I DESPERATLEY NEED HELP! how do u derive.. cubrt(x)^(lnx)?
have a look at this page https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~kouba/CalcOneDIRECTORY/logdiffdirectory/LogDiff.html
@jim_thompson5910 I saw he posted it twice. The first time, there was someone helped him take derivative. This time, you give him the page which show how to take derivative of log. My question: derive and derivative are the same meaning? I am sorry for my bad English. I don't understand.
to derive a function is to find the derivative of it
so yeah, they are the same
Thank you. So, I don't know why he re-post it. The helper gave him the whole solution for this problem.
idk, people can be strange (maybe he didn't get the answer he wanted)
:)
I've never heard someone say "derive" to mean "take the derivative". I believe the correct way of saying it is "differentiate". Derive is what you do when you take equations and do stuff with them to come up with something else. Like how Einstein derived the time dilation, he didn't take any derivatives he just applied the pythagorean theorem at different reference frames and that light was constant, that kind of thing.
I've seen the word "derive" used in both cases: to differentiate and to logically construct new rules, formulas, etc (based on previously established ones).
