Find dy/dx at x=0

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\Large y=(1+x)(1+x^2)(1+x^4)..(1+x^2)^n\]

OpenStudy (dan815):

is that supposed to be 1+x^(2^n)

OpenStudy (dls):

no,the question is correct

OpenStudy (dan815):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take a logarithm on both sides

OpenStudy (dls):

that gives 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

itll be easier

OpenStudy (dls):

tried already

OpenStudy (dls):

\[logy=\log(1+x)+\log(1+x^2)..\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now dy/ydx = d(...)/dx

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\frac{dy}{dx}=y(\frac{1}{1+x}+\frac{1}{1+x^2}..)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second term is 2x/(1=x^2)

OpenStudy (dls):

oh yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so all otr terms will reduce to 0

OpenStudy (dls):

so only y(1)/1+x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is 1 then?

OpenStudy (dls):

what about "y"?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y is 1 at x=0

OpenStudy (dls):

cool :D
