calc help!

myininaya (myininaya):

\[y=(f(x))^{g(x)} , f(x)>0 \\ y=(f(x))^{g(x)} \\ \ln(y)=\ln([(f(x))^{g(x)}] \\ \ln(y)=g(x) \cdot \ln(f(x)) \\ \frac{y'}{y}=g'(x) \ln(f(x))+g(x) \cdot \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\] Then you can find y' by multiplying y on both sides

myininaya (myininaya):

So comparing your answer to my answer do you think you are done?

myininaya (myininaya):

I wonder if you multiplied y on both side yet?

myininaya (myininaya):

or if you differentiated ln(y) correclty.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i was wrong

myininaya (myininaya):

not totally

myininaya (myininaya):

I'm just saying it looks like you are one step away from done

myininaya (myininaya):

unless you differentiated the ln(y) incorrectly

myininaya (myininaya):

when you differentiate ln(y) what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im redoing it with your steps, one sec(:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@myininaya

myininaya (myininaya):

Ok ln(y)=3xln(x+8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you agree ?

myininaya (myininaya):

with you have ln(y)=3xln(x+8) yes

myininaya (myininaya):

then differentiate both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iambatman do you agree?

myininaya (myininaya):

well you differentiate both sides

myininaya (myininaya):

not just one side

myininaya (myininaya):

you have ln(y)=3xln(x+8)

myininaya (myininaya):

so take derivative of both sides w.r.t x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{d}{dx}(\ln(y))=\frac{d}{dx}(3x \ln(x+8))\]

myininaya (myininaya):

beautiful
