- Log/Ln Property:

<u>Calculus</u>
Derivatives
Basic Power Rule:
- f(x) = cxⁿ
- f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹
Chain Rule: ![\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%5Bf%28g%28x%29%29%5D%20%3Df%27%28g%28x%29%29%20%5Ccdot%20g%27%28x%29)
Derivative of Ln: ![\frac{d}{dx} [ln(u)] = \frac{u'}{u}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%20%5Bln%28u%29%5D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bu%27%7D%7Bu%7D)
Step-by-step explanation:

- Distribute:

The third term was likely to be 25. You can see a pattern -6 when it goes up a term.
Solve for b?
1. Distribute “4(4b+3)” and “3(6-11)”
16b+12+2b=18-33
2. combine like terms
18b+12=-15
18b=-27
b=-27/18
3. simplify
b=3/2
