  • This calculus video tutorial provides a basic introduction into logarithmic differentiation. It explains how to find the derivative of functions such as x^x, x^sinx, (lnx)^x, and x^(1/x). You need to take the natural log of both sides of the equation and perform implicit differentiation to find dy/dx. You need to be familar with product rule for derivatives and properties of logarithms.

    Shortcut for derivative of a function of type: f(x) raised to g(x)
    Let f(x) be f
    Let g(x) be g
    Let derivative of f(x) be f'
    Let derivative of g(x) be g'
    d/dx(f^g)=(f^g)(f'(g/f)+g' log(f))
    For those who couldn't understand what's written above, It reads as:
    derivative of f raised to power g is equal to f raised to power g times (derivative of f times g by f + derivative of g into log(f))

      you are applying d/dx to y, if it was d/dx to x then it would just be 1/x
      if you apply d/dx to anything other than x you have to tag a d(variable)/dx to the end
      dy/dx is saying the derivative of y with respect to x

    • @Arthur-so2cd
      @Arthur-so2cd 2 роки тому +3

      since y=f(x), ln(y) is the same as ln(f(x)), so it's a compound function and we need to use the chain rule. the derivative of ln(y) is 1/y and the derivative of y is dy/dx

      Because we have defined y to be a function of x. So, because y is a function, we have to use the chain rule when we differentiate ln(y).

      @@SquatSimp Well, to answer that question, I have to ask you one first: why do you think you _can_ do that?
      If it said ln(x^x), you'd be correct, that can be written as xln(x). But it *doesn't* say that, it says ln(x)^x, which has nothing at all to do with xln(x).

      If you want to see how to make things clear, you can rewrite (ln(x))^x using base e as (e^ln(ln(x)))^x=e^(xln(ln(x))). Then, differentiate using chain and product rule. You would end up as e^(xln(ln(x)))(x(1/(xln(x)))+ln(ln(x))))=(ln(x))^x(1/ln(x)+ln(ln(x))), which is the same answer as before.

    For the first problem, can't you simplify sin x/x and write it as 1?

      Bro you can do that when x is tending to zero.. in limits basically.
