\(x^4\ln(x)\) you need to take the derivative \((x^4)'\ln(x)+(\ln(x))'x^4\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

you with me @mannyfresh6200 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so far i am

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

(x^4)'=?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

(ln(x))' = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

X^4= 4x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and ln(x)= (ln(x))

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

(ln(x))'=1/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the final answer to intevral thats increasiing

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

did you figure out the deriviative?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
