it's all good, i totally 4got chain rule for a moment. im rusty in my math
thanks so much though ;D
i remember the chain rule by ths let u equal some function within a function and y=\[f(u)\] so you have\[y=f(u)\] \[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{du}{dx}\frac{dy}{du}\] if you remember one party like du/dx or dy/du.... you'll know what you ned to cancel
