    We need higher standards for college professors. We pay a lot of money for them to teach us while many don’t really teach us anything. The fact that we have to use google and UA-cam to learn more than they will ever teach us is ridiculous. I don’t know how, but this needs to change.

    Hey Professor, how did you get 5x^6 from x^2? (It's from Checking Comprehension Ex.3) I see you do the Product Rule first and then the Chain Rule but I can't see where it comes from.

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  5 років тому +21

      so that's from when you take the derivative of sin x^5, chain rule gives you 5x^4(cos x^5) and then you combine 5x^4 with the x^2 you already have.

    When using the chain rule, I usually prefer to start with the derivative of the inner function. Especially for multiple compositions, it often feels easier to start with the inner most function and work my way out.
    Multiplication of derivatives is commutative.

    I'm surprised that you leave the square root in the denominator at 3:34
    Is it so easy he didn't bother showing or why don't we have to do it anymore?

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 роки тому

      To define "have to" depends on who's asking you to solve the problem. The reason why math teachers have you rationalize the denominator as a standard part of simplifying, is to make the problem more computationally friendly. If you didn't have a calculator, it is much easier to calculate sqrt(3)/3 instead of 1/sqrt(3) by hand, assuming you already know sqrt(3)'s digits.
      It's also easier for a calculator or computer to handle calculations with rationalized denominators. A lot fewer steps, which can make your code run faster, if you've got a programming code that runs hundreds if not thousands of the same calculation.
      In this case, because there is a variable under the square root, it is better to just leave it there. That way, you don't end up with more instances of the variable in your expression. If your goal were to solve for the variable, having fewer instances of it is an advantage.

    1. bring down the power in the front of the bracket as a multiplier.
    or bring down the power to the front of the bracket as a multiplier. it is better to put the preposition (in) or (to) in the above sentence .
    2. reduce the power by one
    3. multiply the derivative of the inside function.

    • @gauravchahal5444
      @gauravchahal5444 6 років тому +1

      In a situation where there is an exponential function in the form g(x)= a^f(x), In which a is a real number, the formula for the derivative is as follows.
      g'(x)=a^f(x)*lna*f'(x).
      So you first write the original exponential function down, then you multiply by the ln of the base, and lastly, multiply by the derivative of the exponent. If the exponent was simply x, you would multiply by 1 since that is the derivative of x. If the exponent was 2x, you would multiply by 2. If it was sin x, you would multiply by cos x and so on.

    • @carultch

      @@reubenmanzo2054 You can differentiate i^x. The OP just limited the statement to real numbers, to keep it simple, as a lot more can happen with complex numbers that you might not anticipate. Therefore, you generally avoid acknowledging that a rule also works for complex numbers if that is beyond the scope of a particular class or topic. You then limit your domain to real numbers so that you don't accidentally give an incorrect statement for how the rule works with complex numbers.
      To differentiate i^x relative to x, you rewrite it in its alternative form of e^((i*pi*x)/2). Define k=i*pi/2, and rewrite as e^(k*x). Now differentiate with the chain rule, and get k*e^(k*x). Recall the value of k, and rewrite. You will get: 1/2*i*pi*e^(1/2*i*pi*x), which you can replace the base e term with the original expression i^x, and write as 1/2*i*pi*i^x.
