Implicit differentiation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here's the question and solution

OpenStudy (abb0t):

@iambatman can answer this for you. He is a math prodigy. This is too had for me.

I'm going out for dinner, but I'll get back to you in a bit. Unless someone has answered it by then, bbl, good luck!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, thanks anyways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@abb0t , I tried that and I got the answer and it took two pages..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What I don't understand is how they got \[\Large e^x ~\ln e^x~x^{e^x}\] on the left hand side of the equation as you go from the 2nd line to the 3rd line. I don't understand if it was differentiation they did or what, bc I differentiated that side and got something very different

OpenStudy (abb0t):

@dan815 is subpar (at best), in math. he can mayb help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help @jim_thompson5910 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got the same answer as my work did but I just wanted to know how they got that

OpenStudy (aum):

I think between the first and second line in the solution they skipped several intermediate steps and rearranged terms. For instance, you see a ln(x) on the right hand side. Where did it come from except it has been moved from the LHS to the RHS.

OpenStudy (dan815):

haaha such trolling!!

OpenStudy (dan815):

implicit differntiation just take , every var not respect to the differntation var as a function of that var and carry differentiation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, that's all that happened. I don't get the LHS of the 2nd to 3rd line

OpenStudy (dan815):

@abb0t hate u

OpenStudy (dan815):

@doulikepiecauseidont are you wroking on a new problem or the same ?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

OpenStudy (aum):

Okay, counting the problem line as the first line, they skipped intermediate steps between line 2 and line 3. The derivative of x^(e^x) is NOT e^xln(x) x^(e^x). They have moved some terms to the RHS.

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

simplified it then divided that's what happened

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, thanks
