\[\huge y= 2(3^x)\]

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

take logs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know what the derivative of 3^x is?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

ln y = ln 2(3^x) ln y = ln 2 + x ln 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can I do product rule here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2\frac{ d }{ dx }3^x=2(3^x*\ln3)=2\ln3*3^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cwrw238 would that be implicit differentiation ?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yes
