Can some one plz help me in this question
find the exact gradient of the tangent to the curve y=e^x+ln x at the point where x=1
I know y'= 1/x times e^x+lnx
And then sub 1
But i am not getting answer of 2e

times?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
As in * multiply
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[y=e^x+\ln(x)\]
\[y'=e^x+\frac{1}{x}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
X+lnx are both power
OpenStudy (anonymous):
e^(x+lnx)

oooh it is
\[e^{x+\ln(x)}=e^xe^{\ln(x)}=xe^x\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
got it

Srry i am on my ipad

your derivative is wrong

Oh hw so
OpenStudy (dan815):
yah its 1+1/x dummy!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
first off \[\large e^{x+\ln(x)}=e^xe^{\ln(x)}=xe^x\] and to take the derivative of that, use the product rule
there is no \(\frac{1}{x}\) in it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
e^x = e^x and e^lnx will be y'= 1/x e^lnx
OpenStudy (dan815):
^ or you can keep it as the exponential and do
d/dx ( e^(fx))= f'x * e^f(x)
d/dx (e^(x+lnx))=(1+1/x)*e^(x+lnx)

what ever you like best
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The derivative of e^x is not x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whoa hold the phone
\[\frac{1}{x}e^{\ln(x)}=1\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Hahah thank u
OpenStudy (dan815):
you are welcome ! :)

there is really no reason ever to write \(e^{\ln(x)}\) since it is just \(x\)

I know but In hsc our exam they cut off marks for that
