What is the derivative of 2^x? | Socratic
2015年7月28日 · d/dx (2^x) = 2^x * ln2 In order to be able to calculate the derivative of 2^x, you're going to need to use two things the fact that d/dx(e^x) = e^x the chain rule The idea here is that you can use the fact that you know what the derivative of e^x is to try and determine what the derivative of another constant raised to the power of x, in this case equal to 2, is. To do that, …
From First Principles - Calculus | Socratic
Using first principles, the derivative of the exponential function c^x can be simplified, however, determining the actual limit is best done by using a computer.
What is the derivative of b^x where b is a constant? | Socratic
2016年1月11日 · First, note that bx = eln(bx) = exlnb This allows us to differentiate the function using the chain rule: d dx [exlnb] = exlnb ⋅ d dx [xlnb] Just like d dx [5x] = 5, d dx [xlnb] = lnb, since lnb will always be a constant. This gives us a derivative of: exlnb ⋅ lnb Now, recall that exlnb = bx. This gives us our final, differentiated result:

What is the derivative of sin 5x? | Socratic
2016年1月19日 · 5cos5x Use the chain rule. The chain rule states that, in the case of a sine function, d/dx[sinu]=cosu*(du)/dx More generally, the chain rule says to identify an inside function and an outside function. Here, the outside function is sinx, and the inside function is 5x. The chain rule then says to differentiate the outside function, and the derivative of sinx is cosx. With this …

How do you find ( (d^2)y)/ (dx^2)? - Socratic
2016年11月3日 · 2xy + 2y2 = 13 Differentiating wrt x and applying the product rule gives us: 2{(x)(dy dx) + (1)(y)} +4y dy dx = 0 x dy dx + y + 2y dy dx = 0 ⇒ dy dx = − y x + 2y Differentiating again wrt x and applying the product rule (twice) gives us: ∴ {(x)(d2y dx2) + (1)(dy dx)} + dy dx + 2{(y)(d2y dx2) + (2 dy dx)(dy dx)} = 0 ∴ x d2y dx2 + dy dx + dy dx + 2y d2y dx2 + 2(dy dx)2 = 0 …
