wait, its nowhere close to sqrt((ln6x+7)(7x−3))
are you sure this is the right one?

yes this question and root question
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
well the second one was clearer than the first, so no need for a screenshot (in my opinion) for the second one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, sorry about that
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
ok so it's completely flipped around, thought so, but wasn't sure
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you would use the chain rule twice, then the product rule once you hit the product

for the root one?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I see! what part do i use chain rule?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
for the ln( ... ) part and the sqrt( ... ) part
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(6x+7)^1/2 (7x-3)^1/2?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
first you would take the derivative of ln(x) to get 1/x
but x is some expression with a square root of a product
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so it's really 1/(that expression)
but then you use the chain rule to multiply it by the derivative of that expression
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
then you would use the chain rule again to derive (6x+7)(7x-3)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
which you would use the product rule at this point
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so as you can see, it gets ugly fast

in(6x+7)(in7x-3)?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it's L n (lower case L though)
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
and that seems too simple to be the final answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no the first step, haha
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
oh, no that's not correct either

oh :(
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
the first step is to derive
ln( sqrt( (6x+7)(7x-3) ) )
to get
1/( sqrt( (6x+7)(7x-3) ) ) * d/dx[ sqrt( (6x+7)(7x-3) ) ]
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you would then take the derivative of sqrt( (6x+7)(7x-3) )
OpenStudy (anonymous):
take?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(6+7)'7x-3)^1/2?

the derivative of sqrt( (6x+7)(7x-3) ) is _____
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what you got isn't quite it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
In(6)(7)?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
no just focus on sqrt( (6x+7)(7x-3) ) for now
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, sqrt is always confusing me

if y = sqrt(x)
then y ' = 1/(2*sqrt(x))
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh! 1/ (6x+7)(7x-3) )
OpenStudy (raden):
well, before i derive it. try to expanding (6x+7)(7x-3)=42x^2+31x-21
so, f(x) = ln{sqrt(42x^2+31x-21)}
now, we derive it by chain rule
a re-explain what is @jim_thompson5910 said before,
if given y = sqrt(f(x)) then y ' = f '/2sqrt(f(x))
and we knowed that the derivative of ln(u) = 1/u
thus, the derivative of y can be
y ' = {(42x^2+31x-21)'/2sqrt(42x^2+31x-21)}/(sqrt42x^2+31x-21)
y ' = (84x+31)/2(42x^2+31x-21)
OpenStudy (raden):
look not enough good to read :)
i will figure out that :
