find the derivatives

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let's start with the first one.\[\frac{d}{dx}[e^{x^{3}}+\log_{4}(\pi)]\] The first term can be derivated normally. We need to multiply by the derivative of its power as well. The second term doesn't depend on x, so it is a constant in this. Therefore, it's derivative is 0.\[\frac{d}{dx}=e^{x^{3}}(3x^{2}) +0=3x^{2}e^{x^{3}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what rule did you use for it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Umm, I think it's called the chain rule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thanks now i see it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The second one looks ugly. You could make it look a little neater:\[\frac{d}{dx}[x^{\frac{\ln(x)}{6}}]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the power go to the front? or no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, because this isn't the case of x^n, rather the power is also a function of x. This one is a little tricky actually. If i'm not mistaken you can rewrite the integral in a form that is doable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i rewrite it then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{d}{dx}[x^{\frac{\ln(x)}{6}}]=\frac{d}{dx}[e^{\ln(\frac{xln(x)}{6})}]\] I'm not sure if this is right, i'm just writing it out to see what it looks like. I'm thinking you can exponentiate it all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the e and ln wont cancel out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the point! :D They do cancel out, but that is why I wrote it. We may be able to derivate this expression. Since they cancel out, it means the statement I wrote is equivalent to the one we originally had.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's just a different form of the same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Again, not sure if it's the correct way to try and proceed. I'm testing it now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok then i guess we can try it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we would be left with?|dw:1417924855868:dw|
