Exp Log Problem

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf f(x)=\cfrac{-2x^6}{ln(x)}\quad ?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x) = -2x^{6} \ln x\] f'( x ) = f'( e^ {4} ) =

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, for the f'(x) just use the product rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-2x^6)(1/x) + (-12x^5)(lnx) = dy/dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-2x^{5}\!\left(6\ln\!\left(x\right)+1\right) \]

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

(-2x^6)(1/x) + (-12x^5)(lnx) = dy/dx \(\checkmark\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2nd comment is simplified, how do i get f'(e^4)?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well.... tis simple if you recall the log cancellation rule of \(\bf log_{\color{red}{ a}}{\color{red}{ a}}^x=x\qquad thus \quad ln(e^4)\to log_{\color{red}{ e}}{\color{red}{ e}}^4\iff 4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (-2(e^4)^5)(6*4 + 1)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

e^4)^5 = e^20?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yeap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

genius! thank you :)
