Answer:  \dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function : y=\ln(x(x^2 - 1)^{\frac{1}{2}})

\Rightarrow\ y=\ln x+\ln (x^2-1)^{\frac{1}{2}}    [\because \ln(ab)=\ln a +\ln b]

\Rightarrow y=\ln x+\dfrac{1}{2}\ln (x^2-1)}  [\because \ln(a)^n=n\ln a]

Now , Differentiate both sides  with respect to x , we will get

\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})\dfrac{d}{dx}(x^2-1) (By Chain rule)

[Note : \dfrac{d}{dx}(\ln x)=\dfrac{1}{x}]

\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})(2x-0)

[ \because \dfrac{d}{dx}(x^n)=nx^{n-1}]

=\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{1}{x^2-1})(2x) = \dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{x}{x^2-1}\\\\\\=\dfrac{(x^2-1)+(x^2)}{x(x^2-1)}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)}

Hence, the derivative of the given function is \dfrac{2x^2-1}{x(x^2-1)} .

What is the value of p in the question below. 10x9/2x4= px 5
ycow [4]

Answer:

p = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

\frac{x^{a}}{x^{b}} = x^{a-b}

So

\frac{x^{9}}{x^{4}} = x^{9-4} = x^{5}

10/2 = 5

Then

\frac{10x^{9}}{2x^{4}} = 5x^{9-4} = 5x^{5}

Finding p:

5x^{5} = px^{5}

p = \frac{5x^{5}}{x^{5}}

p = 5

8+3(5-1) =20 I am very confused on how this equals 20, someone please explain. thanks
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

first you have to do the subtraction in the parentheses so it's 8+3(4) and then you multiply the 3 by 4 (only the 3 because the 8 isn't next to the multiply) and then you have 12, add 8 and it's 20
