01:25:34 4.5.10 (was 4.4.10) find the derivative of ln(1-x)^(1/3)
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> ln(1-x)^(1/3) = 1/3 ln(1-x) u = 1-x u'* 1/u u'=-1 =-1/(1-x) =1/3 * -1/(1-x) = -1/(3-3x) confidence assessment: 2

01:27:42 The function is of the form ln(u), so the derivative is 1/u * u', or ln(u) * du/dx. The function u is (1-x)^(3/2). The derivative of this function is u' = du/dx = -1 * 3/2 * (1-x)^(1/2) = -3/2 (1-x)^(1/2). Thus the derivative of the original function is 1/u du/dx = 1 / [(1-x)^(3/2) ] * [-3/2 (1-x)^(1/2)] = -3/2 (1-x)^(1/2) (1-x)^(-3/2) = -3/2 (1-x)^-1 = -3 / [ 2 (1-x) ] ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION: Note that ln(1-x)^(1/3) = 1/3 ln(1-x) The derivative of ln(1-x) is u ' * 1/u with u = 1-x. It follows that u ' = -1 so the derivative of ln(1-x) is -1 * 1/(1-x) = -1/(1-x). The derivative of 1/3 ln(1-x) is therefore 1/3 * -1/(1-x) = -1 / [ 3(1-x) ].**

01:28:02 4.5.25 (was 4.4.24) find the derivative of ln( (e^x + e^-x) / 2)
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 1/u du/dx u = (e^x + e^-x)/2 du/dx = (e^x - e^-x) / 2 [1/(e^x + e^-x)/2]* [(e^x - e^-x) / 2]= (e^x - e^-x) / (e^x + e^-x) confidence assessment: 3

01:28:20 the derivative of ln(u) is 1/u du/dx; u = (e^x + e^-x)/2 so du/dx = (e^x - e^-x) / 2. The term - e^(-x) came from applying the chain rule to e^-x. The derivative of ln( (e^x + e^-x) / 2) is therefore [(e^x - e^-2) / 2 ] / ] [ (e^x + e^-x) / 2 ] = (e^x - e^-x) / (e^x + e^-x). This expression does not simplify, though it can be expressed in various forms (e.g., (1 - e^-(2x) ) / ( 1 + e^-(2x) ), obtained by dividing both numerator and denominator by e^x.). ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION: ln( (e^x + e^-x) / 2) = ln( (e^x + e^-x) ) - ln(2). the derivative of e^(-x) is - e^(-x) and ln(2) is constant so its derivative is zero. So you get y ' = (e^x - e^-x)/(e^x + e^-x). **

......!!!!!!!!...................................
01:29:18 the exponential form of y = log{base 3}(x) is x = 3^y, which I think was the question -- you can check me on that and let me know if I'm wrong **

01:29:46 Extra Problem (was 4.4.50) Find the equation of the line tangent to the graph of 25^(2x^2) at (-1/2,5)
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 25^u u=2x^2 du/dx= 4x Du/dx*ln(a)*25^u =4x ln(25)*25^(2x^2) Plug in -½ for x = -32.19 Slope -20 ln(5) Now solve for y y-y1 y-5 = -20 ln(5) x - 10 ln(5). y = -32.189x - 11.095 confidence assessment: 3

01:30:02 Write 25^u where u = 2x^2. So du/dx = 4x. The derivative of a^x is a^x * ln(a). So the derivative of 25^u with respect to x is du / dx * ln(25) * 25^u = 4x ln(25) * 25^u = 4x ln(25) * 25^ (2 x^2). Evaluating this for x = -1/2 you get 4 * (-1/2) ln(25) * 25^(2 * (-1/2)^2 ) = -2 ln(25) * 25^(1/2) = -2 ln(25) * 5 = -10 ln(25) = -20 ln(5) = -32.189 approx. So the tangent line is a straight line thru (-1/2, 5) and having slope -20 ln(5). The equation of a straight line with slope m passing thru (x1, y1) is (y - y1) = m ( x - x1) so the slope of the tangent line must be y - 5 =-20 ln(5) ( x - (-1/2) ) or y - 5 = -20 ln(5) x - 10 ln(5). Solving for y we get y = -20 ln(5) x - 10 ln(5). A decimal approximation is y = -32.189x - 11.095 ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION: A straight line has form y - y1 = m ( x - x1), where m is the slope of the graph at the point, which is the value of the derivative of the function at the point. So you have to find the derivative of 25^(2x^2) then evaluate it at x = -1/2. The derivative of a^x is ln(a) * a^x. The derivative of 25^z would therefore be ln(25) * 25^z. The derivative of 25^(2 x^2) would be found by the chain rule with f(z) = 25^z and g(x) = 2 x^2. The result is g ' (x) * f ' (g(x)) = 4 x * ln(25) * 25^(2x^2). Evaluating at x = -1/2 we get -2 ln(25) * 25^(1/2) = -10 ln(25). Now we use the ponit-slope form of the equation of a straight line to get (y - 5) = -10 ln(25) * (x - (-1/2) ) and simplify. **

01:30:30 4.5.59 (was 4.4.59) dB = 10 log(I/10^-16); find rate of change when I=10^-4
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 10 log(I / 10^-16) derivative = 10 (log I - log(10^-16) ) = 10 log I + 160 =10 / [ ln(10) * 10^-4 ] = 10^5 / ln(10) = 43,429.45 decibel change confidence assessment: 3

......!!!!!!!!...................................
01:30:36 This function is a composite; the inner function is I / 10^-16, which has derivative 1/10^-16 = 10^16. So the derivative is dB' = dB / dI = 10 ( 10^16 * / ln(10) ) / (I / 10^-16) = 10 / [ ln(10) * I ]. Alternatively, 10 log(I / 10^-16) = 10 (log I - log(10^-16) ) = 10 log I + 160; the derivative comes out the same with no need of the chain rule. Plugging in I = 10^-4 we get rate = 10 / [ ln(10) * 10^-4 ] = 10^5 / ln(10), which comes out around 40,000 (use your calculator to get the accurate result. **

01:31:14 4.5.60 (was 4.4.60) T = 87.97 + 34.96 ln p + 7.91 `sqrt(p); find rate of change
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> deriv 87.97=0 deriv ln(p+ 7.91*sqrt(p)) = 1/p + 7.91*1/2sqrt(p) =34.96*1/p+7.91*1/2sqrt(p) =0.548 Although I may not be doing my order of operations correctly, I keep getting different final values depending on ways I plug in the variable ""60"" for p. confidence assessment: 2
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
01:31:41 The derivative with respect to p of ln p is 1 / p and the derivative with respect to p of sqrt(p) is 1 / (2 sqrt(p)). The derivative of the constant 89.97 is zero so dT/dp = 34.96 * 1/p + 7.91 * 1 / (2 sqrt(p)) = 34.96 / p + 3.955 / sqrt(p). **

RESPONSE --> ok, but wasn't 60 the value for p in the book? were we not supposed to solve it all the way? self critique assessment: 2
