differentiate 2^x^3
\[(2x^3)'=3\cdot2x^{3-1}=6x^2\]
its 2 to the power x to the power 3 |dw:1366795945265:dw|
put y=(2^x^3)... use logarithms on both sides then differentiate. You need to find dy/dx :) Hope this helps.
:(
@yashdhanuka - did you not understand ??
no
ln(y)=(x^3) (ln(2)) did u understand this ???
yes
@yashdhanuka we use logarithmic function to take powers in multiplication so that it is easy to solve :)
d(ln(y))/dx = (1/y)*(dy/dx) did u understand this ??
yes
thanks a lot @xavier123 :)
i got the the answer
\[\LARGE y = 2^{x^{3}}\] take natural logs of both sides \[\LARGE \ln y = \ln 2^{x^{3}}\] \[\Large \ln y = x^3 \ln 2\] now either differentiate implicitly, or put both sides to the power of e: \[\LARGE y = e ^ {x^3 \ln 2}\] Now differentiate. The derivative of \[\Large e^{f(x)}\] is \[\Large f'(x) e ^ {f(x)}\]
so, differentiate both the sides of the previous equation, => dy/dx=(y)* d(x^3)/dx and evaluate.
thanks a ton :D
Just more generally, @agent0smith \[\huge \frac{d}{dx}a^{f(x)}=\ln(a)f'(x)a^{f(x)}\]
thanks a lot
Only if a is a constant, ok?
Sorry, XD. I missunderstand the function XD
