Hi,

I've been given the equation

dP/dt = c log (P/M) P and I've solved it to find p(t) = M*exp(Aexp(c*t)) and I need to differentiate back in order to get it in the form of the original equation but I'm finding it extremely tricky and messy to achieve and it's really bugging me so I was wondering whether anybody would be able to assist me in answering/conquering this question

Regards,

Charlotte​

Re: Tricky Differentiation Please help :(

Show us your work, did you use the chain rule?

What is your question? Find derivative of x^3?
 

FAQ: Solving for the Derivative of a Tricky Equation

What is "Tricky Differentiation"?

"Tricky Differentiation" refers to the process of finding the derivative of a function that involves complex or unconventional mathematical techniques.

Why is "Tricky Differentiation" important in science?

Many scientific problems involve functions that cannot be easily differentiated using basic rules. "Tricky Differentiation" allows scientists to solve these problems and make accurate predictions and models.

What are some common techniques used in "Tricky Differentiation"?

Some common techniques include the chain rule, product rule, quotient rule, and implicit differentiation. Other techniques may involve using trigonometric, logarithmic, or exponential functions.

How do I know when to use "Tricky Differentiation"?

If a function cannot be differentiated using basic rules, it may require "Tricky Differentiation". This is often the case when the function involves multiple variables, complex mathematical operations, or special functions.

Are there any tips for mastering "Tricky Differentiation"?

Practice and familiarity with different techniques is key to mastering "Tricky Differentiation". It is also helpful to understand the underlying concepts and relationships between functions and their derivatives.
