If y=x^{\log_2(x)}, then taking the logarithm of both sides gives

\ln(y) = \ln\left(x^{\log_2(x)}\right) = \log_2(x) \ln(x)

Differentiate both sides with respect to x :

\dfrac{d\ln(y)}{dx} = \dfrac{d\log_2(x)}{dx}\ln(x) + \log_2(x)\dfrac{d\ln(x)}{dx}

\dfrac1y \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{d\log_2(x)}{dx}\ln(x) + \dfrac{\log_2(x)}{x}

Now if z=\log_2(x), then 2^z=x. Rewrite

2^z = e^{\ln(2^z)} = e^{\ln(2)z}

Then by the chain rule,

\dfrac{d2^z}{dx} = \dfrac{dx}{dx}

\dfrac{de^{\ln(2)z}}{dx} = 1

e^{\ln(2)z} \ln(2) \dfrac{dz}{dx}= 1

\dfrac{dz}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{e^{\ln(2)z}\ln(2)}

\dfrac{dz}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{2^z \ln(2)}

\dfrac{d\log_2(x)}{dx} = \dfrac{1}{\ln(2)x}

So we have

\dfrac1y \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{\ln(x)}{\ln(2)x}+ \dfrac{\log_2(x)}{x}

\dfrac1y \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{\log_2(x)}{x}+ \dfrac{\log_2(x)}{x}

\dfrac1y \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{2\log_2(x)}{x}

\dfrac1y \dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{\log_2(x^2)}{x}

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{y\log_2(x^2)}{x}

Replace y :

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{x^{\log_2(x)}\log_2(x^2)}{x}

\dfrac{dy}{dx} = x^{\log_2(x)-1}\log_2(x^2)

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is of 0.22.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our test statistic is:

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

In which X is the sample mean, \mu is the expected mean, \sigma is the standard deviation(square root of the variance) and n is the size of the sample.

A lumber company is making boards that are 2920.0 millimeters tall.

This means that \mu = 2920.

A sample of 12 is made, and it is found that they have a mean of 2922.7 millimeters with a variance of 121.00.

This means that X = 2922.7, n = 12, \sigma = \sqrt{121} = 11. So

t = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{2922.7 - 2922}{\frac{11}{\sqrt{12}}}

t = 0.22

The value of the test statistic is of 0.22.

How do you sketch the angle in standard position and 40 degrees
katen-ka-za [31]
A 40 degree angle: go from the right positive side of the x-axis and go left (left is positive degrees) forty degrees, which is a little less than halfway in quadrant 1.
