  • Let's talk about how to take the derivative. Of course, I will give you an example of the derivative of sqrt(x) first, then there's a test question, the derivative of sqrt(x)^sqrt(x) for you to try!

    Class: d/dx sqrt(x)
    Midterm: d/dx [sqrt(x)^sqrt(x)]
    Final:
    d/dx [sqrt(x)^sqrt(x)^sqrt(x)^...]

    You could do logarithmic differentiation for d/dx sqrt(x)^sqrt(x)! I like your method too! This cracked me up haha, love it :)

  • @tr060
    @tr060 2 года назад +15

    It is maybe more easy to substitute u = \sqrt x
    You end up with d/dx (\sqrt(x)^\sqrt(x)) = d/du (u^u) du/dx
    And this results in the more clear result: 1/2 u^(u-1) (ln u - 1)

    The final question on the test that is worth 50 points will be taking the indefinite integral of e^x^2 dx
    Then finish off with a bonus question of calculating to which real value the harmonic series of 1/n converges
    Oh let’s not forget the final jeopardy, solving the equation x=x+1

    my teacher I have a question which is mathematiciansn say "any number raised to the power of zero other than zero is always equals to 1." why zero is exception. my teacher in school said to me it is not how many times it was multiplied . what helps me to know how many times have been multiplied, as I know every number multiplied by Zero is Zero.

    yeah they look about the same, I'm just gonna diff the sqrt(x) first so we have 1/2sqrt(x)
    Ok so d/dx y^y=d/dx e^ylny=y^y*(y'lny+y'*y/y)=y^y y' (lny+1)
    y=sqrt(x)=> d/dx sqrt(x)^^2=sqrt(x)^^2 *1/(2sqrt(x))((lnx)/2+1)

    • @pranavkondapalli9306

      you cant take the derivative of y in terms of x
      use d/dy, not d/dx

    • @pedrosso0
      @pedrosso0 2 года назад +1

      ​@@pranavkondapalli9306 Yes I can take the derivative of y in terms of x, because y is a function of x.
      You are right that I could just have differentiated y^y in terms of y and appended y' which would yield the same result.

  • @MohammedAli-ig2nu
    @MohammedAli-ig2nu 2 года назад

    Can you investigate Integral of (1+tanh x)/(1+tan x) ? Does it have a solution? And how can one decide if the antiderivative of some expression can be found?

    • @pranavkondapalli9306
      @pranavkondapalli9306 2 года назад +1

      well, try solving it using integration by parts, let 1+tanhx be u and 1/1+tanx be v
      ∫uv dx = u ∫vdx - ∫ u' (∫vdx)
      substitute and hopefully find an answer
      btw ∫vdx = 1/2(ln(sinx+cosx)) if youre interested :)

    • @user-yr3uj6go8i
      @user-yr3uj6go8i 2 года назад +2

      The weed-out classes are typically in universities rather than community colleges since university professors generally care more about research rather than teaching.

  • @ScoutOnly
    @ScoutOnly 2 года назад

    Why can't I just use the rule you applied in the example?
    d/dx sqrt(x)^sqrt(x) = sqrt(x) * sqrt(x)^(sqrt(x) - 1) * 1/(2sqrt(x)) = (x^((sqrt(x) - 1)/2))/2
    Would this approach be incorrect? Why?

    • @Magistrixification
      @Magistrixification 2 года назад

      Because the exponent is also a function of x. The 'power rule' is for constant exponent.

  • @MissChambers
    @MissChambers 2 года назад +2

    Couldn't you just use implicit diff for this? Let y = sqrt x ^ sqrt x, re-arrange to x^(1/2x^1/2), then ln both sides, and diff both sides then multiply by the y at the end?

      this is called logarithmic diff, implicit diff is mostly for equations that cannot be expressed as y in terms of x
