Homework Statement
Differentiate the following with respect to x leaving in the simplest form
\frac{d}{{dx}}\left[ {\ln \left[ {\left( {1 - \sqrt x } \right)^2 \left( {1 + \sqrt x } \right)^3 } \right]} \right]

x^2y
the y is biglike the x its not small
and how do you differentiate this
xy^2
for the first one i used the product rule and thesecond one and i get a different answer then what i was suppost to get
y=ex(x is suppost to be smaller and on the top right of e)/x squared
i a suppost to differentiate this, well i wrote -2ex/x cubed+ ex/ x sq.
now u probabl might be confused by the way i wrote it since i don't know how to put the right things for my problems,
well i set up the problem...
...Kay, so I was doing [or trying to do] my homework, and it's pretty basic, actually.
We're given a table comprising substances like "vegetable oil", "gatorade", "pencil lead", etc; and asked to predict its electrical conductivity.
I tried Googling some of it, but nothing really relevant...
Could someone please make sure I'm doing this right.
I want to find the derivative of the logarithm to the base a of x, using implicit differentiation.
Let y = \log_{a} x
a^y = x
\frac{d}{dx} (a^y) = 1 (implicit differentiation)
\frac{d}{dx} (e^{\ln a})^y = 1
\frac{d}{dx} (e^{(\ln a)y}) = 1...
differentiate inverse tan (2x / [1 - x^2] ) with respect to inv sin ( 2x / [1 + x^2] ).
may i know what does it mean with respect to inv sin and how to start wif this ques pls
I am to differentiate with respect to z, where a is independent of z... (am assuming that that a is a constant?)
a. e^{a^2 z}=diff=>a^2 e^{a^2 z}
b.e^{ia z}=cos(az)+isin(az)=diff=>-sin(az)+icos(az)
c. (e^{-i z})^2=cos(2z)-isin(2z)=diff=>-sin(2z)-icos(2z)
d...
I'm a little confused as to when to stop taking the derivative of the inside function when using the chain rule...
Lets say I have f( g(x^2) )
Would this be correct?
f`( g(x^2) ) * g`(x^2) * 2x ?
Or do I keep on going until the x is completely gone from the equation?
I know this is how to differentiate a funtion consisting of two terms:
f(x)=xy , f'(x)=x'y+y'x
But is this how to differentiate three terms:
f(x)=xyz , f'(x)=(x'y+y'x)+(y'z+z'y)+(x'z+z'x)
:confused:
How?
I know that a scalar quantity only comprises of magnitude while a vector consist of both magnitude and direction..
But is there no definite formula to determine whether or not a quantity is a scalar or a vector.. or is there a list of scalars and vectors to show all quantities...
Hi,
I am having a bit of trouble, i am getting ready for an exam, one the questions i have asks
"given the curve y = e^x, draw tangents to esitmate the gradients of the curve when
a)x=0, b)x=1, c)x=-1,
Now i know the answers are:
a) 1 b) 7.39 c)0.05
However the toruble i am...
I wonder if this can be differentiated ,if it can then what is the derivative of
[x^x^x^x^x^x...]^[(x^2)^(x^2)^(x^2)...]^[(x^3)^(x^3)^(x^3)...]^[(x^4)^(x^5)...]......
thank you
how to differentiate between the two masses in equation for relativistic mass?
m= mo/sqroot 1-v^2/c^2 what's the difference between m and mo?
and what about for energy: eo and e?
Take this double replacement reaction for example:
Na_2SO_4 + CaCl_2
How am I supposed to tell whether the product will be CaSO_4 + Na_2Cl_2 or CaSO_4 + 2NaCl?
Obviously, there's a difference between Calcium Sulfate + 2 Sodium Chloride molecules and Calcium Sulfate + Sodium DiChloride...
v=vi*e^(-ct)
The question asks to differentiate that equation for v(t) and thus show that the acceleration is porportional to the speed at any time.
I have no clue how to differentiate. Could someone start me off or give some clues? I'll find th rest in my textbook. Thanks
f(x) = x.e^(-pi.x^2)
this is how I tried to do it...
f'(x) = x.(-pi.2.x.e^(-pi.x^2)) + 1.e^(-pi.x^2)
f'(x) = (1 - 2.pi.x^2).e^(-pi.x^2)
can anyone see anything wrong with this?
Cheers
I'm not sure how to do this one. Only way I can think of is using the Product Rule but I don't know how to apply it when there are more than two functions.
Something like:
y=(x)(sinx)(cosx)
--separate it into three different functions--
f(x)=x, g(x)=sinx, z(x)=cosx
--use Product...
