help? ;D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ e^\sqrt{x} }{ 2\sqrt{x} }-\sec^2(x)\] Finding dy/dx

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

You've a Quotient Rule and some Chain Rules in your future. Give it a go and we'll see if you wander off.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I'm trying it out right now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree quotient rule on the left and use the chain rule on the right\[f(x)=\sec x\]\[f'(x)=\sec x \tan x\]Visualize the right as \[(\sec x)^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=e^x\]\[f'(x)=e^xx'\]

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

It's NOT pretty. \(\dfrac{2\cdot\sqrt{x}\cdot \dfrac{d}{dx}e^{\sqrt{x}} - e^{\sqrt{x}}\cdot\dfrac{d}{dx}2\cdot\sqrt{x}}{\left(2\cdot\sqrt{x}\right)^{2}}\) and that just the left piece! Sorry, I was just having fun coding that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, I finished the quotient rule part. I'm working on the chain rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh my lordy!!! I'm doing the wrong question! it's \[e^{\sqrt{x}}-\tan(x)\]

hah :D

That's hilarious, the thing you posted at the start is actually the answer lolol. So you posted the answer instead of the question? XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was finding the derivative of the flippen answer to the question... erghh But, i got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need sleep haha!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

too funny XD
