Derivative of y=ln(sinx)

OpenStudy (dan815):

do u understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um you multiply it by the derivative ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought, ln(x) = 1/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm aware of the chain rule

OpenStudy (dan815):

do u wanna watch a 5 min video about chain rule proof

OpenStudy (dan815):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HpqWjOcrUc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me with one more thing please ?

OpenStudy (dan815):

ya sure

OpenStudy (dan815):

dont watch that video, the proof seems longer than expected.. ill find another one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's okay, I already have the proof written in my note book :)

OpenStudy (dan815):

hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large f(x)= \log_{4} (3x+1)^b\]

OpenStudy (dan815):

do u really??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large f'(x) = \frac{ 1 }{ (3x+1)^bln(4) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would that be right or not ?

OpenStudy (dan815):

where is this ln(4) coming from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well my teacher gave us a note today, " If \[\large y=\log_{b} x\] then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ dy }{ dx } = \frac{ 1 }{ xlnb }\]

OpenStudy (dan815):

ok. well in this case is x is a X(x) right

OpenStudy (dan815):

so u gotta multiply by that derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

" x is a X(x) " < I dont understand what you mean by that

OpenStudy (dan815):

you got y=Log(b)f(x) not just x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But it just says 'x' :S

OpenStudy (dan815):

and the f'(x)=dy/dy ( 3x+1)^b = b(3x+1)^b-1 * 3

OpenStudy (dan815):

i mean that x there isnt just x* its a function of X

OpenStudy (dan815):

so u gotta multiply by f'(x)
