what is derivative of?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[e ^{x ^{5}} +\log _{2}(\pi)\]

OpenStudy (schrodingers_cat):

First use the chain rule on e(x^5) so you will get (5x^4)e^(x^5) then derivative of log2(π) is just 0because its a constant.

OpenStudy (schrodingers_cat):

So the answer is (5x^4)e^(x^5).

Hope this helps :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thank you! but why is the derivative of the log a constant!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?*

OpenStudy (schrodingers_cat):

Because log is just an operator in this case on pi which is just a number and the derivative of a constant is zero. :)

thank you! (:
