How did you get 'ln'

i am not quite sure for part 2

The derivative of a power function

$y=a^x, \frac{dy}{dx}=a^x \ ln a$

Re: Year 11 Mathematics 3 Unit Cambridge Question & Answer Thread

How would you then find /dx=1 of the equation after?

I used the product rule to do the derivative.

$u=2^n, v=x^n$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=vu'+uv'$

Re: Year 11 Mathematics 3 Unit Cambridge Question & Answer Thread

for f: why would +1 still be there once its differentiated doesn't that just go?

Re: Year 11 Mathematics 3 Unit Cambridge Question & Answer Thread

q5b and 6b from exercise 12e ?

Re: Year 11 Mathematics 3 Unit Cambridge Question & Answer Thread

$y=x^6+x^5+x^4+x^3+x^2+x+1$

$$Derivative \ of x^6 =6x^5, Derivative \ of x^5=5x^4, Derivative \ of x^4=4x^3, Derivative \ of x^3=3x^2, Derivative \ of x^2=2x, Derivative \ of x=1$

That's why the 1 doesn't disappear.

For 2.PNG

$y=(2x)^n$
$y=2^n \times x^n$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=(x^n)(2^n \ ln 2)+ (2^n)(nx^{n-1})$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=2^n \ x^n(ln 2 + nx^{-1})$

You're not differentiating with respect to n, the exponential law doesn't apply.

Re: Year 11 Mathematics 3 Unit Cambridge Question & Answer Thread

The answer for i. was 2^n x n ,after dy/dx=1 was calculated

Re: Year 11 Mathematics 3 Unit Cambridge Question & Answer Thread

Thanks for the help! Can you also go through q4.

I know this might be stupid but Q6b might be wrong.

Re: Year 11 Mathematics 3 Unit Cambridge Question & Answer Thread

Here is my working out anyway:

Here is my graph:

Re: Year 11 Mathematics 3 Unit Cambridge Question & Answer Thread

Pender , Sadler, Shea and Ward have the solution as 4(1+log 2)

Someone want to confirm?
