fuck, i rather see post about homo shit than this fucking thing you guys call math.

 

i find math interesting h:

 

its all in my brain :loco:

it makes me miss teaching/tutoring, i need me a jay-oooh-beeeeee

 

i meant the online resources if you have any more...

 

dude, I whipped something up real quick. You can simplify this:



Like I see a 2 that can be factored out etc.

 

i just googled "ln derivative" and went to the first few hits

wathworld is legit, lots of good stuff there, mathtopia sp? was good i think
i havent done anything with math for a few years now so im a bit out of the loop

i used to try to use university web pages alot though, classes with notes online are super useful, and questions are pretty universal if you know what i mean :rick:

 

I think he knows how to compute the ln derivative, I just don't think he knows how to break it up.


You just didn't use the chain rule right, see above post

edit: verified with my calculator (sort of). My calc minimized it a lil bit but it looks to be similar.

 

This shit is fuckin gay, my book doesn't give me anything, I had to go online to get as far as i got....ill keep trying until i get it right

 

My shit should help!

 

oh holy fuck dont do it that way

y=ln(x^4 + 5x^2)^(3/2)
use ln manip. to get
y=(3/2)(ln(x^4 + 5x^2)

then use the def of deriv of ln to get
y'=(3/2) [(1/(x^4 + 5x^2))(4x^3 + 10x)]

simplify
y'=(12x^3 + 30x)/(2x^4 + 10x^2)


basically y=ln(x)
y'=(dx/x)
but only for lower level stuff, dont do this in 253 or above
