Algebra.Com's Answer #13365 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'll make up a problem: \n" ); document.write( "y = log (x^2+5) base 3 \n" ); document.write( "This can be written as \n" ); document.write( "y = [ln(x^2+5)]/[ln 3]\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Taking the derivative remember derivative of ln u is (1/u)du. \n" ); document.write( "So, \n" ); document.write( "y' = (1/ln3)(1/(x^2+5)(2x) by the chain rule.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
