Differentiate x^2 e^x logx

zimovet [89]

Product rule:

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}(x^2e^x\log x)$

$=\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}e^x\log x+x^2\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^x)}{\mathrm dx}\log x+x^2e^x\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log x)}{\mathrm dx}$

Power rule:

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(x^2)}{\mathrm dx}=2x$

The exponential function is its own derivative:

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(e^x)}{\mathrm dx}=e^x$

Assuming the base of $\log x$ is $e$ , its derivative is

$\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log x)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1x$

But if you mean a logarithm of arbitrary base $b$ , we have

$y=\log_bx\implies x=b^y=e^{y\ln b}\implies1=e^{y\ln b}\ln b\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}$

$\implies\dfrac{\mathrm dy}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac{e^{-y\ln b}}{\ln b}=\dfrac1{b^y\ln b}$

$\implies\dfrac{\mathrm d(\log_bx)}{\mathrm dx}=\dfrac1{x\ln b}$

So we end up with

$2xe^x\log x+x^2e^x\log x+\dfrac{x^2e^x}x$

$=xe^x(2\log x+x\log x+1)$

I need help on this parallelograms math problem.

Andrews [41]

w=37

2w+w+69= 180 knowing that all triangles add up to 180 form an equation

3w+69=180 combine like terms and subtract 69 from both sides

3w=111 divide by 3 from both sides

w=37
